  • La Americana Frankie Cosmos Confirma Conciertos En Donostia, a Coruña, Madrid Y
    FRANKIE COSMOS – GIRA 2019 11 de diciembre 2018 LA AMERICANA FRANKIE COSMOS CONFIRMA CONCIERTOS EN DONOSTIA, A CORUÑA, MADRID Y BARCELONA FRANKIE COSMOS – GIRA 2019 12 DE ABRIL - DABADABA, DONOSTIA 13 DE ABRIL - GARUFA CLUB, A CORUÑA 16 DE ABRIL - SALA SOL, MADRID 17 DE ABRIL - RAZZMATAZZ 3, BARCELONA La joven artista Greta Kline, conocida como Frankie Cosmos, se ha convertido en nada menos que la salvadora del indie pop y poeta laureada del DIY (hazlo tú mismo) de Nueva York. Con su minimalismo quebradizo y una voz tan dulce como peculiar, Kline desgrana los sentimientos profundos de la ciudad: desde el bajón que te da pasar tu tarjeta de metro y ver que no tienes billetes un día que vas con prisa hasta la alegría de llegar al andén del metro al mismo tiempo que tu tren. Será los días 12 de abril en lasala Dabadaba de Donostia, el 13 en el Garufa Club de A Coruña, el 16 en Sala Sol de Madrid y el 17 en el Razzmatazz 3 de Barcelona, cuando se presente en directo y podamos disfrutar de su pureza y sencillez. Un ejemplo de la nueva generación de músicos, nacidos en una era de autoedición, Kline comenzó a construir su reputación con un amplio catálogo de canciones que grababa en su habitación. La belleza de sus letras radica en su habilidad para examinar situaciones cotidianas y expresarlo con total sinceridad en sus canciones. En 2015 firmó por Bayonet Records e inmediatamente publicó un EP. 'Fit Me In' fue recibido con los brazos abiertos por Pitchfork y Kline comenzó a grabar su siguiente trabajo, su álbum 'Next Thing'.

  • Salil Shetty July 22, 2015 Secretary General Amnesty International
    Salil Shetty July 22, 2015 Secretary General Amnesty International Steven W. Hawkins Executive Director Amnesty International USA Amnesty International Board of Directors Dear Mr. Shetty, Mr. Hawkins and the Amnesty International Board of Directors: We write to you in light of Amnesty International’s “Draft Policy on Sex Work” to be reportedly submitted for consideration at its International Council Meeting in Dublin, from 7-11 August 2015, and which endorses the full decriminalization of the sex industry.1 The signatories below represent a wide breadth of national and international human rights advocates, women's rights organizations, faith-based and secular organizations and concerned individuals, deeply troubled by Amnesty’s proposal to adopt a policy that calls for the decriminalization of pimps, brothel owners and buyers of sex — the pillars of a $99 billion global sex industry.2 Most importantly, the signers include courageous survivors of the sex trade whose authority of experience informs us about the inescapable harms the sex trade inflicted on them and guides us toward finding meaningful solutions toward ending these human rights violations. Amnesty International was the first and most prominent organization to bring the concept of human rights to the global community. Although Amnesty was late in understanding that women’s rights are human rights and incorporating this concept in its mission, it was nevertheless seen as a beacon in mobilizing the public to ensure governments’ implementation of the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The “Draft Policy on Sex Work3” flies in the face of this historical reputation. We firmly believe and agree with Amnesty that human beings bought and sold in the sex trade, who are mostly women, must not be criminalized in any jurisdiction and that their human rights must be respected and protected to the fullest extent.

  • V Meetfactory Zahrají Frankie Cosmos a Porches - Nenápadné Hvězdy Zámořské Indie Scény
    z V MeetFactory zahrají Frankie Cosmos a Porches - nenápadné hvězdy zámořské indie scény 18. května, Praha – MeetFactory Aaron a Greta jsou pár z New Yorku. Aaron má introspektivní elektro-kytarovku Porches, mladinká Greta má svůj DIY-folkový projekt Frankie Cosmos (pod kterým vydala od roku 2011 desítky přímočarých domácích nahrávek). Porches vydali letos parádní druhou desku „Pool“, o které píše Pitchfork v pochvalné recenzi jako o „soundtracku k domácí párty stydlivých dětí“, Frankie Cosmos vydala k 1. dubnu rovněž druhé regulérní album „Next Thing“ plné jednoduchých, ale o to silnějších songů. Porches a Frankie Cosmos jedou na jaře na společné evropské turné a 30. května se konečně staví také v MeetFactory. Jako dítě z herecké rodiny mohla mít Greta Kline cestu do showbyznysu hladce ušlapanou. Už na střední škole ale tahle mimořádně hudebně nadaná Newyorčanka propadla kouzlu místní nezávislé scény kolem labelu Double Double Whammy a od roku 2011 začala pod pseudonymem Ingrid Superstar zásobovat hudební blogy obývákovými lo-fi nahrávkami. Indie estetice kombinující křehký vokál se zasněnou kytarou a prostými synťáky zůstala Greta věrná i ve svém novém projektu Frankie Cosmos, kterému kromě stydlivé písničkářky pomohl na svět už zmiňovaný Aaron Maine. Vydání regulérní studiovky sice přišlo až za dlouhé tři roky, čekání se ale vyplatilo. Debutové album plné intimních miniatur z názvem Zentropa sklidilo mimořádně dobré recenze a nadějnou kapelu si pod svoje křídla brzy stáhl label Bayonet Records (Beach Fossils, Red Sea), kde o rok později vychází čtyřtrackové EP Fit Me In. Na stejné značce vyšla letos v dubnu také druhá studiovka Next Thing, která svou jednoduchostí a neokázalostí jednoznačně ukazuje tu lepší tvář současné indie music.

  • (CD Suggestions) Amen Dunes Freedom the Fifth Album from Damon Mcmahon Is His Euphoric Break- Through
    What to Listen to Next (CD Suggestions) Amen Dunes Freedom The fifth album from Damon McMahon is his euphoric break- through. Everything feels silvery and romantic, like a halluci- nation of the classic-rock songbook. Born Ruffians Uncle Duke & The Chief Their 5th album less concerned with what sounds hip than what feels good. In the Ruffians case that means reconnect- ing with the sounds they first heard on their parents’ turnta- bles as kids: Buddy Holly, The Everly Brothers, and pre- psychedelic Beatles. David Byrne American Utopia David Byrne’s first true solo album in 14 years is daring and open-hearted and contains highs a master can achieve when they rediscover a moment of unknown inspiration. Camp Cope How to Socialize and Make Friends The second album from the Australian trio hums with rage and retribution, executed with biting specificity and vast emo- tional range by singer Georgia Maq. Frankie Cosmos Vessel On Greta Kline’s third official album, pure love, self-loathing, and taxidermied dogs all find their way into her dazzling world of perennially inspired indie pop. Editors Violence On their 6th album, Editors retains their distinctive dark, grounded in guitar rock sound, but is laced with vivid, pop- focused arrangements and imagery. Field Report Summertime Songs Field Report return with their third album, a collection of folk rock combining narrative lyrics and the sound of the Ameri- can heartland. Holy Wave Adult Fear On their third full-length, Austin's Holy Wave continue to surf on dreamy, psyched-out washes of sound: distorted guitars, synth washes, echoing vocals and a locked-in rhythm section to cut through the fog.
