PRESSEMITTEILUNG 13.03.2017 ZEBRAHEAD Bestätigen Neue

FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 13.03.2017 ZEBRAHEAD bestätigen neue Tourdaten Für 2017 hat sich die aktivste Punkband ihrer Generation – immerhin besteht ZEBRAHEAD seit gut 20 Jahren – vorgenommen, eine Menge Spaß zu haben, ein paar neue Songs zu schreiben, vielleicht eine Platte zu produzieren und ansonsten vor allem live die Bühnen auf der ganzen Welt in Grund und Boden zu rocken. Was bei ihnen wiederum gleichbedeutend ist mit: Spaß haben. Ob bei den Festivals im Sommer – unter anderem treten die Jungs beim Highfield und beim Chiemsee Summer auf – oder auf Clubtour: Die Punker aus dem Orange County sind das ganze Jahr über unterwegs und spielen sich, gelinde gesagt, nicht nur den Arsch, sondern nahezu alle Körperteile ab und dazu die Finger blutig. Sänger und Rapper Ali Tabatabaee, Sänger und Gitarrist Matty Lewis, Gitarrist Dan Palmer, Bassist Ben Osmundson und Schlagzeuger Ed Udhus bringen jede Crowd zum Bouncen, zum Moshen und derart zum Stagediven, dass das Equipment auf der Bühne durcheinander gewirbelt wurde wie bei einem Tornado. Machtvolle Riffs, coole Rap-Einlagen, humorvolle Coverversionen, unerwartete und spontane Show-Einfälle machen jede Halle zum wirbelnden Mahlstrom. Nicht umsonst nannte sie Watchmysound einmal „die personifizierte Party-Maschine“. Und genau die wird wieder angeworfen, wenn ZEBRAHEAD Ende April für drei Konzerte nach Deutschland kommen. Präsentiert wird die Tour von SLAM. 29.04.2017 Düsseldorf - Stone im Ratinger Hof 01.05.2017 Stuttgart - Club Cann 02.05.2017 Augsburg - Spectrum Tickets gibt es ab sofort für 19,00 Euro zzgl. Gebühren an allen bekannten CTS– VVK-Stellen sowie unter der Hotline 01806 – 853653 (0,20 €/Anruf aus dem Festnetz, Mobilfunk max. 0,60 €/Anruf), auf fkpscorpio.com und eventim.de.

BLINK 182 2014 Veranstaltungsort Westfalenhalle Einlass 18:30
19.08.2014 BLINK 182 2014 Veranstaltungsort Westfalenhalle Einlass 18:30 Beginn 20:00 Uhr Veranstalter prime entertainment GmbH Kaum eine andere Band im Musikkosmos hat einen so hohen Wiedererkennungswert wie Blink-182. Deswegen sind sie zu Recht einer der Headliner bei unserem Highfield Festival im kommenden August, nicht umsonst führen sie auch das Line-up beim renommierten Festival in Reading und Leeds an. Da freut es uns doch umso mehr, dass Blink-182 nicht nur einen weiteren Festivalauftritt im Rahmen des Hamburger Kultursommers bestätigt haben, sondern darüber hinaus – wenn man schon in Europa unterwegs ist, will man auch möglichst viele Fans glücklich machen! – noch zwei Shows in Stuttgart und Dortmund spielen werden. Selbst nach mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten Bandgeschichte – das Bandmotto lautet schließlich selbstironisch „Crappy Punk Rock Since 1992“ – fühlt man sich beim Hören egal welches Songs des Trios aus San Diego vollkommen in die gute alte Zeit mit „All The Small Things“ oder „Stay Together For The Kids“ zurückversetzt. Vollkommen weggepustet, entwurzelt und wie nach einer wilden Fahrt im Transrapid wird man vom Blink-182-Sound wieder ausgespuckt – und das glücklich und nach mehr schreiend! In den letzten zwei Jahren haben sie alle Stadien der Welt exzessiv abgegrast und begeben sich nun wieder ins Studio, um am Nachfolger der Digital-EP „Dogs Eating Dogs“ zu basteln. Und natürlich werden Blink-182 die neuen Songs auch live präsentieren, auf dem Highfield, auf dem Hamburg Crash Fest (für das natürlich in Kürze noch weitere Bands bestätigt werden) und in den Hallen. Es ist uns ein Fest mit ihnen und Euch gemeinsam steil zu gehen.

