Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Music › News Features Reviews Playlists Kate Bush: Running up that hill again? Katy Sandalls reflects on Kate Bush’s career and speculates on her first tour since 1979 Friday 21 March 2014 Photo credit: Vintage Vision “Out on the Wiley, windy moors we’d roll and fall in green.” Kate Bush has never been a conventional artist, but that has always been her trademark and the reason why her fans adore her. It is unsurprising then that she has created a buzz in the music world once again by announcing that she is to go on tour for only the second time in her career. Kate Bush has had a phenomenal amount of success during her 35-year career with hits such as ‘Babooshka’ and ‘Running Up that Hill’. She has also received a Brit award and an Ivor Novello, as well as three Grammy nominations. Last year she was awarded a CBE by the Queen. Bush’s original tour was back in 1979 at the very start of her career, following her very successful debut album The Kick Inside, which featured Bush’s most famous song ‘Wuthering Heights’. But after those six weeks she never toured again, and was very rarely seen performing live, finding her own performance on Top of the Pops embarrassing. She even turned down an opportunity to perform at the 2012 Olympic closing ceremony. So why has it taken Bush nearly 40 years to consider going on tour again? Bush’s The Tour of Life was seen as real spectacle by those who attended; full of wondrous special effects and fabulous costume changes (17 in total!). But the spectacle took its toll on Bush who was just 21 at the time. Bush has stated various reasons from exhaustion to wishing to concentrate on her family life, as well as nightmares of http://nouse.co.uk/2014/03/21/running-up-that-hill-again Archived 11 Dec 2018 07:49:03 Nouse Web Archives Kate Bush: Running up that hill again? Page 2 of 3 stage fright and a fear of flying. Yet Bush has also stated that she massively enjoyed the tour and has never ruled out a return to touring. The announcement is still a shock to her fans who have met the news with excitement managing to crash her website in hours. So what do we know about Kate’s new tour entitled Before the Dawn? She will be playing 20 dates in August and September this year in the 5000-seat Hammersmith Apollo, London; a small venue but one close to Kate’s heart as it was the venue where she finished her original tour. It’s expected to be as theatrical and dramatic like her original tour, although Bush admits that she is unlikely to be dancing. As for her set list? Well speculation has already started on which of her massive discography Kate is likely to play, with many sources noting that with such a big backlog of songs that have never been performed live she is really spoilt for choice. It goes without saying that tickets will sell out extremely quickly when they go on sale on March 28, leaving few to doubt the enduring popularity of Ms Bush and her distinctive melodies.

  • “Into the Sensual World”: Gender Subversion in the Work of Kate Bush
    “Into the Sensual World”: Gender Subversion in the Work of Kate Bush BA Thesis English Literature Supervisor: Dr U. Wilbers Semester 2 image: Sarah Neutkens, 2019 Severens 1 Engelse Taal en Cultuur Teacher who will receive this document: Dr Usha Wilbers Title of document: “Into the Sensual World”: Gender Subversion in the Work of Kate Bush Name of course: BA Thesis Course Date of submission: 14–06–2019 The work submitted here is the sole responsibility of the undersigned, who has neither committed plagiarism nor colluded in its production. Signed: Name of student: Student number: Severens 2 Abstract Kate Bush remains one of the most successful and original British female music artists and is often perceived as a female pioneer. This thesis analyses a selection of her earlier work in order to establish how she represents issues of gender and sexuality in her lyrics and performances. Her work is evaluated through the lens of two feminist theories: écriture feminine and gender performativity. Écriture féminine is employed to determine how Bush writes and reclaims female sexuality, while gender performativity subsequently shows how she transcends her position as a woman by taking on and representing characters of the opposite gender. This thesis argues that Bush constructs narratives in her lyrics to represent experiences which transcend the boundaries of binary gender and challenge social sexual norms. Keywords: Kate Bush, gender performativity, écriture féminine, song lyrics, popular music studies Severens 3 Table of Contents Abstract ...................................................................................................................................... 2 Introduction ................................................................................................................................ 4 1.

The aim, to create an authentic live experience with all of the hits, as well as some of the less well known of Kate’s songs - some of which have never actually been heard played live before. ‘Running Up That Hill’, ‘Wuthering Heights’, ‘Hounds of Love,’ ‘Babooshka’, ‘This Woman’s Work’, ‘Wow’… Cloudbusting perform all the chart hits you’d expect to hear - so those who missed out on her live shows in 1979 and indeed 2014, will love the UK’s longest running and most universally applauded tribute act to Kate. Arguably, the band isn’t a ‘tribute’ in conventional terms, as no one is pretending to be Kate or impersonate her, instead the focus is on the authenticity of the music. Testament to this is that many of Kate’s original collaborators from both stage and the studio have been inspired to join the band for performances.

Its original icons were overwhelmingly male—a pattern being subverted in both contemporary iterations of glam and the music industry as a whole. Fluid portrayals of gender, performative sexuality, camp, and vibrant, eye-catching visuals are among the most identifiable traits which signify the glam style, though science fiction also serves as a common thread between many glam stars, both past and present. The superficial linkages between artists like David Bowie, Prince, Janelle Monáe, and St. Vincent provide
