PRESSEMITTEILUNG 26.11.2019 Pixies Bestätigen Zwei Exklusive FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 26.11.2019 Pixies bestätigen zwei exklusive Open-Air-Auftritte für Juli 2020 Pixies veröffentlichten im Herbst dieses Jahres ihr neues und achtes Studioalbum „Beneath The Eyrie“ und starteten zeitgleich mit dem europäischen Teil ihrer Welttournee, die die wegweisenden Indie-Rocker im Oktober auch nach Deutschland führte. Jetzt haben Pixies bestätigt, dass sie im kommenden Jahr zurückkehren werden: Im Rahmen des „Summer in the City“-Festivals in Mainz und des Zelt- Musik-Festivals in Freiburg stehen im Juli 2020 zwei Auftritte fest in ihrem Konzertkalender. Von den Pixies ist man gewohnt, dass sie keine fertige Setlist dabeihaben: Black Francis (Gesang, Gitarre), Joey Santiago (Gitarre), Paz Lenchantin (Bass) und David Lovering (Drums) bereiten bei ihren Proben rund 90 Songs aus allen Phasen der Bandgeschichte vor. Jeder Auftritt soll anders werden als alle anderen, die Abfolge und Auswahl der Stücke erfolgt ganz spontan während der Konzerte. Dabei wird Frontman Francis dem Mischer, dem Lichtmenschen und den Mitgliedern jeweils kurzfristig vorgeben, welcher Song als nächstes gespielt wird. Zudem legt die Band Pixies keinen großen Wert auf viele Worte zwischen den Stücken und konzentriert sich viel mehr auf ihre elektrisierende Musik. Dann steht einem durchgängig großartigen Konzert nichts mehr im Weg. Das Quartett greift auf ein großes und vielfältiges Repertoire zurück: Seit der ersten Phase in den späten 80ern sind die Pixies eine der einflussreichsten Bands überhaupt und die Liste der Musikerinnen und Musiker, die sich auf sie berufen, ist mehrere Ellen lang. Sie haben den Weg für Grunge (Nirvana und Pearl Jam waren Fans) genauso geebnet wie für hymnische Sounds (Radiohead beziehen sich heute noch darauf) oder vielfältigen Indie-Rock zwischen TV On The Radio und Weezer. Der starke dynamische Wechsel, der so ausgeprägt erst mit ihnen im Rock Einzug hielt, ist ihr Markenzeichen, das auch das konzertante Erlebnis prägt. Ihre stärksten Momente, das gilt noch immer, haben die Pixies auf der Bühne. 24.07.2020 Freiburg - Zelt-Musik-Festival 25.07.2020 Mainz - Summer in the City Festival Tickets für das Konzert in Mainz gibt es ab Freitag, den 15. November, 10 Uhr und für das Konzert in Freiburg ab Dienstag, den 26. November, 10 Uhr ab 43,00 Euro zzgl. Gebühren an allen bekannten CTS–VVK-Stellen sowie unter der Hotline 01806 – 853653 (0,20 €/Anruf aus dem Festnetz, Mobilfunk max. 0,60 €/Anruf), auf fkpscorpio.com und eventim.de.

  • Välkommen Till Pixies Nya Album "Beneath the Eyrie"!
    2019-09-13 09:30 CEST Intuitivt, musikaliskt & filmiskt - välkommen till Pixies nya album "Beneath the Eyrie"! Intuitivt, musikaliskt, filmiskt, verklighetsfrånvänt - och ändå underligt bekant och nästan obehagligt oroande. Välkommen till Pixies nya studioalbum, “Beneath the Eyrie”, där sagor om häxor, Daniel Boone, missanpassade och andra karaktärer passar perfekt in i bandets medfödda dysfunktionalitet. Skivan innehåller 12 låtar och släpps – både digitalt och fysiskt - idag via Pixies nya label Infectious/BMG. Lyssna på albumet HÄR! Vi har redan fått två smakprov från plattan. Först kom ”On Graveyard Hill”, en klassisk Pixies-berättelse om omedelbar och överhängande undergång, skriven av Black Francis och Paz Lenchantin. För några veckor sedan släpptes “Catfish Kate”, som är en djupdykning i bandets frontman, Black Francis, mentala fantasivärld. ”Beneath The Eyrie” är inspelat i Dreamland Recordings nära Woodstock, NY. Producent är Grammy-nominerade Tom Dalgety (Ghost, Royal Blood, Pixies). Albumet fick sitt namn när David Lovering tog en paus utanför studion (som från början är en kyrka, St Johns Church, byggd i slutet av 1800-talet). Plötsligt upptäckte han ett örnbo, eller ”eyrie”, i ett träd i närheten - och skivans titel var ett faktum. Samtidigt med inspelningarna av albumet valde Pixies att dokumentera varje del av processen och berätta om vad som ägde rum i studion. Detta sammanställdes sen till en podcast i tolv delar som har fått titeln ”It’s A Pixies Podcast”. I podden får vi en unik inblick i hur alla spåren på skivan kom till; från början till slutförandet. HÄR kan du lyssna på podcasten! Under 2019 och 2020 åker Pixies ut på en världsturne med premiär på Daydream Festival i Pasadena, USA den 31 augusti.

