Here we are to present you the headliners of Panoplie Italian Nights IV:
Julie's Haircut!!
Active since 1994, Julie’s Haircut is a six piece collective from northern Italy.
Their debut album Fever in the funk house (Gammapop, 1999), a strange mixture of garage rock, noisy psychedelia and pop melodies was hailed at by the Italian critics as one of the best debuts in Italian indie rock.
The follow-up Stars never looked so bright (Gammapop, 2001) mixed these elements with a more soulful approach, mirroring the love for 60’s black music nurtured by the band.
In 2003, after switching to Homesleep Records Julie’s Haircut released their third album Adult situations, the first to be internationally distributed. Here, melody and odd psychedelia mingle in a more personal way, providing their best work to date.
By 2005 the music of Julie’s Haircut has moved forward towards more experimental grounds, focusing on improv and sound research, without losing touch with the groove that characterized their music since day one. The result is their fourth album After dark, my sweet (Homesleep, 2006), featuring former Spacemen 3 Sonic Boom, acclaimed as one of the best alternative Italian albums of the year.
In 2006 they also functioned as “sound carriers” for an Italian performance of former Can singer Damo Suzuki, thus entering the Damo Suzuki Network and consolidating a warm relationship with the japanese/german artist.
In 2009 their latest, double album Our Secret Ceremony is released by A Silent Place.
They participated with success to Rockhal's Sonic Visions Festival last winter, but a set of 30 minutes is not enough for them to make you discover their universe..
So, come and see them for a looooong set next Saturday, May 29th, at d:qliq!!
And come back here tomorrow for a few clips!!
Cya there!!
