  • The Stone Roses Styl
    STYLE GUIDE 2011 The Stone Roses were an English alternative rock band formed in Manchester in 1983. They were one of the pioneering groups of the Madchester movement that was active during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The band’s most successful lineup consisted of vocalist Ian Brown, guitarist John Squire, bassist Gary “Mani” Mounfield, and drummer Alan “Reni” Wren. The band released their début album, The Stone Roses, in 1989. The album was a breakthrough success for the band. Their second album Second Coming was released in 1994. The Stone Roses was released in April 1989, initially to mixed reviews, and entered the UK Albums Chart at number 32 in mid-May, the highest position it would reach that year. This was followed with the single “She Bangs the Drums”, which gave them a top forty UK hit, and a number one on the UK In- dependent Chart, and by that point they were receiving much greater press attention and were selling out shows across the country. Later in 1989 the band released a double A-side single, “Fools Gold/What the World Is Waiting For”, which reached number eight on the UK Singles Chart in November. Originally intended as a B-side, “Fools Gold” quickly became the Roses’ most famous song and a performance of it on Top of the Pops cemented their national fame. It gave them their first top ten hit and the album rose to number nineteen in the chart early the following year. The group won four NME Readers poll awards that year; Band of the Year, Best New Band, Single of the Year (for “Fools Gold”) and Album of the Year (for their debut album).

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Stone Roses and the Resurrection of British Pop by John Robb the Stone Roses – Review
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Stone Roses And the Resurrection of British Pop by John Robb The Stone Roses – review. S o this is how you stage a resurrection. Far from the bright lights of Manchester, in the town where Ian Brown was born, the Stone Roses finally returned to the stage 16 years after their acrimonious break up. The free gig – announced at 4pm on Wednesday (fans were asked to bring proof of their loyalty to the band – official T-shirts, CD inlays – to gain entry) – drew a huge crowd to the unlikely venue of Warrington Parr Hall. They were all hoping to catch a glimpse of the band who soundtracked a generation and, with the sugar-coated guitar pop of their 1989 debut album, set the template for almost all good British guitar bands over the following two decades, from Oasis to Arctic Monkeys. If you want to know why the Stone Roses still matter, consider that their three huge shows at Manchester's Heaton Park this summer are the fastest-selling gigs in British rock history. The band have also signed a major record deal for two new albums, although tonight was not a night for debuting untested material. Instead the Roses stuck to a set of classic songs – from Made of Stone to Love Spreads – that made this an emotionally charged night. The venue made perfect sense – it was places such as this that originally made the band's reputation. The Stone Roses formed in Manchester in 1984 but it took five years of underground shows and fine-tuning to arrive at a sound that blended indie-guitar melodicism with the communal rush of the emerging acid house scene.

  • Pictures of Lily', ‘Substitute’ and ‘The Kids Are Alright’
    1984 23 October Hampstead Moonlight (anti-heroin benefit) Date: 23rd October 1984 Location: Hampstead Moonlight, London, England Supporting: Mercenary Skank, High Noon, and a secret special guest, who turned out to be Pete Townshend. Media reviews: Memories of fans: I am not the biggest fan of The Stone Roses but it turns out I was at their first ever gig. So, a mate of mine told me that I should share my story and I was pointed in your direction. So here we go. You can have this. It was the first time I saw Pete Townshend live and I was (and still am) an avid fan of The Who, but before I seen him I waited anxiously and watched the support group. Recently I found out that they were a little known group called The Stone Roses. They turned out to be the biggest band of their generation. I remember very little of their set. But I can remember them like The Cure. I remember how the singer was in charge of the stage. That was a week after I turned 17 and not only did I manage to see my hero, Pete Townshend for the first time but I managed to see, possibly the inventors of Brit-pop and saviours of British guitar rock, The Stone Roses. I saw the Stone Roses at Leicester many years later and there was a difference but more memory with the latter. I was speaking to a friend in Brussels who did have photos of The Stone Roses live at the Moonlight in 1984 but sold them around 1995 to a collector in London for £700.

  • The Impact of the Manchester Music Scene on Youth Fashion 1986 to 1996
    Loose Fit? The Impact of the Manchester Music Scene on Youth Fashion 1986 to 1996 Susan Atkin A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art and Design Manchester Metropolitan University 2016 Abstract This thesis questions the stereotype of the loose fitting silhouette of the Mancunian music scene from 1986 to 1996, exploring the links between the city’s music scene and local youth fashion. It establishes the important contribution of fashion to culture in the music scene and the distinct local “looks” that resulted. The thesis explores the literature of subculture and identity, enriched by the concepts of bricolage and local fashion. The contributory influence of the Manchester music scene is investigated in its public and private sites of creation and consumption. Combining cultural studies, dress history and fashion theory, the research is based on oral evidence in the form of active interviews, supported by analysis of contemporary images. Interviewees were pre-identified for their role in Mancunian fashion and music. These revealed previously unidentified aspects of Mancunian dress, which inform a discussion of the nature and context of local fashion in the period. Salient findings included the eloquence with which men can talk about clothes, and the sources and methods of the quest for authenticity through “looks”. The thesis repositions subculture, in the light of the shift toward more mutable groupings, and affiliations that can change with site. These formed a multi-faceted movement that was able to embrace both mainstream culture and its subversions.

The 1980s were almost over when a movement came out of Manchester that came to symbolize the hedonistic spirit of the era: "Madchester", a fusion of psychedelia, techno and pop. It was 1988 when anthems such as KLF's What Time Is Love imported acid house from the USA. The decade that had begun as the age of depressed cyberpunks was ending as the age of the wildest parties ever. Manchester's 1988 "summer of love" became a musical movement with the debut of Stone Roses (2), one of the most influential English bands of the decade. Stone Roses (1989) epitomized the fusion of hypnotic disco beats, catchy melodies, surreal arrangements, and Sixties-style naive enthusiasm. Mixing Byrds with Abba, and Hendrix with Petula Clark, and James Brown and the Mamas & Papas, songs such as I Wanna Be Adored, She Bangs The Drums and Made Of Stone bridged different languages and civilizations while setting the foundations of a new language and a new civilization.
