PRESSEMITTEILUNG 05.03.2018 Lily Allen Im April in Deutschland FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 05.03.2018 Lily Allen im April in Deutschland Lily Allen ist zurück. Seit sie im Dezember – aufgrund eines Leaks etwas vorgezogen – ihre erste Single seit drei Jahren veröffentlicht hat, stehen ihre Fans Kopf. „Trigger Bang“, aufgenommen gemeinsam mit dem britischen Rapper Giggs, ist ein absoluter Ohrwurm. Gleichzeitig kündigte die Londonerin an, dass ihr viertes Studioalbum mit dem Titel „No Shame“ im Frühsommer erscheinen soll. Auf der Platte setzt sie sich, wenn man ihren Interview- Aussagen folgt, intensiv mit sich selbst auseinander, mit ihrer Scheidung, dem Verhältnis zu ihren Kindern, dem Missbrauch bestimmter und nicht immer ganz legaler Substanzen. Kein Thema wird ausgelassen. Aber offen war Lily Allen ja schon immer. No Shame eben. Lang erwartet geht jetzt endlich ihre musikalische Karriere in die nächste Runde. Die Multi-Platin-Künstlerin hat ja in der Vergangenheit alles abgeräumt, was es abzuräumen gibt: Da stehen drei Singles und zwei Alben auf Platz eins der UK-Charts zu Buche (mit dem entsprechenden weltweiten Gold- und Platinstatus), viele Millionen physisch verkaufter Platten und digitaler Downloads. Sie holte den BRIT und gleich mehrfach den NME Award. Zuletzt veredelte sie den Song „Cigarettes & Cush“ von Stormzys (ebenfalls BRIT-Award-gekröntem) Erfolgsalbum „Gang Signs & Prayer“. Mit den neuen Songs kommt Lily Allen auch zurück auf die Bühne. Sie, die sowieso eine der cleversten Entertainerinnen unserer Zeit ist, die mit ihrer vielfach gebrochenen Figur, expliziten Lyrics und viel Humor in die Charts gebracht hat, ist auf der Bühne immer eine Bank. Durchchoreografierte Auftritte sind nichts für die Engländerin, stattdessen liefert sie eine Energie geladene Show, erzählt aus ihrem Leben und heizt dem Publikum ordentlich ein. Im April kommt sie endlich wieder für zwei exklusive Auftritte nach Deutschland. 05.04.2018 Hamburg - Knust 06.04.2018 Berlin - Lido Tickets für die Shows gibt es ab Freitag, den 9. März 2018, 9 Uhr für 26,00 Euro zzgl. Gebühren an allen bekannten CTS–VVK-Stellen sowie unter der Hotline 01806 – 853653 (0,20 €/Anruf aus dem Festnetz, Mobilfunk max. 0,60 €/Anruf), auf fkpscorpio.com und eventim.de.

  • Abstract Keywords
    51 Clair TAYLOR and A. R. WOOLLOCK Abstract In the UK, accent and speech style are particularly strong markers of social identity and class status, and British vocal performers are judged (on factors including likability, relatability, and authenticity) by the way they sing and speak. Lily Allen, a divisive figure in British popular music associated with a chav (white underclass) persona, embodies the complexities of modern Britain through her lyrics, accent, dress, and other style choices. Through analysis of the language used in her songs, this paper sets out to critically examine Allen as a cultural artefact and to explore not only her cultural representation, but perhaps more importantly, her reading. Keywords: Chav, British cultural representations, class identity, accent. [email protected] 52 Taylor, Clair and Woolock, Andrew R. The loved and loathed British singer-songwriter Lily Allen has, in accordance with the various style choices she has made, been identified as a “chav”. The word chav, used predominantly as a descriptor for young people, is a “ubiquitous term of abuse for the white poor” (Tyler, 2008), who are characterised by: unemployment, benefit claiming, laziness, smoking, drinking, obesity, promiscuity, criminality, low levels of articulacy, certain linguistic features, and a particular ‘look’ (trainers, sportswear, ponytails, tattoos, gold jewellery, Burberry) (Savage et al., 2015; Jones, 2016; Tyler, 2008). Arising around 2003, the pejorative was widely used in the media, on TV, and in public discourse for the following decade, and is still in use today. Allen’s accent or linguistic style has been the focus of much attention and criticism in that it has features of the speech patterns of the urban underclass, despite her (arguably) privileged background, drawing accusations of fakery.

  • THE HAND of GOD by Paul Knauer
    THE HAND OF GOD by Paul Knauer 913/203-7695 [email protected] FADE IN: EXT. STREAM - NIGHT A LARGE SPLASH, an explosion of sorts, as an ELECTRIC CHAIR lands hard in the middle of a country stream, dropped from the stormy sky above. The chair sits upright in the rushing water, partially submerged and mangled, but surprisingly complete. A MAN, a prisoner, lies motionless, half in the chair, half in the water. His right arm remains strapped tight to the bent arm of the chair. On his forearm there’s a SYMBOL. Not just a scar, or a tattoo. It’s unique — a combination of both, raised but darkened. The form: a tapered line with two thick hash marks. The man bolts upright, gasps for breath. We’ll call him LEVI for now. Late 30s, worn and scarred. He’s hardened, but more than anything, he’s weary. He pulls himself up, slumps onto the seat of the chair. The world around him is beat to shit, just like he is. Trees stand naked, stripped of their leaves. Debris litters the area. The path of destruction is wide. Levi is unimpressed. He casually splashes a little water on his face, takes a sip. Levi winces with pain as he tugs at the leather strap binding his arm to the chair. A small padlock holds it in place. He looks to the sky, contempt in his eyes. A fist-sized stone, alone on the muddy bank, catches Levi’s eye. He grabs the chair and, eyeing the stone, slowly drags the heavy chair to the water’s edge.
