Special guests for Sentieri Sonori!!
Hello PanoPeople!!
We always tell you you should listen to Sentieri Sonori, Italian-indie radio show of Radio Ara, each Saturday from 11.30am to 1pm, 103.3&105.2fm in Luxembourg, live streaming online.
Well, you have another good reason to do this, lately:
lots of guests participating to the show!
Guests, especially musicians have very often participated, but now that is happening, and will happen, more and more.
On January 16th, Naif was in the studio, for an interview and an acoustic live session..
Last week, on the 23rd, Alessandra Gismondi (from Pitch & Schonwald) was on the phone, to talk about her new project, Vessel, including two members of Giardini di Mirò.
You missed these two shows? It's your lucky day!
Here you have the links you need.. ;)
We're happy and proud to announce that this Saturday, January 30th, Raf and Berardo will have on the phone Tommaso Colliva, sound engineer well-known for his work with bands such as Afterhours and Muse, whom we now know better as "the mind behind Calibro 35".
Tommaso will present us Ritornano quelli di Calibro 35, second cd of the band, which will be released next month.
A great preview!!
And, believe us.. the cd is just AWESOME.
Stay tuned!!

Big news: PANOPLIE ITALIAN NIGHTS IV !!!
Hello PanoPeople!!
As we told you, we are working on Panoplie events until summertime.
Like we said, there will be less events.. but bigger ones!
It doesn't mean at all that we will do less, just that we want to focus our energies: less quantity, more quality, we might say?
Moreover, apart from "public" events, there will be more "private" ones:
house concerts.
That means bringing artists to play live, more or less acoustic, in a house.
With a sound system, a house can be a better place to gather a small public, 20/30 people max, for an intimate gig and a nice dinner, also with the artist.
We will keep you informed of these events, too.
Now, let's get to the big announcement of the day.
As usual, right before summer, our yearly festival will take place at d:qliq.
Two days of Italian music, food, drinks..
Strange as it might seem, we already got to its 4th edition!
PANOPLIE ITALIAN NIGHTS IV
May 28th & 29th
@ d:qliq
More info will follow soon, but.. we can already tell you that big things will happen.
Friday should be focused on electronic sounds, with a couple of live sets, and a couple of dj-sets.. and lots of images, too..
Saturday should be more a matter of rock sounds, with a couple of live sets, and a final rock-dj-set.. you probably guess whom by! ;)
So.. start to note it on your agenda!!
Cheers

Calibro 35 @ d:qliq: a video!!
Hello PanoPeople!!
Our friends Calibro 35 just flew away.. and we feel on a cloud, too.
Can't stop thinking about last night: it has been amazing!!
We don't have too many images, unfortunately.. but at least a nice video!
Here you can see the 3rd encore they have been "forced" to play: not the best video, but it definitely captures the hot atmosphere.
Viva Calibro 35!!
Panoplie Team
What a night, last night..
.. we really need to thank everybody!!
First of all, the great and hot crowd: a sold-out always is a satisfaction, but we have rarely seen such an enthusiastic public!
Then, obviously, d:qliq staff, nice as always, and even warmer than usual!
Naif and her band, who started the night with a really nice gig, starting to make people dance..
Our friend Kustonbeater, who has become Calibro 35's Luxembourg official DJ, making people dance as usual until late night..
And, most of all, to the great Calibro 35!!
We really love them, artistically but also personally, you probably knew..
It was a sort of 2nd birthday of the band: 2 years since their very concert, which took place at d:qliq..
After 2 years this band, born as a fun-side-project, has become one of the most interesting emerging bands from Italy, and definitely one of the best live acts!
And, in a few weeks.. their new cd is being released!
We have had the honour of a preview.. pay attention, cuz it's AWESOME!!
It'll soon be presented, also at Sentieri Sonori: we'll tell you more soon, stay tuned.
We couldn't dream anything better for the comeback of Panoplie after our sabbatic semester..
And we're already working on the coming events!
We can already tell you there's gonna be less events.. but bigger ones!
The offer of live music in Luxembourg is growing bigger and bigger, so we have decided to focus our energies: we're sure you won't be disappointed!!
Cheers

Naif Hérin
Hello PanoPeople!!
Two more days, and our first event of 2010 will finally take place.
This Saturday, at d:qliq, the comeback of Calibro 35, with Naif as opening act and Kustonbeater mixing for the aftershow party!!
We don't need to tell you much about Calibro 35.. do we?
On the other side, we want to tell you a bit more about the opening act: Naif!
Christine Naif Hérin's voice is light and intense, her songs fascinating, her live sets full of energy..
She was born in 1981 in Val d'Aosta, French-speaking northwestern part of Italy, and she self-taught to play piano, guitar and bass, starting to write songs since very young.
In 2002, she created her recording studio, giving an important impulse to her musical activity.
Since then, she has self-produced 6 cds (also recording with USA producer Tommy Barbarella and Sommy Thompson and Michael Bland, all former members of Prince's New Power Generation), played live throughout Europe (amongst others, operning for Lauryn Hill, duetting with Maceo Parker..), participated to different festival (also winning a few critics' prizes)..
Nowadays, while Italian medias and public talk more and more about her, she's presenting her cd Faites du bruit around Europe, also playing at Boule Noire in Paris and at Taratata.
As usual, we let you discover her by herself: hereafter two videos of Naif performing live.
Oui Maman live
Tu m'as promis live
Isn't she another good reason to come to Calibro 35's gig?
Cya there!!
