Se retrouvant dans le top 25 des adolescents les plus influents du monde, selon le magazine américain Time, cette jeune suédoise de 16 ans est en train de révolutionner le monde. En août 2018, elle a lancé la « Skolstrejk för klimatet », ou grève pour le climat. Depuis, à chaque vendredi, elle manifeste en manquant l’école et en réclamant aux gouvernements d’agir pour régler l’urgence climatique qui nous envahit présentement. Nous courrons à la perte de notre planète si nous n’agissons pas dès maintenant. Greta entraîne un véritable mouvement international et éveille les consciences peu à peu. Le 27 septembre dernier, une grève pour le climat se déroulait à Montréal et des milliers d’individus se sont réunis pour manifester leur volonté de changer notre monde. Les glaciers fondent, la température se réchauffe, des milliers d’espèces et d’écosystèmes meurent… La liste est déjà longue et continuera de s’allonger si nous restons là sans agir. Mais il est encore temps; nous devons nous lever et prendre conscience de l’alarmante réalité à laquelle nous faisons face présentement.

  • CTE Bio Unpeeled
    Cage the Elephant UNPEELED You can’t talk about music in this century without mentioning Cage the Elephant. They are the last of the great bands — or perhaps, based on new album Unpeeled, the first of the great new ones. They trace their nervy, seditious lineage from that same uncompromising place that gave us Between the Buttons-era Stones, the Pixies, the Stone Roses, the Velvet Underground and Iggy Pop. In fact, it was as if Bowling Green, Kentucky’s second-most famous export had been born full-blown and knowing when they first burst out on a stage in the early days of 2006, regurgitated whole out of the music's murky past with their platinum hair, sunglasses and Doc Martens. Mysterious, a little troubled, with an unstudied cool, a reckless charm and the striking looks of the young Yardbirds and the rakish confidence of the early Stones. “We had this picture of what a rock ‘n’ roll band was supposed to be when we started,” says vocalist Matt Shultz, who fronts the sextet comprising brother Brad on rhythm guitar, drummer Jared Champion, bassist Daniel Tichenor, lead guitarist Nick Bockrath and keyboardist Matthan Minster. “In my younger years, I definitely tried to play into personas that often hindered the material’s ability to be truly effective. Then as years passed I started wanting to shed some of that creative baggage.” That might have been the most important lesson the band learned working with Dan Auerbach, who produced Cage’s 2015 Grammy- winning Tell Me I’m Pretty album. He helped them chip away at all the things that stood between them and their songs, uncovering their own raw power.

  • Cage the Elephant Släpper Livealbumet “Unpeeled” Idag
    2017-07-28 12:27 CEST Cage the Elephant släpper livealbumet “Unpeeled” idag Cage the Elephant består av frontsångaren Matt Shultz, gitarristen Brad Shultz, trummisen Jared Champion, basisten Daniel Tichenor, gitarristen Nick Bockrath och Matthan Minster på keys och backing vocals. Cage The Elephant är hyllade som ett utav världens mest explosiva liveband och har sålt ut flera headlining-turnéer, inklusive en arenaturné under sommaren 2016 samt nyligen även en europeisk turné. Albumet ”Unpeeled” spelades in under april månad i år vid bandets "Live & Unpeeled" -konserter i Los Angeles, Washington DC, Knoxville och Nashville. Med på albumet hittas totalt tjugoen låtar varav arton spår av dessa är kurerade från bandets fyra tidigare släppta album med tre tolkningar av befintliga låtar, samt även låtar med strängkvartett-och körackompanjemang. Gitarristen Brad Shultz förklarar de nya låttolkningarna: “We connected with the songs in a way we hadn’t before. It was really all about the balance of the intimacy and the delicacy of how we approach playing these songs live acoustically and with strings as we hadn’t done before. We were very transparent, and we found the more honest you can be with yourself, the more honest you can be with everyone else.” Frontsångaren Matt Shultz fortsätter vidare: “Many times you’re adding sonic layers looking for something to hide behind, and what you don’t realize is that that vulnerability and that nakedness might be the most compelling and interesting thing about the song.” Se YouTube-videon här Cage the Elephant tog hem sin första Grammis vid förra årets upplaga av Amerikanska GRAMMY® AWARD för Bästa Rock Album för albumet, “Tell Me I’m Pretty”, producerat av Dan Auerbach från The Black Keys.
