PIN VI thanks

A few hours after Panoplie Italian Night VI, still need to recover, but can't help writing a few lines of thanks..

It has been a magic night, a really hot one, not only for temperature.. a night I definitely won't forget.

Thank you Kustonbeater: you need to be there when Calibro 35 play, and you've been great in warming up the night before the two gigs and after.

And our switch will stay into my mind: nice one!!

Thank you A Classic Education: wonderful people and great musicians, and really tough travellers..

We loved your album, and your live set has a great impact!

Thank you Calibro 35: you know how much Luxembourg loves you, since your birth.. your gigs here are always special!

And last night you knocked out everybody, surprising even those who were already fans, stronger than warmth..

Thank you Francesco Neri: after Panoplie's dissolution, you pushed me to organising one more night (and thanks Pablo Chimienti for the introduction).

It wouldn't have been possible without your support, and it will stay as our most successful night ever.

Thank you La Locanda - Hôtel Pax and Bondani: Panoplie Italian Nights wouldn't have been the same without your delicious buffet.

Dario, Saverio, Ottavio, Mino, you offered us one of the keys to these 6 years of success.

Thank you d:qliq team: Panoplie wouldn't have been what it has been without this special place and its wonderful staff, Sandra, Sergio, Chico, Vanessa.

Manu, for his help and his love for Calibro, Ed, perfect technical support, we didn't miss Fred for that.. but we missed him anyway!

Thank you Panoplie team: years passing by, less and less easy to follow this..

But the core of Panoplie was there, and worked it out perfectly!

And, most important, need to thank the public: not only a record in numbers, but also a really nice and hot crowd..

Your passion has even been stronger than.. the need of air!!

Think (and hope) I didn't forget anybody.. did I?

Don't know how many people asked me already not to stop here..

Never say never, but.. this time, I really think we have written the final chapter of this story.

Won't start repeating all the reasons, you probably know the whole story.. moreover, isn't it better to turn the page on the biggest success?

Anyway, you can be sure of one thing: even after Panoplie, good Italian music won't stop finding its way to Luxembourg!

Sentieri Sonori goes on with its weekly 90 minutes, and a few ideas are already buzzing.. but it's not the time to talk about that.

Thank you all for this night, and also thanks to all the people involved in all the other nights: more than 50, in 7 years of Panoplie.

Robert Weis started this crazy project which has meant so much to me over these years..

Met hundreds of people, artists, technicians, managers.. beyond music, an incredible human experience, and so many real friendships born.

It has needed time, energies.. but emotions are priceless.

Thank you all, again.

Viva Panoplie!!

Daje

24 hours to PIN VI !!

Ready? I can't wait!!

Sorry, I would have loved to post more, about this event, which means a lot to me..
Unfortunately, time flies, especially when you are this busy..

Anyway, everything should be ready, and the bands should be on their way to Luxembourg in a few hours..
Arranging the last details, then trying to rest a bit before getting ready for this (hopefully) big night!!


Let me just remind you why you really shouldn't miss this..

First good reason: A CLASSIC EDUCATION




Second good reason: CALIBRO 35





If you add two DJ-sets (pre-show by the great Kustonbeater, after-show by Moostash) and a free buffet of Italian food..
How could you miss this??

CYA @ PIN VI!!

PANOPLIE ITALIAN NIGHTS ARE BACK!!

                                                                               

Calibro 35 & A Classic Education

September 14th @ d:qliq

Panoplie asbl called it quits last year, but lots of people were asking for more Italian indie live in Luxembourg.. and, what's more, one of them was Francesco Neri (Direttore of the Istituto Italiano di Cultura) who granted us his support, which we thank IIC for.

As a result, Panoplie Italian Nights are back: just one night, at least this year, but two great bands!!

Headliners of the night, the great Calibro 35!!

They are a band with a strong link to Luxembourg: their first show ever was a Panoplie event at d:qliq, and since then they have come back a few times, always with a huge success of public.

Calibro 35 is a project created in 2008 to reinterpret the music of Italian soundtracks, trying to make them personal but at the same time staying faithful and respectful to the art of the Maestri.

Over the last four years after, through 4 releases (3 albums and a collection) including more original tracks, a few soundtracks (even a song for Hollywood blockbuster R.E.D.) and an incredible number of gigs (in Italy, Europe and U.S.A.) they have grown bigger and bigger.. and now they’re back!!

To open the night, A Classic Education, new Italian band of 2011 for Sentieri Sonori (Radio ARA).

Based in Bologna, they formed in 2007 and, after two EPs and one single, they released in October 2011 their debut album (Call It Blazing) with California label Lefse.

Their music is a mix of dreamy guitars, sixties melodies, psych-pop, garage and classic songwriting.

In 2009 and 2010, the band played at SXSW in Austin, Texas and at the CMJ festival in New York, and were picked by Spin Magazine and Pitchfork as one of the top bands to watch.

They participated in the 2011 Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona, playing on Saturday 28th May. Last year, they completed their first tour of North America supporting English band British Sea Power: a second followed this year, for nearly two months, with big success.

As usual, Panoplie Italian Nights include a free buffet of Italian food, and this year not just one but two DJ-sets: Kustonbeater to open the night, Moostash to close it.
