  • Presseinfo 2020 PDF (0.2
    BUSH UK-Rockstars Bush kehren zurück auf die Bühnen! 8. Album ›The Mind Plays Tricks on You‹ erscheint im Frühjahr Im Juni drei Deutschland-Shows in Hamburg, Berlin & Münster Die großartigen britischen Rocker Bush kommen 2020 mit einem neuen Album, sowie einer ganzen Reihe von Live-Shows, zurück auf Tour. Die Band mit dem charismatischen Frontmann Gavin Rossdale kündigte unlängst an, dass ihr achtes Album ›The Mind Plays Tricks on You‹ im März oder April diesen Jahres veröffentlicht wird. Im Zuge der Veröffentlichung werden Bush weltweit einige Shows spielen, dadrunter auch u.a. am 5. Juni 2020 in der Grossen Freiheit 36 in Hamburg. Seit ihrer Gründung im Jahr 1991 gelten Bush als eine Rockband, die auf eine kuriose Weise stets antizyklisch zu den jeweils aktuellen musikalischen Strömungen in Großbritannien agierten. Nur so lässt sich auch erklären, dass sie außerhalb ihrer Heimat und allen voran in den USA immer erfolgreicher waren. Diese Besonderheit begann bereits mit der Veröffentlichung ihres Debüts ›Sixteen Stone‹ im Jahr 1994. Während das Album in England gerade einmal bis auf Platz 42 stieg, knackte es in den USA direkt die Top Ten und wurde dort bis heute mit sechsfach Platin ausgezeichnet. Auch in Australien, Neuseeland und Kanada erhielt die Platte vielfach Platin und konnte sich teils monatelang in den Top Ten halten mit fünf ausgekoppelten Hit-Singles wie ›Everything Zen‹, ›Comedown‹ und ›Glycerine‹. Mit ihrem zweiten, 1996 veröffentlichten Album ›Razorblade Suitcase‹, gelang Bush endgültig der Schritt in die Oberliga der globalen Rockmusik. Die Strategie der Band bestand darin unter Zuhilfenahme eines renommierten, für jeweils einen sehr eigenen Sound bekannten Produzenten ein Unikum darzustellen, welches mit keinem anderen ihrer Alben vergleichbar schien.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
