Kilbourn Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53203 414.908.6000 MillerHighLifeTheatre.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Sarah Maio [email protected] 414-908-6056 King Crimson Announce “Music Is Our Friend” North American Tour Dates 2021 King Crimson comes to the Miller High Life Theatre on August 31, 2021 MILWAUKEE – (June 7, 2021) – The Miller High Life Theatre and Alternative Concert Group are proud to welcome King Crimson with special guest The Zappa Band to the Miller High Life Theatre, August 31, 2021. Artist VIP presale is June 9 at 11 a.m., and venue presale is June 10th at 10 a.m. Tickets go on sale to the public Friday, June 11 at noon at the Miller High Life Theatre box office or Ticketmaster. When King Crimson returns to action this July, it will be the seventh year that the band has toured since returning to performing live in 2014, a run only interrupted by the lockdown in 2020. In that time, the audience has been reinvented, as much as the band itself, something Robert Fripp noted after the band’s performance in Pompeii, Italy’s famous amphitheater: “In Pompeii, a large percentage of the audience was young couples; KC moved into the mainstream in Italy. I walked onstage knowing that this band's position in the world has changed level.” - Robert Fripp The band’s shows regularly include material from twelve of their thirteen studio albums, including many songs from their seminal 1969 album In the Court of the Crimson King, described by Pete Townshend as an “uncanny masterpiece.” The 7-piece line-up play many historic pieces, which Crimson has never previously played live, as well as new arrangements of Crimson classics – “the music is new whenever it was written.” There are also new instrumentals and songs, as well as compositions by the three drummers, Pat Mastelotto, Gavin Harrison and Jeremy Stacey, which are a regular highlight.

Rekonesans Słowie wstępnym - Wymiary śmierci Stanisław Rosiek w do antologii francuskich tekstów dotyczą cych tanatologii zatytułowanej stwierdza: „Cóż można powiedzieć o śmierci, prócz tego, że jest – i że jest nieuchronna? Niewiele więcej. A jednak mówi się o niej i pisze ciągle od nowa” (Rosiek 2002: 6). Badacz dostrzega dewaluację słów o śmierci, zauważa, że „jako kategoria ogólna – zniknęła, tak samo jak kiedyś- rozpadła się jako persona” (Rosiek 2002: 6). Historyk literatury podkreśla jednak- wartość i potrzebę mówienia o zmarłych, a także o „żywych, którzy się obok umar- łych pojawiają jako uczestnicy zbiorowych rytuałów żałobnych lub jako rozpacza jący wedle prywatnej reguły” (Rosiek 2002: 6).

Jeden z najważniejszych francuskich prekursorów studiów tanatologicznych,- socjolog Louis-Vincent Thomas, zauważał poszerzenie zakresu badań dotyczących tanatologii jako szczególnej refleksji o życiu i śmierci, służącej życiu i upamiętnia jącej tych, którzy od nas odeszli (Thomas 2002: 11).

  • EDITORIAL BLITZ! Numéro 17
    EDITORIALEDITORIAL BLITZ!BLITZ! numéronuméro 1717 La transition entre les années 2015 et 2016 a été marquée par deux décès majeurs dans le monde de la musique moderne et populaire que nous aimons : Ian « Lemmy » Frazer Kilmister, fondateur de Motörhead, et David Bowie, artiste aux talents multiples, ont pris le grand départ pour l’au-delà. Nous avons décidé de consacrer notre dossier à Motörhead, projet musical dont nous admirons la constance affichée pendant quarante ans, et qu’il serait très réducteur d’affubler de la seule étiquette heavy metal. Quant à David Bowie, l’influence qu’il a exercée sur beaucoup d’artistes que nous aimons, parmi lesquels Ian Curtis, le rend forcément incontournable dans un très prochain numéro de BLITZ! Fort heureusement, le présent numéro de votre webzine n’est pas qu’une rubrique nécrologique : vous y trouverez aussi des interviews et des articles consacrés à des artistes bien vivants, dont les têtes fourmillent de projets. Bonne lecture et merci pour votre fidélité !

