Founding members, Alessandro “Frank” Lapini and Michele Trillini were childhood mates that went on to play in bands together & separately through their teens & twenties. They came back together in 2011 to form FLEMT.
This reunion proved to be timely because, after months of hard work, the opportunity was presented to FLEMT to compete for the chance to open for Bon Jovi in concert. FLEMT won the contest and opened for Bon Jovi at the “Udine Stadium” before a crowd of 40,000 fans.
The tracks from the demo tapes that were sent to the contest, were met with such tremendous response, FLEMT took those 13 original songs and used them for their debut album “The Time Has Come”.

Newest member of FLEMT, Nico Lattanzi is professionally trained and adds a modern twist to the band’s rock’n’roll songs. Nico studied singing since the age of 13, first with a private teacher, later with a singing school in Ancona and eventually studied singing in Milan with vocal coach Danila Satragno. Nico participated in various competitions obtaining many results such as: 1st place at the “Ponterosso festival”, 1st place at the “Varano Canta”, 1st place at the “Festival sotto il Conero”, 1st place at the “Moncalvo in canto 2016”, 2nd place at the “Umbria Voice Prize” and awarded as best performer, twice 2nd place at the “Festival sotto le stelle” and finally awarded with the “Songwriter Award” at the “Lucio Dalla Award”.  As a solo artist Nico interpreted an unreleased Nuvole e Sole production entitled “Nothing is like you” which can be found on all digital platforms and has also been a guest at several events in the square, including the one in Trezzano sul Naviglio and Corsico, at the “Ancona Music Day”, which took place at the Teatro delle Muse in Ancona broadcast live on regional TVRS, and at the Piccolo Circus of Dreams where he performed at an event for solidarity with Ukraine.

Archelao Macrilló, drummer for FLEMT, attended the University of Boston. Archelao’s resumé includes performing with Marco Mendoza (Whitesnake) Ignite Violet, Julien Funk & Thomas Mester & Ramzi Khoury.

In 2016, Gina Helms Whitt & her USA based management company Southern Girl Promotions joined FLEMT as their manager. With management in place, FLEMT began to expand their musical dreams & aspirations to perform their original rock music internationally setting their sights on the United States & Canada. This was a favorable decision as their music has been met with a tremendous response. They have a large North American fan base.

FLEMT has released music with The Orchard – Sony and Ingrooves Universal Music Group under their former label. Their single & video Dream Girl was released on September 13, 2019. and in March 2021, FLEMT’s new single Don’t Stop Me was released with great response after coming out of the Pandemic period.

FLEMT toured with Rowan Robertson, ex-guitarist with the Ronnie James Dio band, in Europe during the 2022-23 season.

On 5 August 2023 FLEMT will be opening for Atomic Rooster and Nazareth at the Baloma Biker Festival in Italy.
