  • Glam Rock by Barney Hoskyns 1
    Glam Rock By Barney Hoskyns There's a new sensation A fabulous creation, A danceable solution To teenage revolution Roxy Music, 1973 1: All the Young Dudes: Dawn of the Teenage Rampage Glamour – a word first used in the 18th Century as a Scottish term connoting "magic" or "enchantment" – has always been a part of pop music. With his mascara and gold suits, Elvis Presley was pure glam. So was Little Richard, with his pencil moustache and towering pompadour hairstyle. The Rolling Stones of the mid-to- late Sixties, swathed in scarves and furs, were unquestionably glam; the group even dressed in drag to push their 1966 single "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?" But it wasn't until 1971 that "glam" as a term became the buzzword for a new teenage subculture that was reacting to the messianic, we-can-change-the-world rhetoric of late Sixties rock. When T. Rex's Marc Bolan sprinkled glitter under his eyes for a TV taping of the group’s "Hot Love," it signaled a revolt into provocative style, an implicit rejection of the music to which stoned older siblings had swayed during the previous decade. "My brother’s back at home with his Beatles and his Stones," Mott the Hoople's Ian Hunter drawled on the anthemic David Bowie song "All the Young Dudes," "we never got it off on that revolution stuff..." As such, glam was a manifestation of pop's cyclical nature, its hedonism and surface show-business fizz offering a pointed contrast to the sometimes po-faced earnestness of the Woodstock era.

  • Dear Friends That Love Music
    Thorcraft Cobra ~ The Distance Thorcraft Cobra have perfected the seemingly lost art of combining big, radio-friendly hooks with big, classic-rock guitars.” - LA Weekly “It's not really a record people can bone to, so it better be cerebral.” – Billy Zimmer First off, despite their righteously badass nom de artiste Thorcraft Cobra are not purveyors of weed- hazed, beer-soaked SoCal Throttle Rock. Together, Billy Zimmer (Brown Eyed Susans) and Tammy Glover (Sparks) combine a knack for concise pop songwriting, a gift for crafting immediately engaging melody, and impeccable taste in rock and roll sonics into something that is both fresh and undeniable. Zimmer and Glover first crossed paths when their respective acts signed to the same label. “I started as a fan of his guitar tone” relates Glover, “but quickly fell for his wit and songwriting skills.” Zimmer’s band, Brown Eyed Susans, had moved to Los Angeles, recorded a lost classic Afraid of Heights with Jason Falkner (Beck, Air, Paul McCartney, Jellyfish) producing, and was seemingly poised for success. Meanwhile, Tammy became the drummer for brothers Ron and Russell Mael in their iconic band, Sparks, and toured the world. When Brown Eyed Susans imploded in a cloud of dust, Zimmer retreated to his depressing North Hollywood wood-paneled hermitage to lick his wounds. He started working on some rough demos, and decided to play a few for his labelmate. “I wasn't super confident in my work. Then I played some it for Tammy, and she was like, "whhhaaatttt". And told me that it was good, and that she should play drums on it and we should put it out” explains Zimmer.