Rhymes and Linkin Park recently collaborated on “We Made It,” the first single and video from Rhymes’ upcoming album, Blessed.

As the band’s co-lead vocalist Mike Shinoda told the magazine, “That puts extra pressure on us to make sure our set is different every night.” The fifth installation of Linkin Park’s raging road show will see them headlining an all-star bill that features former Soundgarden/Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell, electro-rockers The Bravery and Ashes Divide featuring Billy Howerdel, known for his work with A Perfect Circle.

  • KAURA to Release New Full-Length CD/DVD, ‘That Which Defines Us’, on September 20Th, 2011
    For Immediate Release July 18th, 2011 KAURA to Release New Full-Length CD/DVD, ‘That Which Defines Us’, on September 20th, 2011 California natives KAURA (pronounced kay-aura) were born from the vision of infusing the aggressive power of hard, melodic rock with the haunting and ethereal sounds of ancient instruments. The band is proud to release their anticipated debut full-length CD/DVD, That Which Defines Us, on September 20th, 2011. Produced by singer Malcolm Guess, the album is a testament of dedication, taking over two years to record with the assistance of rock luminaries such as Sylvia Massey (Tool, System of a Down, Danzig), Ken Andrews (Failure, A Perfect Circle) and Michael Romanowski (Dredg). Central to the album’s sound were instruments that the band collected on their travels to India, Thailand, Bali, Cambodia, Laos, and Nepal. “We were really drawn to the sounds of these instruments because they are not traditionally heard in modern rock music,” explains guitarist Ben Rojas. Drummer Benjamin Jones adds, “We have always strived to create our own unique voice and incorporating these instruments helps us do that and create a really expansive depth of sound.” The DVD portion of the set includes two music videos directed by drummer Benjamin Jones for the songs ‘Ephemeral Fall’ and ‘Silence Speaks Louder’. It also features an hour long ‘Making of the Album’, and footage of the band’s adventures collecting instruments during their travels. Tracklisting: 1. Inovocation 2. Sera Phi 3. One Becomes Two 4. Ephemeral Fall 5. Solace 6. Silence Speaks Louder 7. Apathy 8.

  • PRESSEMITTEILUNG 19.07.2016 Pixies Kommen Im November Nach
    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 19.07.2016 Pixies kommen im November nach Köln Gestern Abend haben die Pixies open air in Berlin gespielt. Bei ihrem Auftritt in der Zitadelle Spandau haben die Legenden natürlich auch gleich ein paar neue Stücke von ihrem zweiten Post-Reunion-Album „Head Carrier“, das Ende September erscheinen wird, live getestet – darunter auch die erste Single „Um Chagga Lagga“. Produziert wurde die Platte von Tom Dalgety, der zuletzt schon Killing Joke einen neuen Klang gegeben und Royal Blood abgemischt hat, in den Rak Studios in London. Dabei hat er das Markenzeichen der Pixies, diesen einzigartigen Mix aus Surrealismus, Psychedelia, Dissonanz und Surf Rock unangetastet gelassen und nur behutsam modifiziert. Und er hat die Stimme der neuen Bassistin Paz Lenchantin, die jetzt neben den Gitarristen Black Francis und Joey Santiago und Schlagzeuger David Lovering fest zur Band gehört, mit ins Spiel gebracht, die mit ihren coolen und verträumten Sopran beispielsweise das Stück „All I Think About Now“ prägt. Was dem neuen Werk besonders gut tat: Erstmals in ihrer langen Karriere konnten die Pixies sich Zeit lassen. Innerhalb von sechs Wochen entstanden eine Fülle von Songs, von denen es nach einem langen Entscheidungsprozess zwölf auf „Head Carrier“ geschafft haben. Aber natürlich sind die Pixies in erster Linie eine Live-Band, das hat sich in all den Jahren nicht geändert. Die intensiven Shows haben so viele Fans dazu gebracht, selbst eine Band zu gründen, wie man das von kaum einer anderen Band behaupten kann.