  • King Crimson – Live in Chicago
    King Crimson – Live in Chicago (73:42 + 79:51, 2 CDs, Discipline Global Mobile, 2017) Über zu wenig Material von King Crimson braucht man sich in letzter Zeit nun wirklich zu beklagen. Gerade wurde u.a. die 21(!) CDs umfassende „Sailor’s Tale“ betitelte Rückschau der Jahre 1970-72 unters Volk gebracht, während die aktuelle Inkarnation der Band erneut auf Tour geht. „Live In Chicago“ stammt aus dem Sommer dieses Jahres und man fragt sich dennoch unweigerlich: ein weiteres Livealbum von King Crimson, ist das nun wirklich nötig? Einmal mehr lautet die klare Antwort ‚Ja‘, auch wenn sicherlich dieses Werk letztendlich vor allem die Die-Hard-Fans der Band begeistern wird. Seit 2015 erschienen bereits diverse Liveveröffentlichungen der Band um Robert Fripp (2015: „Live At The Orpheum“, 2016: „Live In Toronto“ und „Radical Action To Unseat The Hold Of The Monkey Mind“, 2017: „Heroes EP“ und der Japan Import „Live In Vienna“), so dass „Live In Chicago“ eine weitere Fortsetzung der aktuellen Reinkarnation mit drei(!) Schlagzeugern bedeutet. In der Besetzung Robert Fripp (Gitarre, Keyboards), Mel Collins (Saxophon, Flöte), Gavin Harrison (Schlagzeug), Jakko Jakszyk (Gitarre, Flöte, Gesang), Tony Levin (Bass, Stick, Gesang), Pat Mastelotto (Schlagzeug), Bill Rieflin (Keyboards), Jeremy Stacey (Schlagzeug, Keyboards) entstand dieser Mitschnitt auf letzten US Tour. Gerade im Vergleich mit den anderen Aufzeichnungen der letzten Jahre fällt auf, dass man sich zwar vermehrt mit den Klassikern der 70er Jahre auseinandersetzt, aber neben gewissen Songkonstanten in der Setlist wie z.B. ‚Starless‘, ’21st Century Schizoid Man‘, ‚Easy Money‘, ‚Lark’s Tongues In Aspic I‘ oder ‚Pictures Of A City‘ umspannt jeder Livemitschnitt eine anregende Variation der Setlist, mit einer Mischung aus frühen Songperlen, wie auch komplett neuem bzw.

  • Davide P Artical
    Davide Piovesan Davide Piovesan is the man behind the drumkit for the first two Ephel Duath albums released on Earache Records: The Painters Palette (2003) and Pain Necessary to Know (2005). It is rare for a band to achieve an authentic marriage between jazz and metal. Jazz, in its elegance of tone and dynamics, can often clash with the harsh aesthetics and production of heavy metal. Ephel Duath, however, had indeed achieved such a blend of seemingly disparate musical styles. The importance of a drummer who can skillfully execute both cannot be overstated. What follows is a series of questions based on Davide Piovesan’s time in the band, the writing process and pushing the stylistic envelope. Q: Early Ephel Duath was quite different from the material that followed. What were your first impressions of the band? A: When I first met Davide Tiso, I didn't even know the band already existed. And I wasn't very interested in what they did before, to be honest. I listened to their older music only much later, after our first album was recorded. Tiso's style was clearly recognizable, but the abundance of "techno" stuff was not really exciting to me. Tiso was strongly demanding a totally different sound and instrumental intention. A complete 180, if you will. Q: What were your impressions of the music Davide Tiso was writing when you first joined? A: Davide got my phone number from a guitarist (maybe also his guitar tutor at the time) who had played in a jazz fusion band with me several years before.

  • King Crimson – Live in Toronto
    King Crimson – Live In Toronto (62:39 + 64:15, 2 CDs, Discipline Global Mobile, 2016) Eigentlich schien das Kapitel King Crimson bereits endgültig geschlossen. Nach der letzten längeren Tour im Jahr 2003 hatte Robert Fripp keine Lust mehr auf das stressige Tourleben, auch nervten ihn die damit verbunden Umstände immer mehr – Fotografen, die Auftritte mit Blitzlicht versauten, schlechte Bedingungen im Umfeld der Gigs, ständiges rastloses Unterwegssein -, wie er auch seit langen keine Interviews mehr geben wollte. 2008 folgten noch einige wenige Auftritte in den USA und das schien es dann endgültig mit King Crimson im Livesektor gewesen zu sein. Zum Trost für Fans hieltFripp dafür mit diversen, sehr aufwändig und hochwertig gestalteten Boxen das Interesse an der Band hoch. Überraschend fand der Mastermind ein paar Jahre später Gefallen an einer komplett neuen Reinkarnation seiner Band, verbunden mit einer noch viel überraschenden Reise weit in die Vergangenheit. Ende 2014 ging die Band in der auf den ersten Blick sehr eigenwilligen Besetzung mitRobert Fripp (Gitarre, Keyboards), Jakko Jakszyk (Gitarre, Gesang), Tony Levin (Bass, Stick), Mel Collins (Saxophon, Flöte) und den drei(!) Schlagzeugern Pat Mastelotto, Gavin Harrison und Bill Rieflin wieder auf Tour durch die USA, England, Holland, Frankreich, Kanada und Japan. Die Reaktionen darauf waren begeistert, teils regelrecht enthusiastisch. Nachdem letztes Jahr mit dem Livealbum „Live At The Orpheum“ bereits ein rund 40-minütger, viel zu kurzer Ausschnitt jener Tour erschien, liegt mit „Live in Toronto“ jetzt endlich ein kompletter Konzertmitschnitt vor. Der Abend zuvor auf der gleichen Bühne und am gleichen Ort hatten unter keinem guten Stern gestanden, da wieder einmal Paparazzi trotz ausdrücklichen Fotografierverbots für ein Konzert ohne Zugabe und reichlich genervte Musiker sorgten – tags darauf aber lieferten King Crimson einen ihrer besten, wenn nicht sogar den besten Auftritt überhaupt in dieser Besetzung ab.
