ANCHOR 2017 – the Nominees! ANCHOR 2017 – the nominees! Hamburg, 9 August 2017 After the first edition of ANCHOR – Reeperbahn Festival International Music Award last year it received widespread acclaim: Rarely has a competition for aspiring new artists accomplished more: for the ANCHOR 2016 winner Albin Lee Meldau participation in the competition paid off and keeps paying: already in December, the Swedish singer-songwriter signed a worldwide major record deal and is now represented by the renowned US artists agency William Morris Endeavour, which has boosted his international profile enormously. That’s why we are getting really excited about this year’s ANCHOR nominees – and here they are. Just like last year, the quality level of the lineup is extremely high in 2017: The Canadian sextet Fast Romantics (CAN) play stunningly swirling indie rock and have already been awarded for their catchy songwriting in their home country. The noise rockers Pabst (DE) are managing the feat of combining elements of grunge, punk, indie, heavy metal, stoner and Brit rock and even R’n’B in their sound. Three outstanding female singer songwriters add to the roster, ranging from the empathic Fenne Lily (UK) (photo) who, with her voice and her guitar, casts spells over even the largest concert halls, via Alice Merton (CAN/GER/UK) already known in Germany by her single “No Roots” to the breathtakingly clear voice of Jade Bird (UK) whose songs can compare easily to those of Leslie Feist. The Copenhagen electro pop duo First Hate (DK) shows that political awareness and social responsibility go very well with large-scale synthie hymns and Matt Maltese (UK), only 20 years of age, already writes songs which are influenced by Leonard Cohen’s ballads but also by Jarvis Cocker while soul crooner Joseph J Jones (UK) originally wanted to become a professional boxer – but his wonderfully rough voice soon made it clear where he really belongs: on stage and on the radio – in England he is scooping the market with his single “Gospel Truth”! This year, the difficult task of selecting the ANCHOR 2017 winner is again in the hands of a top-class jury. Under the lead of David Bowie producer Tony Visconti, the jury consisting of Valeska Steiner and Sonja Glass of BOY, Garbage singer Shirley Manson, Emily Haines of Metric and Broken Social Scene and the BBC presenter Huw Stephens will attend all the shows of the nominated acts, and on this basis eventually pick the ANCHOR 2017 winner. ANCHOR 2017 / PRESS RELEASE 09.08.2017 PAGE 1/2 /2/2 The nominees were selected from among over 50 international applicants by the ANCHOR Board of 14 renowned representatives of the music industry and journalists. The nominees will play their shows from Wednesday, 20 Sept. to Friday, 22 Sept. at Imperial Theater and Molotow, not only before the festival audience but also the ANCHOR jury. But only the most promising talent can take home the ANCHOR 2017. One thing is for sure: they will keep us in suspense until the ANCHOR 2017 Award Ceremony on Saturday, 23 Sept at the St. Pauli Theater. But all acts already profit from being nominated, as the international attention they receive from the interested music and professional audience of one of the world’s leading music business platforms is catapulting them into the lime light of the international music world. Please find photos of the nominees here and video footage for your reporting on our media server.

    SEIL LIEN ANNOUNCE DEBUT RECORD ‘SHATTER’ + VIDEO FOR ‘IT’S LOVE THAT BROUGHT YOU HERE’ Album release: April 17th 2020 Label: CarbFace Records Pre-order from: https://seillien.bandcamp.com/album/shatter Website // Twitter // Facebook // Instagram // Spotify "Sublime debut" Planet Rock “Someone once described me as Nine Inch Nails meets Kate Bush, which I thought was funny. But I see what they mean, there’s an ethereal vulnerability which contrasts to the producers industrial edge.” Says Marie- Claire of Glaswegian atmospheric rock act SEIL LIEN. Due release their debut album ‘Shatter’ on April 17th 2020, SEIL LIEN is one of the most unique artists to come out of Scotland, and the brain child of an uncompromising underground experimentalist. A preview of the record can be heard on the new single ‘It’s Love That Brought You Here’ released today, with an accompanying video available to view on YouTube HERE. WATCH: ‘It’s Love That Brought You Here’ via YouTube With a solid fanbase built up over years of hard graft playing live, SEIL LIEN’s debut album ‘Shatter’ has been a long-awaited follow up to the aptly named ‘A Little While More EP’ released in 2018. Hitting the ground running, SEIL LIEN were thrust into the public eye when in 2018, through the publishing arm of Ninja Tune, the song ‘A Little While More’ was synced in a series of Boots ‘Inspirational Women’ campaign advertisements. Lead member Marie-Claire described the experience as “amazing, unexpected and life affirming!” and the catalyst to get the debut album finished. The final product is eight songs of uncompromising artistry a total of 3 years in the making, and a sound that could be described as the distillation of prolonged periods of improvisation and experimentation.

  • Behind the Music
    Q&A BEHIND THE MUSIC It’s crazy to think that this year marks the 20th Anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s passing – a true game-changer in our industry, and a man who, in many ways, revolutionised music, inadvertently spawning a whole new scene. Nevermind is a seminal record, and its success was the catalyst for record labels’ mission impossible, the search for ‘the next Nirvana’. Although he might not have known it at the time, those 16 days recording Nevermind would change Butch Vig’s career forever. It paved the way for a remarkable musical journey, the production of a string of hit records for supergroups such as The Smashing Pumpkins, The Foo Fighters, and many more... Not to mention Garbage, Vig’s own band, which has enjoyed more than 17 million record sales over the last two decades. This legend of the game reveals some of his trade secrets, and shares some fond, unforgettable memories... Your career speaks for itself, but first up, how did it all begin for you? Well, I played in bands in high school in a small town in Wisconsin, and then I went to University in Madison. I started getting into the local music scene, and joined a band, which was sort of a power pop, new wave band called Spooner; and Duke [Erikson] from Garbage was the guitarist and lead singer at the time. I also got a degree in film, and ended up doing a lot of music for film; a lot of synth, and abstract music, and that’s where I kind of got the recording bug.

