Peter Murphy @ Irving Plaza The frontman for the legendary Goth group Bauhaus, Peter Murphy, recently wrapped up "Resurrection," an international reunion tour 15 years in the waiting, and Gotham, both a double-disc live album and a live video recorded over two unforgettable nights at Hammerstein Ballroom. As a solo artist, however, it's been five years since Murphy has set foot onstage. And he hasn't missed a step. On the wings of Wild Birds (Beggars Banquet), a retrospective compilation of album versions and edits highlighting his solo career from 1985 to 1995, the distinctive singer returns to touring alone, working only from his history of independent work. Hardly an indulgence in nostalgia, these songs, like their singer, possess extraordinary agelessness. Wild Birds achieves an unusual cohesion for a collection, flowing naturally from one another as if taken from one work. (The exception is a raw version of Pere Ubu's "Final Solution.") Over the course of his albums, Murphy's music has certainly evolved, but the differences have been subtle. He doesn't rely on time-trapping musical or technical fads, and therefore is not betrayed by them. Count on the same "here and now–ness" from the live show, though he's more likely to draw from Deep, Holy Smoke and Cascade than from the earlier material. Bauhaus tunes are simply out of the question. Distinguished from his group work, the solo stuff is a lighter, sweeter pop–not innocent necessarily, more like reveling in the exotic and beautiful side of darkness. Not that the man can't rock; Murphy has always been a performance artist at heart, armed with a truly mesmerizing stage presence, fluid body movement and a deep, chillingly smooth voice. Accompanied by Bauhaus drummer Kevin Haskins, former Jane's Addiction bassist Eric Avery, Porno for Pyros guitarist Peter DiStefano, and Love and Rockets' producer Doug DeAngelis on keyboards, the master showman can't (and won't) fail to please Robin A. Rothman Time Out New York March 16-23, 2000 .

ADAM and the ANTS Adam and the Ants Were Formed in 1977 in London, England
ADAM AND THE ANTS Adam and the Ants were formed in 1977 in London, England. They existed in two incarnations. One of which lasted from 1977 until 1982 known as The Ants. This was considered their Punk era. The second incarnation known as Adam and the Ants also featured Adam Ant on vocals, but the rest of the band changed quite frequently. This would mark their shift to new wave/post-punk. They would release ten studio albums and twenty-five singles. Their hits include Stand and Deliver, Antmusic, Antrap, Prince Charming, and Kings of the Wild Frontier. A large part of their identity was the uniform Adam Ant wore on stage that consisted of blue and gold material as well as his sophisticated and dramatic stage presence. Click the band name above. ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN Formed in Liverpool, England in 1978 post-punk/new wave band Echo and the Bunnymen consisted of Ian McCulloch (vocals, guitar), Will Sergeant (guitar), Les Pattinson (bass), and Pete de Freitas (drums). They produced thirteen studio albums and thirty singles. Their debut album Crocodiles would make it to the top twenty list in the UK. Some of their hits include Killing Moon, Bring on the Dancing Horses, The Cutter, Rescue, Back of Love, and Lips Like Sugar. A very large part of their identity was silohuettes. Their music videos and album covers often included silohuettes of the band. They also have somewhat dark undertones to their music that are conveyed through the design. Click the band name above. THE CLASH Formed in London, England in 1976, The Clash were a punk rock group consisting of Joe Strummer (vocals, guitar), Mick Jones (vocals, guitar), Paul Simonon (bass), and Topper Headon (drums).

Dave Navarro - Beyond Addiction "Guitar World" (N°? - Février 1994) - Alan Di Perna
Dave Navarro - Beyond Addiction "Guitar World" (n°? - Février 1994) - Alan di Perna Clean and Sober Dave Navarro lives for today with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. L.A. is burning. A series of wickedly devastating brushfires have encircled the City of Angels, turning the surrounding hills into a raging inferno. But Dave Navarro looks implacably cool as he pilots his black Harley down Ventura Boulevard. The guitarist's newly sprouted goatee gives him a conquistador's air of stony self-possession as he glides along the wide thoroughfare. A bandanna and shades protect his hair and eyes from the pall of smoke and cinders that have made the city's air seem like the mouth of a badly vented fireplace. Angelenos have learned not to let castastrophe interrupt their daily lives, and Navarro is no exception. His bike safely stashed in a "Loading Only" zone, the guitarist enters a trendy coffeehouse--one of those self-consciously bohemian places that could only exist in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley. Settling onto a worn antique sofa, he orders a cup of black decaf and a bowl of cereal moistened with fruit juice. "I don't eat dairy," he explains. "No caffeine either. Right now, this is my only vice..." He smiles as he lights the first of many cigarettes. Studying the self-confident, purposeful guy seated at my side, I can't help but contrast him with the Dave Navarro I interviewed two years ago [GW, September '91]. At that time, he was a slavering, incoherent wreck, badly strung out on heroin and unable to even locate his shoes.

Concerttalk: a Weekend with a Portable Audio Space Henry B
61 ConcertTalk: A Weekend With a Portable Audio Space Henry B. (Hank) Strub Interval Research Corporation ISOI-C Page Mill Rd. Palo Alto, CA 94304 U.S.A. + 1-415 -842 -6088 [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper describes a study of the ConcertTalk system, a portable audio space that was used for two days. Two-way radios were provided to attendees at Lollapalooza rock concerts, and their use was recorded and analyzed. The study's participants quickly began using the system, used it throughout the day, and found many creative ways for the radios to improve the Lollapalooza concert experience. ConcertTalk's results suggest the utility of studying CHI technologies outside of work places, both to validate and expand the foundational theory of Our growing domain of knowledge in practice. KEYWORDS Portable user interfaces, Speech & voice, Social issues, Audio space, Observational study. 1.

JANE's ADDICTION Strays (Hard Rock)
JANE'S ADDICTION Strays (Hard Rock) Année de sortie : 2003 Nombre de pistes : 11 Durée : 48' Support : CD Provenance : Acheté Révélé par son album Nothing’s Shocking en 1988, JANE’S ADDICTION obtient un impact considérable avec la sortie de Ritual De Lo Habitual deux ans plus tard. Certifié platine, ce disque consacre le groupe comme l’une des figures majeures du Rock alternatif. En pleine gloire, le chanteur Perry FARRELL, absorbé par le festival itinérant Lollapalooza qu’il a créé, décide pourtant de dissoudre JANE’S ADDICTION en 1991. Une longue parenthèse le voit alors s’impliquer dans cet événement, aujourd’hui une institution en matière de contre-culture sur les plans artistique, mais aussi politique voire religieux. Il revendra finalement ses parts en 1996. Sur le plan musical, il monte PORNO FOR PYROS avec le batteur Steve PERKINS, alors qu’Eric AVERY et Dave NAVARRO sont engagés respectivement comme bassiste de INFECTIOUS GROOVE et guitariste des RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS. A partir de 1998, le chanteur entreprend de reformer JANE’S ADDICTION. La renaissance du groupe donne lieu à un album homogène et de belle facture, Strays, qui paraît en 2003. Après plus d’une décennie de silence, cette nouvelle collection de titres montre un groupe impatient d’en découdre. Par un tonitruant « here we go », Perry FARRELL donne le signal de l’attaque massive du morceau d’ouverture True Nature. L’album est traversé par le Hard Rock, marque de fabrique du groupe. L’énorme succès Just Because, illuminé par les riffs acérés de Dave NAVARRO, explose en un refrain extrêmement accrocheur.
