  • VÖ-Datum: 1.2.2013
    im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 040-5149 1465 [email protected] ROCK …ist eine große Schublade. In die passen hier kluger Ostküsten-Folk und Macho-Sounds aus dem Süden ebenso wie haariger Metal und sonnige Grooves von der Westküste. Und dazwischen tummeln sich auch noch drei ganz große Namen mit Legenden-Status mit jeweils fünf Alben, die in keiner Sammlung fehlen sollten… VÖ-Datum: 1.2.2013 10.000 MANIACS Die schimmernde, unmittelbar einnehmende Stimme von Natalie Merchant und die erfindungsreich gespielte Gitarre des inzwischen leider längst verstorbenen Robert Buck – das ist der magische Kern des Folk-Pop, den die 1981 in Jamestown, New York gegründete und nach einem Horror-Film (2.000 Maniacs) benannte Band auch zu einem durchaus unvermuteten kommerziellen Erfolg führte. Nachdem das Elektra-Debüt „The Wishing Chair“ 1985 den auch mal New Wave-inspirierten Rahmen mit Songs wie „Grey Victory“, „Maddox Table“ und „My Mother The War“ gleich überzeugend abgesteckt hatte, brachte „In My Tribe“ zwei Jahre später die erste US Top 40-Platzierung. Von Studioveteran Peter Asher (James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt) perfekt in Szene gesetzte Songs wie „Hey Jack Kerouac“ und der sozialkritische Impetus von „What’s The Matter Here“ oder „Gun Shy“ gehörten bald zur Grundausstattung jedes College-Campus. Mit ähnlichem Profil kletterte der Nachfolger „Blind Man’s Zoo“ 1989 sogar bis auf Platz 13 und erreichte Gold-Status. Zu ganz großer Form samt Bläsern, Streichern und Hits wie „These Are Days“ liefen die 10.000 Maniacs dann nochmal drei Jahre darauf mit „Our Time In Eden“ auf – ein prophetischer Titel, denn es sollte bereits das letzte Album der Band mit Natalie Merchant sein, die nach einer letzten, gemeinsamen Tour ihre Solo- Karriere startete.

    DECEMBER 28 1998 ISSUE 600 VOL. 57 NO.1 WWW.CMJ.COM MUST HEAR • Seagram Completes PolyGram Buy 5 Job Cuts Seen Starting In January On December 10, Seagram formally completed its $10.2 billion acquisition of PolyGram, creating the combined company Universal Music Group: In a statement on the company's restructuring, UMG CEO Doug Morris didn't disclose the number of layoffs, but industry watchers have speculated that 2,000-3,000 jobs (of the combined 15,500) will be cut. Announcements about staff cuts and artist drops are expected in January. "The integration of these two companies presents a rare opportunity to create an organization that is well positioned for profitable growth," Morris said. "UMG will be a lean, flexible organization that will benefit from economies of scale, while nurturing astrong local entrepreneurial spirit in its management team around the world." UMG's worldwide executive team will also include Vice Chairman Bruce Hack, President/C00 Zach H E LAC 0 PTE RS Horowitz and International Chairman/CEO Jorgen Larsen. The Universal restructuring plans, many of which were first outlined in aLos Angeles Times article in November, include the merger of Island Records and Mercury Records.

  • Lean on Me Release Edits
    PRESS RELEASE PROMINENT MUSICIANS FROM AROUND THE WORLD JOIN FORCES AS BAND OF ANGELS TO SPREAD COMFORT AND “LEAN ON ME” MESSAGE #COUNTMEIN NEWPORT BEACH/LONDON – A group of musicians from England and Orange County, California have joined forces and voices to release a music video today, featuring a cover of Lean on Me, written by Bill Withers who recently passed away. World-class musicians who have come together as “Band of Angels”, they have performed across the United States to raise awareness of the unacceptable numbers of veterans who are committing suicide. Their mission is to STOP SUI-SILENCE: The avoidance of discussion about suicide and to urge people “let’s start talking.” The video is available at www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eJROBBDksE. According to the spokesperson for Disaster Distress Helpline, there has been a spike in people seeking help in recent weeks. The national helpline, run by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), is experiencing a 338 percent increase in call volume compared with February. And compared to last year, for the same time period, it is an 891 percent increase of calls. “Prior to the Covid crisis, suicide amongst veterans was almost 1 an hour,” said Anne Hyde Dunsmore, Founder and President of Angel Force USA. “But now, with the COVID 19 pandemic, we have already seen that number surpass previous years. Today our first responders are on the frontline of the biggest battle our nation has faced in decades and most assuredly are traumatized by it.” The Band of Angels have donated their time in the hopes that their performance properly honors and comforts those who bravely serve the public during these difficult and uncertain times.
