  • O Porquê Da Existência De Festivais Punk Na Europa
    Paulo Bettencourt Lemos A INDUSTRIALIZAÇÃO DO MOVIMENTO PUNK Relatório de estágio em Comunicação e Jornalismo, orientado pelo Doutor Carlos Camponez, apresentado ao Departamento de Informação, Comunicação e Filosofia da Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Coimbra Julho de 2014 1 Faculdade de Letras A INDUSTRIALIZAÇÃO DO MOVIMENTO PUNK Ficha Técnica: Tipo de trabalho Relatório de estágio Título A INDUSTRIALIZAÇÃO DO MOVIMENTO PUNK Autor Paulo Bettencourt Lemos Orientador Doutor Carlos Camponez Júri Presidente: Vogais: 1. 2. Identificação do Curso 2º Ciclo em Comunicação e Jornalismo Data da defesa Classificação 2 Resumo Embora o Punk tenha surgido em finais da década de 70 como uma contra-cultura revolucionária que se opôs aos valores sociais vigentes da sociedade inglesa, rapidamente a indústria absorveu este movimento social. A atual aceitação social da prévia rebeldia Punk deu-se através da sua comercialização, onde foi possível ao mainstream suavizar os seus aspetos mais agressivos popularizando assim agrupamentos musicais do género. A vulgarização do Punk ocorreu deste modo através da incorporação comercial da sua música e estética. Neste relatório de estágio reflete-se sobre o papel e a influência da indústria no Punk. Através de uma análise ao festival Mighty Sounds, compreenderemos como a comercialização desta tribo urbana tornou este fenómeno facilmente reconhecido a nível mundial e qual o impacto da indústria nos movimentos do underground, desconhecidos pelo grande público, e que se encontram fora dos mediatismos comerciais e noticiosos. Palavras-chave: Mighty Sounds, Punk, Música, Festivais de Verão, República Checa, Praga 3 Abstract Although Punk has emerged in the late 70s as a revolutionary counter-culture that opposed the prevailing social values of English society, the industry quickly absorbed this social movement.

    our first show at an Amherst youth center. Scott Helland’s brother Eric’s band Mace played; they became The Outpatients. Our first Boston show was with DYS, The Mighty COs and The AMERICA’S HARDCORE FU’s. It was very intense for us. We were so intimidated. Future generations will fuck up again THE OUTPATIENTS got started in 1982 by Deep Wound bassist Scott Helland At least we can try and change the one we’re in and his older brother Eric “Vis” Helland, guitarist/vocalist of Mace — a 1980-82 — Deep Wound, “Deep Wound” Metal group that played like Motörhead but dug Black Flag (a rare blend back then). The Outpatients opened for bands like EAST COAST Black Flag, Hüsker Dü and SSD. Flipside called ’em “one of the most brutalizing live bands In 1980, over-with small cities and run-down mill towns across the Northeast from the period.” 1983’s gnarly Basement Tape teemed with bored kids with nothing to do. Punk of any kind earned a cultural demo included credits that read: “Play loud in death sentence in the land of stiff upper-lipped Yanks. That cultural isolation math class.” became the impetus for a few notable local Hardcore scenes.

  • Alt-Nation: Your Guide to an Alt Summer
    Alt-Nation: Your Guide to an Alt Summer Bettye LeVette A few years ago I was in Ogie’s when this song came on that was a burst of old school ’60s soul, almost like a female version of Otis Redding. That was my introduction to Bettye LeVette. She isn’t really strictly a soul artist as she has done rock and R&B as well. Her latest record, Things Have Changed, is a collection of Bob Dylan covers that features guests like Keith Richards and Trombone Shorty. Levette may do other people’s songs but she makes them uniquely her own. Bettye LeVette will be at the Narrows Center for the Arts in Fall River on Jun 7 The Head And The Heart The Head and The Heart take a break from their tour with Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats to do a one-off show in East Providence’s newest venue-by-the-water in Bold Point Park. The Head And The Heart’s latest release, Signs of Life in 2016, spurned the hit single “All We Ever Knew.” Indie-folk meets breezy ’70s pop at its finest — check out The Head And The Heart under the stars! The Head And The Heart are at Bold Point Park in East Providence on Jun 8 Street Dogs Little known fact: I actually booked the Street Dogs’ first show in Providence at the old Green Room. I always preferred the Street Dogs to the Dropkick Murphys because they seem less cliché. The reason for the comparison is that Street Dogs vocalist Mike McColgan was the original singer of the Dropkicks.

