The Go! Team SEMICIRCLE TOUR 2018 The Go! Team SEMICIRCLE TOUR 2018 Die aus Brighton stammende Indie-Rockband THE GO! TEAM bringt zum Jahresbeginn 2018 ihr neues Album heraus. Die erste Single Semicircle sorgt in bester The Go! Team- Manier für gute Stimmung und macht einmal mehr deutlich, weshalb der Bandname nach Cheerleading klingt. Stilprägend bei der Entstehung des Albums war für Ian Parton, Kopf und kreative Mastermind der Truppe, das Bild einer School Marching Band die durchdreht. Semicircle, das klingt nach weggeworfenen Notenblättern, nach dem was das Herz gerade fühlt und jeder Menge Spaß. Zwar war das vorherige Album der Gruppe The Scene Between im Wesentlichen ein Soloprojekt, jedoch ist die Band nicht nur exklusiven Mitgliedern zugänglich. So wurde auch eine Welle bisher unentdeckter Soundcloud-Sänger aufgenommen. Das neue mittlerweile fünfte Album Semicircle beinhaltet nun außerdem den entscheidenden Input der aktuellen Live-Band Simone Odaranile (Schlagzeug) und Angela ‚Maki‘ Won-Yin Mak (Gesang), inklusive Original-Teammitglied Sam Dook (Gitarre) und Ninja (Rap). Nach einem Besuch in Detroit hatte er ein weiteres Element seiner facettenreichen Musik hinzugefügt – den Detroit Youth Choir. Dazu sagt Parton, dass das Alter des Chores entscheidend gewesen sei – weder zu jung noch zu alt. Er habe schon immer etwas übrig gehabt für Gruppengesänge, vor allem außerhalb ihres Komfortgenres. Ausgezahlt hat sich dies auf jeden Fall, wie man auf der neuen Platte hören kann. The Go! Team waren schon immer Cheereader für eine bessere Welt – der Ausguss kollektiver Freude über einen gemeinsamen Antrieb und die Begegnung verschiedener Kulturen, die zu etwas Neuen führen. Eine Band, die noch immer an die Macht der Musik glaubt, etwas zu verbessern. Gerade in heutigen Zeiten brauchen wir The Go! Team mehr denn je. Tour 2018: FR 02.03. Köln – Gebäude 9 SA 03.03. Hamburg – Nochtspeicher SO 04.03. Berlin – Bi Nuu .

  • Facing the Future with a Foot in the Past Americana, Nostalgia, and the Humanization of Musical Experience
    Facing the Future with a Foot in the Past Americana, Nostalgia, and the Humanization of Musical Experience by Christine Sarah Steinbock A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music and Culture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014 Christine Sarah Steinbock ii Abstract Facing the Future with a Foot in the Past Americana, Nostalgia, and the Humanization of Musical Experience Americana, a musical genre defined by its place in a lineage of roots music styles and a nostalgic outlook is enjoying increasing mainstream popularity in response to general societal unease about the fast pace of social change and the increasing presence of technology in everyday life. Americana artists’ invocations of the past cultivate a psychic landscape of collective memory that quells fears of change by asserting the sustained value of the past. Instead of actively resisting social and technological change Americana artists, listeners and promoters embrace technology in service of a nostalgically- motivated humanization and disintermediation of musical performance and consumption. Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings (who perform as “Gillian Welch”) and their 2011 album The Harrow & the Harvest are analyzed vis-à-vis the ways in which their musical and visual invocations of the rural past dialogue with a psychic landscape of collective memory. iii Acknowledgements I want to express my gratitude for the opportunity to study in the Music and Culture program at Carleton and the privilege of working alongside such dedicated scholars, professors and fellow students alike. I want to especially thank my supervisor, Dr.

AN ASPECT OF ALTERNATIVE MUSIC IN NEW ZEALAND 1978-1985 by Craig Robertson A Long Essay presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree in History at the University of Otago Dunedin New Zealand 1991 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As I lived in Dunedin during the period of this essay it is perhaps appropriate to acknowledge my links with this topic. I first became interested in the music of the so-called 'Dunedin Sound' bands in 1982 when as a twelve year old I bought a copy of The Clean's 'Great Sounds. Great', after having heard a track off it on Radio New Zealand's nation­ wide Top Ten. Over the next few years, going to Roy Colbert's second­ hand record shop every Friday after school, I began religiously buying every record by a Dunedin band that was released on Flying Nun.
