  • Mccartney Tickets Won't Go for Half Price
    Print this Article Page 1 of 2 CLOSE WINDOW Published: 2009-07-07 McCartney tickets won’t go for half price By AMY SMITH Staff Reporter Paul McCartney fans hoping for half-price tickets for this Saturday’s concert in Halifax are going to be out of luck, says the promoter. There were a number of deals offering two tickets for the price of one in the final days before last month’s Bon Jovi concert at Magnetic Hill in Moncton, which attracted about 33,000 fans. And before last weekend’s Virgin Festival in Halifax became a free event, promoters said those who had bought a ticket could bring a friend for free. About 10,000 showed up for that event. But Greg Cox of Power Promotional Events said Monday there were no deals in the works to buy one ticket and get one free for this concert. (His firm was not involved in either the Bon Jovi concert or Virgin Festival.) "I am not aware of anything (like that)," he said in an interview Monday. He said Coke Zero is offering two adult tickets, two tickets for children under 12 and some Coke promotional product for $250, plus service charges. The promoter said there are plenty of reasons to catch the show — Sir Paul’s only Canadian performance this year. "Paul McCartney at 67 is not likely going to make it back to Halifax again," Mr. Cox said. "There’s too many other places in the world that he’s never played that he would like to play.

  • Beck Nach Fast Sechs Jahren Mit Neuem Material US-Musiker Kündigt Für Februar Eine Neue Platte An
    Innovative und schillernde Persönlichkeit der Alternative-Szene: Beck kündigt nach fast sechs Jahren neues Material an. Beck nach fast sechs Jahren mit neuem Material US-Musiker kündigt für Februar eine neue Platte an 07. Dezember 2013, Von: Redaktion, Foto(s): Peter Hapak Der US-amerikanische Gitarrist und Sänger Beck zählt zu den besonders kreativen und schillernden Figuren der internationalen Alternative-Szene. In Deutschland schaffte Beck im Jahr 1994 mit dem Song „Loser“ aus dem im gleichen Jahr erschienen Album „Mellow Gold“ seinen Durchbruch. Für Februar 2014 kündigt Beck sein neues Album „Morning Phase“ an, das erste mit ganz neuen Songs seit „Modern Guilt“ aus dem Jahr 2008. Musik von der Stange, das war noch nie die Sache von Beck, der 1970 als David Bek Hansen geboren wurde. Beck hatte schon immer den Hang zum etwas unkonventionellem Musizieren, in seinen Song fanden sich schon in den Neunzigern Samples und Elemente aus so unterschiedlichen Genres wie Folk oder HipHop. Das galt vor rund 20 Jahren als innovativ und speziell und nicht zuletzt deshalb war der Musiker regelmäßig ausführlich behandeltes Thema in der Musikpresse. Zu seinen Album Klassikern zählt das 2002 veröffentlichte „Sea Change“ und in einer klanglich recht ähnlichen Form soll auch das neue Beck-Werk „Morning Phase“ daherkommen. Als „begleitendes Stück“ zu „Sea Change“ soll es von Experten beschrieben worden sein, die schon in das neue Material des Musikers reinhören konnten, Fans und Insidern ist damit wohl eine Orientierung geben. Viele der Musiker, die bereits vor gut elf Jahren an „Sea Change“ beteiligt waren, konnte Beck auch für die Aufnahmen von „Morining Phase“ gewinnen, darunter Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Joey Waronker, Smokey Hormel, Roger Joseph Manning Jr.
