ON THE RISE

IMPERIAL JADE is a bluesy hard rock band born in Maresme (Barcelona) in 2012. The band was founded by five friends loving thundering classic rock tinged with crafty organic 70s psychedelia : Francesc Lopez (Drums), Alex Panero (guitar), Arnau Ventura (vocals), Hugo Nubiola (guitar/keyboard), and Ricard Turro (bass). They released their first record Please Welcome Imperial Jade in November 2015, a bombastic rock album that was acclaimed in all press, securing top positions on best releases of the year lists. Throughout 2016 IMPERIAL JADE toured Spain introducing the debut album to the masses playing numerous gigs all over. Those shows lead them to open for RIVAL SONS and EUROPE among other popular artists such as TEN YEARS AFTER and MICHAEL MONROE. IMPERIAL JADE appeared for the first time live on TV at Los conciertos de Radio 3 of TVE (Spanish TV channel), also playing in the main stage of Rock Fest BCN sharing stages with bands like AEROSMITH, DE(EP) PURPLE, AIRBOURNE and ALICE COO