  • Street Dogs (US) Till Debaser Slussen Och Klubben Lost Sound 7/7
    2012-03-29 16:05 CEST Street Dogs (US) till Debaser Slussen och klubben Lost Sound 7/7 Semestertider, sol, öl och Lost Sound. Skramliga hits ute och inne och dessutom en rejäl dos punk i form av Street Dogs. Ikväll vänder vi upp och ner på Slussen. Street Dogs frontman Mike McColgan hade redan under 90-talet gjort sig ett namn som sångare i Dropkick Murphys, en av Bostonpunkens fanbärare. Med debutalbumet "Savin Hill" från 2003 fick Street Dogs redan från början överväldigande respons och den lojala fanskaran växer med varje nytt album, likt McColgans alltid konfrontativa låttexter och bandets musikaliska skicklighet. Enligt Bostoniansk punktradition skildrar Street Dogs musik arbetarklassens orättvisor och kamp mot en desillusionerad myndighet och giriga storföretag, uppväxten i Bostons hårdare kvarter men även en stolthet för ”Bönstaden”. Även om text och budskap delas kapitaliserar inte Street Dogs på McColgans bakgrund i Dropkick Murphys eller går efter Flogging Molly och The Mighty Mighty Bosstones irländska skapunk. Det är en hårdare och allvarligare punkrock i en explosiv blandning med rötter i Bostons irländska arbetarkultur. DJs: Lost Sound med vänner http://www.debaser.se/kalender/7960/ DEBASER är med sina ställen Debaser Slussen, Debaser Medis, Debaser Malmö och Debaser Humlegården Sveriges största klubbscen för i första hand pop och rock med en sammanlagd kapacitet på 1850 gäster under veckans flesta dagar.

  • 'You're the Real Hero'
    ‘You’re the real hero’ Richard Gere talks with RHD’s One Step Away erry, a vendor with RHD’s One Step Away, was about to sit down to watch Richard Gere’s new movie when Gere walked up and asked about Jerry’s story first. J One Step Away was invited to a VIP screening of Time Out Of Mind, an indie film in which Gere movingly plays George, a man experiencing homelessness and grappling with his existence in a world that has seemingly discarded him. It’s a project close to Gere’s heart; the iconic actor famous for movies such as Pretty Woman, An Officer and A Gentleman and American Gigolo is a passionate advocate for homeless causes. When Gere and director Oren Moverman were making appearances to promote Time Out Of Mind, Gere insisted that homelessness providers and most importantly people who’d actually experienced homelessness have a chance to see the film first. In Philadelphia, at an event hosted by Comcast and Project HOME, Gere premiered the film for an audience that included One Step Away — and Gere seemed most anxious to hear what Jerry thought of it. Gere is a supporter of the street newspaper movement, and was excited to find that Philadelphia — where he was born, although his family left Philly shortly thereafter — had a street paper. Asked if he had any message for people who were working to break the cycle of homelessness in their own lives, Gere laughed and said: “I don’t give them advice; they give me advice.” On the red carpet: Richard Gere (center) talks with One Step Away vendor Jerry (left) and One “I think these guys are the heroes, they’re the survivors,” Gere said.

JULI 2020 BANDTEXTE OPEN AIR LUMNEZIA 2019 DONNERSTAG Hess & the spanky Hammers (bandXost) Der Sound von Hess & The Spanky Hammers ist facettenreich, lebt von den Emotionen und Gefühlen, welche die Band auf der Bühne hat. Rock n’ Roll, Country und Blues liegt ihnen im Blut. Fesselnd sowie kraftvoll reissen sie das Publikum mit der Musik mit. Hess & The Spanky Hammers eröffnen das Festival und den Startrampen Contest. WE ARE AVA (bandXost) Seit August 2018 unterwegs, macht WE ARE AVA frischen, elektronischen Pop und begibt sich dabei auf die scheinbar niemals endende Suche nach Sounds und verlorenen Werten. Die Band besingt und bespielt die Liebe, die Tücken des Alltags und produziert Klangerzeugnisse zu ihren Geschichten, die mal sanft wie Baumwolle, aber auch mal energiegeladen wie Captain Kirk’s Enterprise sind. In Mitten vom Jonglieren zwischen dem richtigen analogen und digitalen Werkzeug finden die drei AVAs neue, traumtänzerische Klänge, die zum Mitsingen ein- laden. Crispy Dee (bandXost) Boom Bap, und Ein Live Feuerwerk mit Konzept und Idee. Das kann man von Crispy Dee erwarten. Und das mit Flows und Skills ohne Kompromisse. Bangende Beats von einem universell versierten Produzenten aus Baden, Lextronom, und dem wohlbekannten Rapper Crispy Dee. Textstrukturen auf höchstem Level und eine geballte Ladung Produktionsqualität. The Oskars (bandXost) Sie könnten nicht unterschiedlicher sein - auf der Bühne sprechen sie dieselbe Sprache. Kennengelernt in einer der Open Stages im St.Galler Bermuda-Dreieck, vereinen die drei Jungs um THE OSKARS alle eins: Das Publi- kum soll mit eingängigen Melodien und Mitmach-Parts zum Tanzen gebracht werden - mit Erfolg!
