THE RISE of STRFKR Start Not Trying—And Succeed K k JULY-AUGUST 2019 K g VOL. 31 #7 H WOWHALL.ORGk easy to feel small and slow.” When Hodges started STRFKR in 2007, it was designed to be success-proof. The name was both unfit for radio and a jab at fame-chasers. But the project was also meant to be bright, playful and brimming with energy. He stumbled upon a winning juxtaposition that’s a STRFKR staple to this day: dark (or heavy) lyrics set to happy music. English thinker/writer Alan Watts, a scholar of Eastern philosophy, appears on nearly every STRFKR release.

WBC TO PICKET BLACK KEYS AND MODEST MOUSE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24TH, 6:00PM AT KANSAS CITY’S SPRINT CENTER Black Keys, made up of the God hating duo Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney are heading to Kansas City. This pair shows neither shame nor remorse for the way they have treated their real (first) wives, and now live in sin with women who are not their wives, pretending that life is good. “Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away.” (Mal 2:15-16) Black Keys will be joined by indie rock band Modest Mouse, whose lead singer Isaac Brock stated "I'm 100 percent on the whole christianity thing being a crock of shit, pretty much". Black Keys and Modest Mouse have nothing to offer anybody. Zero, zilch, nought, nada. God willing, WBC will be in Kansas City to inject some Bible into their tour. These sin teachers will continue to infect the minds of many, so we look for any responsive soul who will not be numbered with the multitude, and would rather refuse the evil, and choose the good.

  • Pressemitteilung Zu Thunderpussy
    Pressemitteilung zu Thunderpussy Mit einer ordentlichen Portion Rock’n’Roll und viel Frauenpower kommen Thunderpussy am 03.09.2018 nach Hamburg ins headCrash Hamburg, Juni 2018 – Seattle gab dem Rock´n´Roll Legenden wie Jimi Hendrix, Heart, Nirvana und Pearl Jam. Seither fließt ein steter Strom hochrangiger Kapellen aus der Stadt im Nordwesten der USA in die restliche Rockwelt. Das All Girl Quartett Thunderpussy setzt diese gute Tradition fort, ihr gleichnamiges Debütalbum führt mit seinen laut- und schlagstarken Songs den Rock´n´Roll ins 21. Jahrhundert. Im September 2018 kommen die vier taffen Mädels nach Deutschland: unter anderem werden sie am 03.09.2018 in Hamburg im HeadCrash rocken, dass die Fetzen fliegen. Aus dem US-amerikanischen Nordwesten stammen zahlreiche Frauen, die in der ersten Liga rocken. Die Schwester Ann und Nancy Wilson von Heart etwa, L7, Bikini Kill und Hole kommen aus dieser Ecke. Und jetzt also Thunderpussy. Mit Molly Sides am Mikro, Whitney Petty (Gitarre), Leah Julius (Bass) und Ruby Dunphy (Drums) ist der Rock´n´Roll wieder ein gutes Stück weiblicher geworden. „Die Leute sprechen von Magie“, beschreibt Gitarristin Whitney die Reaktion des Publikums auf Thunderpussy. „Es ist eine Art Voodoo, die zwischen Molly und mir entsteht, eine Art kosmischer Verbindung. Sie hat diese Power. Irgendwie bin ich von ihr verzaubert, wenn ich spiele. Wir alle sind von ihr verzaubert.“ Frontfrau Molly Sides gibt das Kompliment prompt zurück, „in Wahrheit fühle ich das gleiche in Bezug auf Whitney, Leah und Ruby - wir sind zusammen auf dieser Reise.“ Pressekontakt: Erik Sabas +49 40 4133018-40 [email protected] river_concerts www.riverconcerts.de River Concerts Auch auf Mike McCready, seines Zeichens Gitarrist von Pearl Jam, wirkte der Zauber.

  • Musica: Esce Eagle Birds,Secondo Singolo Dei the Black Keys
    Cultura - Musica: esce Eagle Birds,secondo singolo dei The Black Keys Roma - 28 apr 2019 (Prima Pagina News) La seconda traccia del nuovo album “Let’s Rock” del duo americano. Dan Auerbach e Patrick Carney, in arte The Black Keys, rilasciano il secondo brano “Eagle Birds” del nuovo album “Let’s Rock”, in uscita prevista per il 28 giugno 2019. L’album è stato prodotto e registrato dalla band americana di Akron presso lo studio Eye Sound del cantante/chitarrista Dan Auerbach. Dopo aver rievocato nella nostra memoria la sonorità dei Foghat con il primo brano “Lo/Hi”, la seconda traccia anticipa la coerenza stilistica del nuovo album con i precedenti. Eagle Birds racconta di due aquile che volano in alto alla ricerca di un amore reale che le sollevi ancora di più; come il power duo della band confessa in un’intervista: “Quando siamo insieme, siamo i Black Keys, ed è lì che si trova la vera magia.” Il pezzo si apre su un sipario di distorsioni elettriche che conferiscono al brano uno stile rock puro e indipendente; più dannato e meno “pop.” Per il momento vengono meno le tastiere che patinavano tracce come “Lonely Boy” ed “Howlin’ For You” e si sposta in seconda linea una leggera batteria che lascia spazio alla chitarra elettrica energica e graffiante. D’altro canto, come dichiara espressamente Dan Auerbach: “Il disco è un omaggio alla chitarra elettrica. Abbiamo avuto un approccio semplice ed eliminato tutto il grasso, come al solito.” di Luca Di Piazza Domenica 28 Aprile 2019 Verbalia Comunicazione S.r.l.

  • Elation IP65 Lighting for Montana's Inaugural Peak to Sky Festival
    12-Sept-2019 Elation IP65 lighting for Montana’s inaugural Peak to Sky festival Jereco Studios designs and supplies robust, professional lighting rig for iconic rock lineup When your inaugural event has rock icons like Mike McCready (Pearl Jam), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses), Josh Klinghoffer (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters) on the bill, let’s just say you’re off to a good start. But you also know you need to deliver lighting worthy of that all-star status, and in a western environment where harsh weather is to be expected. That was the challenge local event producers Outlaw Partners and lighting suppliers Jereco Studios were up against at the first annual Peak to Sky festival in Montana in early July. “We knew going in that we would have to put together a package that would be fitting of some of the biggest names in rock n' roll,” says Frank Douglas of Bozeman-based Jereco Studios. With at least 75% of the live production done by Jereco Studios during the summer months outdoors, Douglas says that in southwest Montana at least 75% of those shows experience some degree of inclement weather. “From sustained high winds, to hail, to rain, to snow, our most exposed fixtures need to be able to withstand that. Elation has led the way with their large selection of IP-rated fixtures.” Guitars and grandeur The 4th of July weekend Peak to Sky festival, curated by McCready, featured two days of world-class rock under the striking backdrop of Lone Mountain in Big Sky, Montana.