L'evoluzione Della Relazione Uroborica Fra Videogioco E Musica: Il Singolare Caso Di Transculturalità Dell'industria Videoludica Giapponese
Corso di Laurea magistrale in Economia e Gestione delle Arti e delle Attività culturali Dipartimento di Filosofia e Beni culturali Tesi di Laurea L'evoluzione della relazione uroborica fra videogioco e musica: il singolare caso di transculturalità dell'industria videoludica giapponese Relatore: Giovanni De Zorzi Correlatrice: Maria Roberta Novielli Laureando: Enrico Pittalis Numero di Matricola: 871795 Anno accademico 2018/2019 Sessione Straordinaria Ringrazio Valentina, la persona più preziosa, senza cui questo lavoro non sarebbe stato possibile. Ringrazio i miei relatori, i professori Giovanni De Zorzi e Maria Roberta Novielli, che mi hanno guidato lungo questo percorso con grande serietà. Ringrazio i miei amici per i tanti consigli, confronti e spunti di riflessione che mi hanno dato. Ringrazio il Dott. Tommaso Barbetta per avermi incoraggiato ed aiutato a trovare gli obiettivi e il Prof. Toshio Miyake per avermi suggerito dei materiali di approfondimento. Ringrazio il Prof. Marco Fedalto per avermi dato importantissimi consigli. Ringrazio i miei genitori per avermi sostenuto nelle mie scelte, anche le più stravaganti. Glossario: - Anime: termine con cui si fa riferimento alle serie televisive animate prodotte in Giappone, spesso adattamenti televisivi di romanzi brevi o manga, talvolta videogiochi. - Arcade: prestito linguistico dall’inglese, termine con cui ci si riferisce alle “Macchine da gioco”, costituita fisicamente da un videogioco posto all'interno di un cabinato di grandi dimensioni operabile a monete o gettoni, che normalmente viene posto in postazioni pubbliche come sale giochi, bar, talvolta cinema e centri commerciali. L’Etimologia è incerta, probabilmente derivante da “Arcata” facente riferimento storicamente a lunghi viali sotto i portici dei borghi, dove si trovavano le botteghe e luoghi dediti al divertimento.

A Longitudinal Content Analysis of Feminist Themes in Punk Rock
ACT LIKE A PUNK, SING LIKE A FEMINIST: A LONGITUDINAL CONTENT ANALYSIS OF FEMINIST THEMES IN PUNK ROCK SONG LYRICS, 1970-2009 Lauren E. Levine Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2015 APPROVED: Koji Fuse, Major Professor Tracy Everbach, Committee Member Gwen Nisbett, Committee Member Cory Armstrong, Chair of the Frank W. and Sue Mayborn School of Journalism Dorothy Bland, Dean of the Frank W. and Sue Mayborn School of Journalism Costas Tsatsoulis, Interim Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Levine, Lauren. E. Act Like a Punk, Sing Like a Feminist: A Longitudinal Content Analysis of Feminist Themes in Punk Rock Song Lyrics, 1970-2009. Master of Arts (Journalism), May 2015, 104 pp., 6 tables, references, 123 titles. Punk rock music has long been labeled sexist as copious media-generated accounts and reports of the genre concentrate on male artists, hyper-masculine performances, and lyrics considered to be aggressive, sexist, and misogynist. However, scholars have rarely examined punk rock music longitudinally, focusing heavily on 1980s and 1990s manifestations of the genre. Furthermore, few systematic content analyses of feminist themes in punk rock song lyrics have been conducted. The present research is a longitudinal content analysis of lyrics of 600 punk rock songs released for four decades between 1970 and 2009 to examine the prevalence of and longitudinal shifts in antiestablishment themes, the prevalence of and longitudinal shifts in sexist themes relative to feminist themes, the prevalence of and longitudinal shifts in specific feminist branches, and what factors are related to feminism. Using top-rated albums retrieved from Sputnik Music’s “Best Punk Albums” charts, systematic random sampling was applied to select 50 songs for each combination of three gender types and four decades.

TRAILBLAZER FROM THE INSTANT THE PASADENA QUARTET ASCENDED FROM THE L.A. CLUB SCENE WITH ITS 1978 WARNER BROS.

GAME CHANGER FOR THE PAST 40 YEARS, MOST GUITARISTS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GIVE YOU A SURPRISINGLY DETAILED ACCOUNT OF THE FIRST TIME THEY HEARD EDDIE VAN HALEN — WHERE THEY WERE, WHO THEY WERE WITH AND THE BEWILDERED STATE THEY FOUND THEMSELVES IN AFTER HEARING “ERUPTION.” FROM THE VICIOUS ATTACK AND INSANELY ENVIABLE GUITAR TONE LEGENDARY ON “YOU REALLY GOT ME” TO THE RADICAL AND LIMIT-PUSHING PLAYING TECHNIQUES EDDIE DEPLOYED ON VAN HALEN 1, PEOPLE’S FIRST REACTIONS OFTEN REFLECTED THE SAME THEMES — “HOW DOES ICONIC HE DO THAT?” OR “I HAD NEVER HEARD ANYONE PLAY LIKE THAT OR SOUND LIKE THAT BEFORE.” HIS INFLUENCE WAS, IS AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE A TRIFECTA COMBINING THE INNOVATIVE GENIUS OF HIS PLAYING, HIS MASTER CRAFTSMANSHIP AS A SONGWRITER AND HIS UNRELENTING ABILITY TO EXPERIMENT AND PUSH TO CREATE SOME OF THE GREATEST GUITAR DESIGNS AND SOUNDS EVER.
