The rock quartet Stillico was formed in Paris in 2000, by the extravagant danish singer Chris Dahl and the hyperactive bassist Emmanuel Donès.

Very creative, they wanted to bring their many songs onstage, with amps but without playing any cover. The story of Stillico begins ten years before.

The two musicians Chris and Emmanuel know each other since 1990 and have often played together in several rockbands. Both guitarists, one started singing and the other took up the bass instead. They quickly put a grunge band together, wrote own tunes and began doing their first concerts. In 1993 a young guitarist Stéphane Montiel saw them live, and he asked Chris for some guitar teachings. The student was quite talented and Stéphane got then actually casted for joining Stillico many years later, but didn't know it at that time. All three guys played together and became friends. From 1995 on, each one of Chris and Stéphane had his own band, and Emmanuel became a very demanded bassist in other projects : he even happened to play in five bands at the same time!

After several years in France, Chris decided to go back to Denmark (1996) to form a pro rockband. Then he also began to only play acoustic. This went on for four years, Chris did a lot of live and studio, and he especially became more and more productive and wrote songs daily, plenty of songs. Same time but in France, Emmanuel and Stéphane kept their bands going with many concerts and recordings. Emmanuel is ready for Stillico (2000) when Chris comes back to France with a big song collection and an even bigger desire of reforming a real rockband. And so they do, in trio with a drummer, they record demoes and find gigs all over Paris and its area.

At last available for Stillico, the very electric Stéphane joins in on guitar (2002) and fullfills the sound that Emmanuel and Chris wanted for their band, now a quartet in shape for live situations. Chris has got less guitar to play, and can now concentrate more on his singing, as his voice is the mark of Stillico. The things speed up (2003), some Stillico songs are chosen for short movies, and the band goes on a local tv-station broadcast playing two songs in playback, just like in the old days. Needing a new drummer, Emmanuel suggests Philippe Saugère with whom he plays in a side project.

The band gets more determined and begin to organize event outside France, mostly in Eastern and Northern Europe, while they keep on playing gigs in Paris area. It's finally a cultural exchange project with hungarian rock band 30y, that becomes something. First step (2004): Chris is invited to Hungary by Alliance Française organization, for a concert in a festival. It's an original event, he plays Stillico songs with 30y, and plays guitar with them on their songs. An important radio program is done on the exchange project between the two bands, and then the "Stillico 2" cd got played several times on radio in Hungary. The next step will be a common tour in 2005.

Stillico's lyrics are in english and french, and are served along with a powerful and dancing rock music.

They sometimes happen to play as unplugged duo in a more intimate mood, just Chris and Stéphane.

Two demo-cd's ("Stillico" in 2000, "Stillico 2" in 2002 ), concerts in France and abroad, radio and TV broadcasts... and one song chosen for a movie! Actual project : finishing a 6-song EP and putting it out ( end of 2004 ).