Supervixen Está terminantemente permitida y es alentada la reproducción total o parcial de este documento. Nota del Editor Este número resultó en algo muy chingón. Para mí, la perfecta combinación de política y música. Con lo que ha pasado este mes, con tanta marcha por la familia heteronormada y el Trump que se quiere comer a los Estados Unidos y jodernos a los mexicanos en el pro- ceso, uno no puede evitar encabronarse, ¿pero saben qué hay que hacer cuando uno está encabronado, triste o ambos (estado catártico al que llamo emputristeza)? Escu- char punk. No sólo punk, pero mi subgénero favorito: queercore y la música de las Riot Grrls. Súbele el volumen, grita, patalea, arma un slam en tu cuarto y mientras tanto, léete esta zine y checa lo que les traemos ahora. Un colaborador que ha hecho llamar Hablador Irresponsable nos manda una muy bien hecha y muy necesitada crítica a los políticos de izquierda que no se han pronunciado ni en contra del FNF ni a favor de la comunidad LGBTQIA+, mientras que los de dere- cha armaban sus pedas llenas de cisexismo y homofobia. Una vez más, Héctor nos trae una reseña literaria, esta vez de un poemario lésbico, del cual me dejó leer un poema bastante cómico, pero él lo explica mejor que yo, ¡chéquenlo en la página 7! Lidia Gatica ha escrito un artículo sobre Katleen Hanna, para mí, la Riot Grrl más em- blemática, vocalista de Bikini Kill, banda que me enseñó lo que era el queer punk.

  • Garbage, Die Band Um Die Schottische Sängerin Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker Und Butch Vig, Kommt Zurück Nach Deutschland!
    Garbage, die Band um die schottische Sängerin Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker und Butch Vig, kommt zurück nach Deutschland! Nachdem sich die Band in Madison im US-Bundesstaat Wisconsin formiert hatte, ist 1995 ihr selbstbetiteltes Debütalbum erschienen. Die Platte mit Hits wie “Stupid Girl”, “Only Happy When It Rains”, “Queer” und Anderen verkaufte sich mehr als vier Millionen Mal und machte die Band um den erfolgreichen Produzenten Butch Vig - der unter anderem für Nirvanas “Nevermind” verantwortlich war - zu einer der einflussreichsten Alternative-Rock-Bands der USA. Ihr einzigartiger Sound und die provokante visuelle Ästhetik sorgten für weltweite Aufmerksamkeit und Erfolg. Das folgende Album “Version 2.0” überstieg den Erfolg des Debüts noch einmal, erreichte 1998 in vielen Ländern die Charts und wurde gleich in mehreren Kategorien – inklusive “Album des Jahres” - für einen Grammy nominiert. “Version 2.0” bleibt bis heute Garbages kommerziell erfolgreichstes Album. Mit “Beautiful Garbage” (2001) und “Bleed Like Me” (2005) folgten zwei weitere erfolgreiche Platten des Quartetts. Nach einer siebenjährigen Auszeit veröffentlichten Garbage 2012 das Album “Not Your Kind Of People” auf dem bandeigenen Indie-Label Stunvolume. Das Werk wurde damals unter den 50 besten Platten des Jahres im Rolling Stone geführt und von Pichtfork als “the alternative to everything” bejubelt. 2016 folgte „Strange Little Birds“, das ebenfalls von Fans und Kritikern hochgeschätzt ist. Garbage haben bis dato weltweit mehr als 15 Millionen Alben verkauft und sind in 45 Ländern aufgetreten – Deutschland war dabei jedoch immer eine ihrer wichtigsten Anlaufstellen. Die erste Jahreshälfte von 2019 verbringt die amerikanische Band größtenteils im Studio, um an ihrem siebten Album zu arbeiten.

    SHAMANIC 1 Night Only Wed 5 Jun - Cottiers, Glasgow (West End Festival) Spectacular, monumental collision of live painting and music created by AniMotion’s Maria Rud, Rezillos’ Fay Fife and Martin Metcalfe (Filthy Tongues/Goodbye Mr McKenzie ) “Lascivious and monumental… a multi-media spectacular…” **** The Herald Following on from its spectacular World Premiere at Edinburgh ’s Old Quad in September 2018, SHAMANIC will have its first performance in Glasgow at the West End Festival in June 2019, presented by PM Music. P SHAMANIC is a unique, dramatic, visceral collision of live music and painting, created by Russian artist Maria Rud (a development of her AniMotion Shows with Evelyn Glennie (which toured to USA, China and Europe)), iconic Rezillos frontwoman Fay Fife and Martin Metcalfe (Filthy R Tongues/Goodbye Mr McKenzie/Angelfish). The music created for SHAMANIC is a soundclash of 60s garage, alternative rock and E contemporary electronica, laced with a punk spirit. The core members have always felt the binding urge to unleash the rebellious uncompromising creative energy they share, and that defiant DIY spirit runs through all aspects of the show’s development. S The rhythm section of Rezillos bassist Chris Agnew and Filthy Tongues/Goodbye Mr Mackenzie's drummer Derek Kelly complete the line-up of what has been described as a S Hammer horror house-band let out from some Haight- Ashbury crypt for the night to whip up an unholy musical storm.