  • SPARKS Biografie Jeder Von Uns Hat Wohl Einen Oder Eine. Das Herz
    SPARKS Biografie Jeder von uns hat wohl einen oder eine. Das Herz eines jeden Musikliebhabers mag wohl angesichts der unerhörten Ungerechtigkeit bluten, dass nicht jedem persönlichen Lieblingskünstler oder Lieblingskünstlerin eben die Anerkennung und Glorie zuteil wird, die er oder sie in den Augen des Einzelnen verdient hat. Tief gekränkt vom Umstand, dass jenen Wunderbaren ihr redlich erarbeiteter Platz im Pantheon nicht nur verweigert wird, sondern und sie von grobschlächtigen Historikern bisweilen zur Fußnote der Geschichte degradiert werden. Künstler und Künstlerinnen, deren Kunst sie predigen und von denen sie Mixtapes für die ganz besonderen Freunde erstellen, die sie vielleicht auch verstehen. Ein/e Künstler oder Künstlerin, über die stundenlang gesprochen wird bei einer zufälligen Begegnung mit einem anderen Mit-Fan. Zum tiefen Erstaunen der Außenstehenden, versteht sich. In meinen – und in den Augen tausend anderer – repräsentieren die Sparks die ultimative „Warum sind sie nicht riesengroß?“-Band. In einem intakten Universum würde man Ron und Russell Mael ganze akademische Studienreihen widmen. Ebenso, wie man es heute mit Dylan, Bowie oder den Beatles tut. Städtische Einrichtungen oder Parks wären nach ihnen benannt, Denkmäler würden ihnen zu Ehren errichtet. Im Denken eines Wissenden käme ihnen eben diese Bedeutung zu. So könnte man das wundervoll schwermütige „When Do I Get To Sing `My Way`?“ wohl als kapitale Fehleinschätzung bezeichnen – einen Song, auf dem die Sparks durch die Blume die unfaire Tatsache verhandeln, bisher noch nicht in die ehrwürdige Hall Of Fame aufgenommen worden zu sein. Um es mit den Worten von „Sunset Boulevard“ zu sagen – und die Sparks sind auf viele Arten extrem „Sunset Boulevard“-like – Sparks sind groß.

  • Man up – Biographies
    Presents MAN UP A film by Ben Palmer (88 min., UK, 2015) Language: English Distribution Publicity Bonne Smith Star PR 1352 Dundas St. West Tel: 416-488-4436 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6J 1Y2 Fax: 416-488-8438 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com @MongrelMedia MongrelMedia LOGLINE When Nancy is mistaken for Jack’s blind date under the clock at Waterloo Station, she decides to take fate into her own hands and just go with it. What could possibly go wrong? MAN UP is an honest, heart-warming romantic comedy about taking chances and rolling with the consequences. One night, two people, on a first date like no other... SHORT SYNOPSIS Meet Nancy (Lake Bell): 34, single, hung-over, and exhausted by her well meaning but clueless friends’ continual matchmaking. 10 times bitten, 100 times shy, after an especially disastrous set-up at her friends’ engagement party, Nancy is basically done with dating. She’s reached the end of her rope, and is more than happy to hole up, seal up, and resign herself to a life alone. That is until Jack (Simon Pegg) mistakes Nancy for his blind date under the clock at Waterloo Station, and she does the unthinkable and just… goes with it. Because what if pretending to be someone else finally makes her man up, and become her painfully honest, awesomely unconventional, and slightly unstable true self? Best just to let the evening unfold, roll with the consequences, and see if one unpredictable, complicated, rather unique night can bring these two messy souls together.

  • Sparks Team up with Estonian Animation Director Chintis Lundgren for New Music Video
    Sparks team up with Estonian animation director Chintis Lundgren for new music video Ground-breaking pop pioneers Sparks – Los Angeleno brothers Ron and Russell Mael – have turned to the Estonian animation director Chintis Lundgren for the video for their new single ‘One For The Ages’, available on YouTube HERE. Renowned for her acclaimed, award-winning short film Manivald, Chintis runs her own animation studio Chintis Lundgreni Animatsioonistuudio and is co-founder of Adriatic Animation, an animation studio based in Zagreb, Croatia. The video follows a protagonist who dreams of creating something that could one day be considered 'one for the ages'. Each image is hand drawn on A5-sized printing paper, photographed with a Canon EOS 400 D digital camera with a 50 mm prime lens, coloured in Photoshop and edited in Adobe Premiere. Working to a tight timeline Chintis teamed up with animator Draško Ivezić for the project. “Draško has created a digital pencil that has pretty much the same kind of line as my analogue one, so I'm able to combine his digital drawing with my analogue ones without there being any noticeable difference.” 7 Broadbent Close, Highgate Village, London, N6 5JW t 020 3213 0135 f 020 8348 7776 e [email protected] www.republicmedia.net @republic_media "Who among us doesn't feel the need to be involved with One For The Ages, either in a creative endeavor, a personal relationship, or as the next Michael Jordan?"
