Name of student: Claudia Gielis MA Thesis Advisor: Dr. M. Roza MA Thesis 2nd reader: Prof. Dr. F. Mehring Gielis /2 ENGELSE TAAL EN CULTUUR Teacher who will receive this document: Dr. M. Roza and Prof. Dr. F. Mehring Title of document: It’s Not a Fashion Statement. An exploration of Masculinity and Femininity in Contemporary Emo Music. Name of course: MA Thesis North American Studies Date of submission: 15 August 2018 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: Claudia Gielis Gielis /3 Abstract Masculinity and femininity can be performed in many ways. The emo genre explores a variety of ways in which gender can be performed. Theories on gender, masculinity and femininity will be used to analyze both the lyrics and the music videos of these two bands, indicating how they perform gender lyrically and visually. Likewise a short introduction on emo music will be given, to gain a better understanding of the genre and the subculture. It will become clear that the emo subculture allows for men and women to explore their own identity. This is reflected in the music associated to the emo genre as well as their visual representation in their music videos. This essay will explore how both a male fronted band, My Chemical Romance, and a female fronted band, Paramore, perform gender. All studio albums and official music videos will be used to investigate how they have performed gender throughout their career.

    FUGAZi "First Demo" dischord rEcords DIS181 DIS181CD 11-song CD DIS181V 11-song LP+MP3 Release Date: November 18, 2014 Ian MacKaye - vocals, guitar Guy Picciotto - vocals Joe Lally - bass Brendan Canty - drums In early January 1988 and after only ten shows, Fugazi decided to go into Inner Ear Studio to see what their music sounded like on tape. Despite the fact that Ian, Joe, and Brendan had been playing together for nearly a year, it was still early days for the band. Guy had only been a full member of Fugazi for a few months and only sang lead on one song ("Break In"). It would be nearly another year before he would start playing guitar with the band. At that time, the studio was still located in the basement of engineer Don Zientara's family house. It was a familiar space as almost all of the members of Fugazi had recorded there with their previous bands (Teen Idles, Minor Threat, Deadline, Insurrection, Rites of Spring, Skewbald, Embrace, and One Last Wish). Joey Picuri (aka Joey P), who would later become one of Fugazi's longtime sound engineers, joined the band for the initial tracking. The sessions only lasted a couple of days, but tour dates and indecision about the tape would delay the final mix for another two months. Though the band was at first pleased with the results, it soon became clear that this tape would remain a demo as new songs were being written and the older songs were evolving and changing shape while the band was out on tour.

Davis: And I’m John Davis. I’m the performing arts metadata archivist at the University of Maryland. Today is June 13th, 2017. So, we're here to talk about your work that you did with fanzines in Washington D.C., particularly in the… Sayenga: My juvenilia, yes. Davis: Yes, [laugh] in the 1980s. I’m basically trying to speak to people to hear their stories about why they did zines, how they did zines. What were the experiences like? What did they take from it? You today, how do you connect to it? All these things. I’m just kind of trying to review that with some people who have done fanzines, who are from D.C. and just see kind of where it took them, as well as how they did it. So as far as Greed goes, first issue was I think 1985? Let’s consult. Sayenga: Good question. I’m going to look it up here. Let’s see. Oh, there’s a picture of—man, late Winter 1986. [laugh] Davis: OK. Very specific. Sayenga: So basically probably almost 1987, which makes it—no, ’86 is right though, because I know it took a while to actually pull it all together. So, well, sort of relatively—it seemed like a while at the time, because everything seemed to take forever. But actually when you look at it, it all flowed together with amazing speed.

  • This Ain't a Scene, It's a Buzzer Race.Pdf
    This Ain’t a Scene, It’s a Buzzer Race Sadboys are temporary. Sad trumpets are forever. Written by Brian Luong Tossups: 1. This band’s extensive and impressive merchandise catalogue can be attributed to guitarist Nick Steinhardt’s side occupation as a graphic designer. A live EP following this band’s sophomore studio album was titled Live on BBC Radio 1 and featured vocals from Jordan Dreyer of La Dispute. It’s not Red Hot Chili Peppers, but this band’s distinct asterisk-shaped logo was meant to evoke converging road markings leading to a sunset, and was first used in promotional artwork for the band’s second album, with that album’s initials “PTSBBAM” arranged in the negative spaces of the logo. This band’s 2016 single “Palm Dreams” was described by their frontman as a song about his inability to ask his mother about why she moved to California after she passed. The album from which that single is taken, as a whole, deals with themes of frontman Jeremy Bolm grieving the loss of his mother due to cancer. For 10 points, give the name of this Los Angeles-based post-hardcore band, which you may know from the albums Parting the Sea Between Brightness and Me and Stage Four. ANSWER: Touché Amoré 2. This website once hosted a stand-up and sketch comedy tour titled All Comics Are Bastards. This website’s sister site was also responsible for the creation and management of the Twitter account of Ace Watkins, whose bio reads, “The only Gamer running for President of the United States”.

  • BRENT GREEN /A BRIEF SPARK BOOKENDED by DARKNESS W
    BRENT GREEN / A BRIEF SPARK BOOKENDED BY DARKNESS w/ The Messthetics CONTACT: Thomas O. Kriegsmann, President E [email protected] T 917.386.5468 www.arktype.org ABOUT A BRIEF SPARK BOOKENDED BY DARKNESS A wholly unique live cinema experiment live cinema conceived and illustrated by acclaimed filmmaker, mu- sician and author Brent Green, the work features live music by The Messthetics (Brendan Canty and Joe Lally of Fugazi with guitarist Anthony Pirog) and includes several short film works all narrated live with addition- al musical accompaniment. The full length evening of work includes A Brief Spark Bookended by Darkness, Carlin, Paulina Hollers, Hadacol Christmas and Strange Fates, along with Green’s own commentary and unfurl- ing rapport with the audience that defines the unique, localized experience of every engagement. A Brief Spark Bookended by Darkness is characterized by Green’s spindly drawing style and moving musical score guided by spoken lyrics in the artist’s inimitable, quivering voice. The story he recounts is caught up in despair and apprehension – as he seeks comfort by losing himself in his love of another. The world that Green presents is so intimate as to verge on the claustrophobic, a startling carnival set-up in a cramped bedroom. Though made to appear damaged and from another era, everything about A Brief Spark is calculated, consid- ered and timed to affect. All of this poignantly represents Green’s themes of deep and desperate love, in a world that is endlessly on the verge of calamity. 2 3 4 TOUR & PRODUCTION AVAILABILITY 2019-20 WORLDWIDE OPEN Production: Cinematic Video Projection Space: Black Box / Proscenium Band /Vocal Amplification Tour Personnel: 4 Performers Backline 1 Tech / Company Management Schedule: Same Day Load-in / Tech / Perform 5 COMPANY BIOGRAPHIES Working on his farm outside of New Paltz, NY, Brent urgent and inspired, and the portraits of musicians and Green is a self-taught visual artist and filmmaker.
