PLANETHARD

Planethard is a hard rock band composed by Marco Sivo (Vocal), Marco “Dandy” D’Andrea (Guitars), Alex Furia (Bass Guitars) and Steve Arrigoni (drums). Formed in 2004, after several line-up changes, the band began touring different clubs of Northern Italy, proposing a repertory composed by hard rock covers. (Bon Jovi, G’n’R, Skid Row, Motley Crue, Steelheart, etc.). In August 2004, the first band’s song, For Everything, was conceived and recorded at “Twilight Studio” in Senago (Milan). The same year, in December, Planethard finished recording a mini-CD entitled “So good”. The track list included four songs and an intro.Track-list: 1_Jam 2_Unchain my heart 3_I’ll be there 4_The fairy tale 5_ For EverythingIn May 2005 Planethard played at “Inkubo Café” in Milan for the Gotthard’s new release presentation night (“Lipservice”) including a jam session with Marc Lym and Leo Leoni, members of the memorable Swiss band. After this exhibition the band garnered some attention from the critics and the media present at the performance; the band was asked to take part in several Hard Rock mini-festivals in the most important Live Clubs of Milan such as Alcatraz, Transilvania Live, Indian’s Saloon. In the summer of the same year they played at “Venice Rock Festival” in Venice, that saw
