From Rebel Rebel to the fourth X Factor Live show
The radio appearance falls between two crucial episodes for Renato Marchisio, Davide Dore, Luca Pintus and Jacopo Sale. On November 5, during the Jukebox Night dedicated to music from the 1960s and 1970s, the four performed Rebel Rebel by David Bowie on stage. The public vote sent them through to the fourth Live show without a sing-off. Those who missed the episode can rewatch the Mad-Dog’s performance of Rebel Rebel.
Bowie’s song is another chapter in a journey that began at the Auditions with Brianstorm by Arctic Monkeys, which won over all four judges. Before the talent show auditions, the band had already built up its repertoire in Sassari’s venues and with original songs collected on Shame On Youth, as we explain in our feature on the history and origins of Mad-Dog.
After the radio appearance, the band will be back competing on Thursday, November 12 for the fourth Live show, airing on Sky and streaming on NOW, with a subscription.
