The New Dada was an Italian 1960s beat music band.

Career

New Dada were formed in Milan In 1962 by 17-years old vocalist Maurizio Arcieri, Franco "Pupo" Longo (drums), Franco Jadanza and Renato "Renè" Vignocchi (guitar), Ferruccio "Ferry" Sansoni (keyboards) and Giorgio Fazzini (bass guitar).

In 1965, their manager, Leo Watcher, performed a coup when he convinced The Beatles's managaement to choose them as supporting act for their Italian tour. They same year they won the first edition of the "Beat Bands Festival" in Rieti. After releasing a handful of singles and their first and only album, I'll Go Crazy, the band took part in television programmes, Studio Uno and Andiamoci Piano,[1] and participated to the 1966 edition of the "Cantagiro" Festival with "Non dirne più" as well as winning several contests held at the Bandiera Gialla Beat Club in Rimini.

On 22 September 1966, Arcieri met Christina Moser at a private party held for the birthday of Leo Watcher's daughter Patrizia. He left New Dada shortly afterwards and went on to form a new band with Moser, Krisma.

The remaining New Dada members initially backed Arcieri in his early solo efforts. They later opened for The Rolling Stones in Roman during their Italian 1966 tour before disbanding.
