!!!! [PIAS] NITES 2012 !!!!
Two scenes, two days, two moods: the [PIAS] Nites play it both ways and plan to change the entire atmosphere from a night to another.
With a complete transformation of the concert’s spaces, [PIAS] Nites promise to be intimate and cozy the first night, up to the talents and revelations of the future who will share this historic anniversary with us.
Friday, the atmosphere will get electric! The evening augurs a monumental party (we don’t get 30 years old every day!) thanks to the exclusive presence of M83, and more particularly with the one of 2manydjs who will perform their unique “Under Covers” show!

The Hickey Underworld
The launch of their own line of perfume, contraction of freaky ear diseases, an adult website and some extensive plastic surgery, The Hickey Underworld has been very busy since their debut album came out almost 3 years ago. It even looked like there was not going to be another album, but guess what? There is! Crazy! Awesome! Wack!
It’s called ‘I’m Under The House, I’m Dying’. Produced by Das Pop, mixed by Dave Sardy. It’s got flutes on it and shit.

Little Trouble Kids
Barely a year and a half after their fierce debut and having gained tons of experience live, crazy noise-pop duo Little Trouble Kids now delivers a new album: ‘Adventureland’.
The live-energy is just as intense, the line-up is unchanged – one guitar, one stomp box and two harmonious voices – but the sound and songs are grander, harder and better!

[PIAS] Nites 2012 – THREE NEW ACTS CONFIRMED

[PIAS] never fails to surprise you: 3 names have been added to the bill for the [PIAS] Nites 2012!
We are proud at [PIAS] to announce you that Tom Smith (Editors), Joan As Police Woman and Oscar & The Wolf have been confirmed on February 16th @ Tour&Taxis.
TOM SMITH Part time Funny Looking Angel but mainly the charismatic frontman from EDITORS, who recently surprised us all with a Christmas album. In 2012 the band will start work on the follow-up to their platinum-selling album ‘In This Light And On This Evening’. With #1 hits like ‘Papillon’ and ‘No Sound But The Wind’ EDITORS is one of the biggest recent [PIAS] success stories. Reason enough for us to invite Tom Smith to [PIAS] 30th anniversary celebration, for a very exclusive, one-off solo performance. Be prepared for stripped down, beautiful renditions of ‘And End Has A Start’, ‘Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors’ and many more.
JOAN AS POLICE WOMAN: a birthday party isn’t really complete without a run-in with the law! That is why adding New York-based singer-songwriter Joan Wasser, a.k.a. Joan As Police Woman, to the bill was a given for us. Her third album ‘The Deep Field’ was a huge success earlier this year – indie-Motown at its very best! Swinging, touching and beautifully arranged. Do not sleep!
OSCAR & THE WOLF: This very recent signing to our label is, in our opinion, one of the most promising Belgian bands of 2012! This Ghent-based band has made its mark in Brussels already, has toured around Europe and opened for bands like Warpaint and Mercury Rev. Their first album will be released in 2012.
GET YOUR TICKET NOW: HERE… AND BE READY TO DISCOVER OUR SURPRISE ACT ON CHRISTMAS EVE!

Daan: winnaar van Vlaamse Cultuurprijs

DAAN winnaar van de Vlaamse culttuurprijs voor muziek 2010-2011
Daan kreeg de jaarlijkse prijs uitgereikt door Vlaams minister van Cultuur Joke Schauvliege in de Brusselse Ancienne Belgique tijdens de tiende editie van Muzikantendag.
De jury roemde Daan als ‘een artistieke duizendpoot waar je de voorbije jaren niet omheen kon’, een kameleon die zichzelf blijft heruitvinden, ‘van avant-garde of jazz, over stuwende disco en hete electro, tot pure pop of catchy chanson in de beste country- of croonertraditie’. Het feit dat Daan alle aspecten van het ‘artiest’ zijn wil beheersen, van componeren over vertolken tot het ontwerpen van artwork, zette de keuze van de jury kracht bij.
In mei van dit jaar beleefde de SIMPLE tournee, waarbij Daan samen met Isolde Lasoen en Jean Francois Assy akoestische versies uit zijn omvangrijke repertoire bracht, zijn apotheose in het Brusselse Flagey gebouw. Dit concert is nu uitgebracht als DVD + CD pakket met als klinkende titel ‘CONCERT’.
De laatste kans om DAAN in ‘Simple’ bezetting mee te maken is op 17/12 in het Koninklijk Circus te Brussel.
Elektropedia awards 2011

We are proud here at [PIAS] for our contribution to Elektropedia Awards 2011 Winners.

The awards have been handed just before the start of I Love Techno 2011 this Saturday in Ghent.
RESPECT!!
