  • STONE SOUR 29. November 2012 Ludwigsburg Arena Ludwigsburg
    STONE SOUR 29. November 2012 Ludwigsburg Arena Ludwigsburg Special Guest: PAPA ROACH Mit STONE SOUR und PAPA ROACH besuchen gleich zwei Speerspitzen des US- amerikanischen Rockzirkus die deutschen Clubs, um an fünf Abenden die Wände zum Wackeln zu bringen. Beide Formationen bringen zu ihrer Tournee im November/Dezember ein neues Album mit: PAPA ROACH veröffentlichen Anfang Oktober ihr siebtes Album „The Connection“, mit dem sie ihren bislang mehr als 15 Millionen verkauften Alben viele weitere hinzu fügen werden. STONE SOUR, die Band um Slipknot-Sänger Corey Taylor, planen sogar eine Doppelveröffentlichung: der erste Teil ihres neuen Konzeptalbums „House of Gold and Bones“ ist ebenfalls für Oktober angekündigt, der zweite Teil folgt sodann im Frühjahr 2013. Zwischen dem 29. November und dem 6. Dezember stellen beide Bands diese neuen Songs im Rahmen von fünf Shows in Ludwigsburg, München, Offenbach, Berlin und Oberhausen dem deutschen Publikum vor. PAPA ROACH entstanden mitten in der aufkeimenden NuMetal-Welle Mitte der 90er-Jahre. Geschult im Crossover, bot die Band von Anfang an einen aufregenden Mix zwischen Metal, Alternative, Post Grunge, Hard Rock und toughen Raps an, der für die damalige Szene recht neu war. Nach einem Achtungserfolg ihres Debütalbums „Old Friends From Young Years“ gelang ihnen mit dem 2000 veröffentlichten, zweiten Album „Infest“ der internationale Durchbruch. Allein in den USA erhielt das Werk dreifach Platin und stieg auch in Deutschland in die Top 5 der Albumcharts. Mit den Folgewerken „Lovehatetragedy“ (2002) und „Getting Away With Murder“ (2004) manifestierten sie ihre internationalen Erfolge. Seit ihrem fünften Album „The Paramour Sessions“ von 2006 wandelte sich der Stil von Jacoby Shaddix (Gesang), Jerry Horton (Gitarre), Tobin Esperance (Bass) und Dave Bruckner (Drums): Die Raps verschwanden, der Sound tendierte stärker Richtung Alternative Rock und ließ die Metal-Elemente langsam verschwinden.

    NOSTALGIA, EMOTIONALITY, AND ETHNO-REGIONALISM IN PONTIC PARAKATHI SINGING BY IOANNIS TSEKOURAS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Donna A. Buchanan, Chair Professor Emeritus Thomas Turino Professor Gabriel Solis Professor Maria Todorova ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the multilayered connections between music, emotionality, social and cultural belonging, collective memory, and identity discourse. The ethnographic case study for the examination of all these relations and aspects is the Pontic muhabeti or parakathi. Parakathi refers to a practice of socialization and music making that is designated insider Pontic Greek. It concerns primarily Pontic Greeks or Pontians, the descendants of the 1922 refugees from Black Sea Turkey (Gr. Pontos), and their identity discourse of ethno-regionalism. Parakathi references nightlong sessions of friendly socialization, social drinking, and dialogical participatory singing that take place informally in coffee houses, taverns, and households. Parakathi performances are reputed for their strong Pontic aesthetics, traditional character, rich and aesthetically refined repertoire, and intense emotionality. Singing in parakathi performances emerges spontaneously from verbal socialization and emotional saturation. Singing is described as a confessional expression of deeply personal feelings

  • Pressemitteilung Zu Papa Roach & Hollywood Undead
    Pressemitteilung zu Papa Roach & Hollywood Undead Papa Roach kündigen Europatour mit Hollywood Undead an: Am 17.03.2020 sind die beiden Bands in der Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg live zu erleben Hamburg, Oktober 2019 – Papa Roach haben zu feiern, und das tun sie im Frühjahr auf Tour in Deutschland: Ihr aktuelles Album „Who Do You Trust?“ zeigt die Kalifornier so kreativ grenzenlos wie nie, zudem wird das legendäre Debüt „Infest“ 20 Jahre alt. Im Frühjahr 2020 stehen sieben Termine auf dem Plan. Am 17.03.2020 kommt die Band in die Barclaycard Arena nach Hamburg. Mit dabei: die Rock-Rap-Metalheads Hollywood Undead. Viel hat sich getan, seit Papa Roach im Jahr 2000 mit Macht über die internationale Rockszene hereingebrochen sind: Damals schaffte die Band bereits mit dem Majorlabel- Debüt „Infest“ den platinveredelten Durchbruch, Songs wie „Last Resort“ und „Broken Home“ wurden zu Klassikern und zum Soundtrack einer Ära. Seitdem sind Papa Roach nie stilistisch stehen geblieben: Ihr aktuelles und inzwischen zehntes Werk „Who Do You Trust?“ zeigt die Gruppe um Sänger Jacoby Shaddix und Gitarrist Jerry Horton von ihrer facettenreichen Seite, ob hart rockend, unverschämt eingängig, experimentell wagemutig oder gar elektronisch. Die deutschen Fans honorierten das mit einem vierten Platz in den Charts. Für die anstehenden Konzerte verspricht der Frontmann eine gelungene Mischung aus allem: „Wir werden zu gleichen Teilen einen Blick in unsere Vergangenheit werfen, aber auch das aktuelle Material wird nicht zu kurz kommen. Zurzeit spielen wir etwa fünf oder sechs der neuen Songs live. Das sorgt für eine ziemlich abwechslungsreiche Rockshow!“ Und Papa Roach können das Feuer einer packenden Liveshow immer wieder entfachen.
