  • COMUNICATO STAMPA NR. 07 a Gordevio Una Tre Giorninel Segno
    Avegno, 25 luglio 2021 COMUNICATO STAMPA NR. 07 Le foto delle serate si trovano al seguente link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zwqce6h9fgktaxf/AACXZsvVoCAenY4jUB3C27SWa?dl=0 A Gordevio una tre giorni nel segno del Flower Power e dei mitici anni ’70. Per quanto riguarda la qualità delle proposte musicali il Vallemaggia Magic Blues ha mantenuto tutte le promesse della vigilia, anzi con qualcosina in più. Ora spazio alla tre giorni di Gordevio, quasi tutta nel segno del Flower Power e dei mitici anni ’70: “50 years - From Flower Power to Hard Rock”. Sul campetto aleggeranno gli spiriti di Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon e dei Thin Lizzy. La prima serata, “Let's celebrate John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix“ prevede un doveroso omaggio a John Lennon (a 41 anni dalla morte, a Jimi Hendrix (che ci ha lasciati 51 anni fa). Gli Instant Karma sono la prima John Lennon Tribute Band in Svizzera, nata a Lugano e attiva da tempo non solo in Ticino, ma anche nel resto della Svizzera e nella vicina penisola. Spesso si pensa a John Lennon come leader dei Beatles o come autore di grandi pezzi ormai ritenuti dei classici, come Imagine, Woman o Jealous Guy. L’intendo della band è invece quello di riproporre ad un vasto pubblico il repertorio di un artista poliedrico, che spazia attraverso vari generi e decenni. Così gli Instant Karma partono dai brani del Lennon solista, passando attraverso pezzi degli ultimi Beatles, energici e graffianti come Come together, per poi rendere omaggio al Rock’n’Roll degli anni 50, una delle grandi passioni di Lennon.

  • Mötley Crüe Successfully Moves for Dismissal of Suit Involving Copyright in “Too Fast for Love” Album Artwork
    Mötley Crüe Successfully Moves for Dismissal of Suit Involving Copyright in “Too Fast for Love” Album Artwork October 15, 2012 by Jeffrey A. Wakolbinger On October 9, 2012, Judge Grady, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, dismissed a copyright-infringement action against rock band Mötley Crüe for lack of personal jurisdiction.1 The suit was brought by Ron Toma, who owns copyrights in certain photographs of band members Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Mick Mars, and Tommy Lee. One of those photographs was a close up of singer Vince Neil’s waist area, featuring a prominent studded belt buckle (the “Belt Buckle Image”). The photograph was taken by Michael Pinter in 1981 and used as the cover artwork for Mötley Crüe’s debut album, “Too Fast for Love.” Toma acquired the copyright in that image in 2008 through assignment. In September 2011, he filed a complaint in the Northern District of Illinois 1 Toma v. Motley Crue, Inc., No. 11 C 6766 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 9, 2012). These materials have been prepared by Pattishall, McAuliffe, Newbury, Hilliard & Geraldson LLP for general informational purposes only. They are not legal advice. They are not intended to create, and their receipt by you does not create, an attorney-client relationship. against Motley Crue, Inc., alleging that the defendants infringed his copyright in the Belt Buckle Image by projecting it on screen during live performances. He later amended the complaint to add the band’s touring company, Red White & Crue, Inc, as a defendant. The only specific example of alleged infringement in the complaint is a link to a YouTube video showing live footage from a concert in Las Vegas, during which the Belt Buckle Image was displayed on a screen while the band performed the title track of the album.

  • Featured Writer... VHS Or BETA with This One," Admits Craig
    3rd Quarter • 2011 The album juxtaposes more straightforward dance floor tracks like the jittery "Watch Out" with experimental fare such as "Jellybean," a trippy excursion pitched somewhere between Pink Floyd and the dark side of Italo-disco, and partially inspired by the records they heard spun in the backroom of Tandem, a favorite bar in their new neighborhood. Indeed, themes of duality permeate the record. While the grooves of Diamonds & Death are among the bands most optimistic and propulsive to date, it is no accident that they are often paired with dark lyrics, as on the crisp, percolating single "Breaking Bones." "That's something I always loved about the Smiths," explains Craig of this artistic choice. "You had this supremely uplifting pop music, with this somber message, being told in a very interesting way, by a beautiful voice." Even the making of the record was punctuated by contrasts; as excited as the guys were by their move to New York, Craig initially found himself bested by writer's block while working on lyrics. A few songs began life in Louisville—most notably "I Found A Reason," an uplifting, piano-driven number with echoes of Inner City's 1988 classic "Good Life" and big group vocals a la Chic—but the majority of the album was written and recorded after Craig and Mark had settled into Brooklyn. Yet even as the pair crafted tunes suitable for club play, they retained their trademark pop sensibili- ties. Selections like the title tune and "All Summer in a Day" are still anchored by concise melodic hooks—even if they aren't necessarily found in the most obvious places—and fleshed out with dynamic, unpredictable arrangements.
