The Futureheads, News and Tributes | Nouse

Nouse Web Archives The Futureheads, News and Tributes Page 1 of 2 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Music › News Features Reviews Playlists The Futureheads, News and Tributes Thursday 4 May 2006 The difficult second album. So often a failure for many bands, but what of Sunderland’s finest? This offering takes a much darker tack than their self titled debut, echoing the punk rhythms and socially concious lyrics of The Clash and The Jam. They have also learned from the success of ‘Hounds of Love’, expanding on the successful backing harmonies throughout. Fans of the songs ‘A to B’ or ‘Hounds of Love’ may be disappointed here. Although ‘Favours for Favours’, ‘To the Sea’ and ‘Skip to the End’ are standout tracks, they don’t quite share the same anthemic resonance or catchiness. Several songs indicate a change in style without losing the distinctive Futureheads mark. This is most obvious in ‘Thursday’, which oddly echoes the intro to the Beach Boys’ classic ‘Wouldn’t it be Nice’. The bass driven ‘Burnt’ channels the Pixies’ loud/quiet sound in The Futureheads’ own unique way. Nonetheless, it doesn’t pulsate with raw passion in the same way as The Futureheads did and, although the new ideas are interesting, sometimes they fall short. The closing track ‘Face’ starts promisingly, ends abruptly and feels like an injustice, closing an unsatisfacory album in an unsatisfactory manner.

Futureheads Announced As First Summer Ball Headliner | Nouse
Nouse Web Archives Futureheads announced as first Summer Ball headliner Page 1 of 3 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Futureheads announced as first Summer Ball headliner By Harry Gallivan, Managing Director (2013/14) Wednesday 15 May 2013 The Futureheads YUSU have announced post-punk band The Futureheads as the first leading act for the 2013 Summer Ball at York Racecourse. Kallum Taylor, YUSU President, confirmed the act this afternoon. The Sunderland-born band has performed at prestigious venues such as Glastonbury in 2005 and the biggest open-air festival in Europe, Woodstock, with 300,000 people attending in 2009. Their latest 2012 album, Rant, marked a radical departure for the band. Featuring no musical instruments at all, it consisted entirely of a cappella covers, including covers of Black Eye Peas’ ‘Meet me Halfway’ and Kelis’ ‘Acapella’. In a 2011 interview, lead singer Barry Hyde said; “We were partly inspired by [80s a cappella group] The Flying Pickets. They were great singers but their tracks were a bit asexual sounding. We want this to be more rough.” The album was nominated for Artrocker’s ‘Album of the Year’ award in 2012, and was rated 8/10 by NME. In 2005, their cover of Kate Bush’s song, ‘Hounds of Love’, reached number 8 in the charts and was named best single by NME. The band has also accompanied The Foo Fighters and Snow Patrol during their stage sets. More announcements. including the biggest act of the night, will be announced in the coming weeks. The 2013 ball is expected to be an exciting event following on from last year’s headline acts, Feeder and Stooshe.

“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.

1 Unfolding Theatre the Making of PUTTING THE
Unfolding Theatre The Making of PUTTING THE BAND BACK TOGETHER (2016) This LMYE Laboratory sees a trio of interlocutors – Annie Rigby and Alex Elliott of Unfolding Theatre and their collaborator, musician Ross Millard of The Futureheads – grant insight into how they made their powerful and ambitious 2016 performance Putting the Band Back Together. The performance departs from a simple question, but one that has a weight in the biography of many: ‘Why did the band drift apart?’ Rigby details how this question, plucked from her own past, led her to embark onto a fascinating, deep and wide-reaching project, which conjugates communities across theatre- and music-making but which above all creates a larger community within and beyond the time and space in which the performance takes place. In this documentary, made up of clips from the show and memories of moments and encounters, Elliott, Rigby and Millard generously talk through the project’s initial sketches, crystallisation and realisation: from a desire to investigate this widespread nostalgia, to the choice of focusing on the story of mutual friend, theatre-maker Mark Lloyd and his wish to reform his old band having received a terminal cancer diagnosis, to the experience of getting into a room and jamming together. Our guests crucially focus on the piece’s afterlife: each performance forms a ‘house band’ in each location it visits on tour two hours before the show begins, and as Maddy Costa writes in her ‘zine collecting impressions from the house band: ‘Putting the Band Back Together is shaped by, energised by the invitation to take part’.

The Creative Power of a Question
“What if?” - The creative power of a question Transcript of the speech given by Darren Henley, Chief Executive of Arts Council England, at the National Glass Centre in Sunderland on 21st September 2016. Thank you for coming today, and thank you to our friends at the University of Sunderland and the National Glass Centre for hosting us. It’s been a tumultuous few months, which has left us with plenty to reflect on as a nation. So much of how we think of ourselves as a nation is shaped by our art and culture. And so, this seems like a good moment, and an important one, to think what that referendum result might mean for artists and arts organisations. I think it’s also fair to say that change, and the challenge that brings, also offers opportunities. And at this historic time, I think that events have thrown the focus on some cities, and Sunderland is one of them, that need to be thought about, and portrayed in a different light, to that which we've recently seen in the media. These cities, like Sunderland, Stoke, Hull or Coventry, may not be the first places that spring to mind when people talk about important cultural centres. But I've come to know them all well. And now, as the spotlight has been on them, I think it’s an opportune moment to highlight the extraordinary creative traditions of these cities and their people. And the way in which art and culture should work with these communities, to spark a revolution in how we think of, and use, our national creativity.
