PIN IV: Heike Has The Giggles

Hello PanoPeople!!


After a couple of days of break, we're back with more info on Panoplie Italian Nights IV.
We told you about the whole line-up of Friday, May 28th, so let's get to Saturday, May 29th!


The second night of PIN IV will be started by one of the hottest young (20/21yo) bands from Italy: 
Heike Has The Giggles!!


Heike has the giggles and guess what? it's gonna make you smile too!!!
HHTG is an italian trio formed in 2007. Their music is a poppy punk rock with an energetic and catchy attitude. Emanuela Drei's surprising vocals support her spiky guitar riffs, while the fast drumming of Guido Casadio keeps the pace up and Matteo Grandi's bass provides the essential groove.

Like a young PJ Harvey singing with the Arctic Monkeys, HHTG is a live act hard to ignore. As well as a big string of headline solo shows they also shared important Italian stages with some great artists including: The Wombats (Estragon, Bologna), Glasvegas (Bronson, Ravenna), Tricky (Vox Club, Modena), The Futureheads (Bronson, Ravenna) Pete & The Pirates (Spazio211, Torino) and Look See Proof (Casa 139, Milano). 
A recent concert of HHTG in Bologna has been followed by a dj-set of.. Franz Ferdinand's leader Alex Kapranos!
They have been invited to many festivals such as Canadian Music Week (2009, Toronto, CAN), Eurosonic Noorderslag (2010, Groningen, NL), Sziget Festival (2008, Budapest, HU), Liverpool Sound City (2010, Liverpool, UK), Walk The Line (2010, The Hague, NL), All2GetherNow (2009, Berlin, GER), Sonic Visions (2009, Rockhal LUX) and Italia Wave Love Festival (2008-2009, Livorno, IT).

Their debut album Sh! was released in February 2010 on the Italian indie label Kitano.




Tomorrow we'll post a couple of videos to let you check by yourself.. They really rock!!




Stay tuned!!
