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.
