883 (pronounced otto otto tre) was an Italian pop group[4][5] active from 1988 to 2003.
History
[edit]883 were formed by singers Max Pezzali and Mauro Repetto after their roles on the 1988 television series 1,2,3, Jovanotti (at that time, the name of the band was 'I Pop'). Being big fans of motorbikes, especially Harley-Davidsons, they decided to name the group 883 after the 883cc Harley-Davidson Sportster.[6] They recorded some demos and forwarded them to Claudio Cecchetto, a DJ and producer who had worked on 1, 2, 3, Jovanotti. The group released their debut single "Non me la menare" which became a smash hit in Italy. Their first album, Hanno ucciso l'Uomo Ragno ("They killed Spider-Man"), hit number 1 on the Italian charts.[7] Their second album, Nord sud ovest est, produced the number 1 singles "Sei un mito" and "Come mai".[7] Upon the release of their third album, Repetto left the group. Pezzali recruited new members and continued the band name. "Un giorno così", from the 1997 album La dura legge del gol!, also went to number 1 in Italy. In 1998, the group released a film about themselves, titled Jolly Blu. A greatest hits collection was issued in 1998 as Gli anni. After Grazie mille (1999) and Uno in più (2001), Pezzali himself went solo in 2003.
They sold over 10 million albums and won Festivalbar (one of the most important musical competition in the country) a total of three times: in 1993 (best album), in 1995 (best song) and finally in 2005 (best album).
