Bob Geldof Til Nye Høyder Bob Geldof til nye høyder Fjellandsbyen Beitostølen får besøk av selveste Sir Bob Geldof når Trollrock feirer 5-års jubileum 900 m.o.h, 23- 26 juli 2015. Mannen bak Live Aid og frontfigur i legendariske The Boomtown Rats, med hiter som “I dont like Mondays”, “Rat trap” og “Banana Republic”, tar med seg fullt band og garanterer smakebiter fra hele sin vanvittige låtkatalog torsdag 23. Juli. Med Jotunheimen som kulisser kan festivalpublikumet nyte en naturopplevelse av de sjeldne, der fantastiske artister, kulinarisk lokalmat og unik atmosfære står i høysetet 3 dager til ende. - Trollrock har vært en festival med høye ambisjoner fra starten. Vi kjører Arne Scheie- prinsippet; begynne på topp, for deretter øke. Festivalen har hatt store artister før, men at Bob Geldof skulle komme til lille Beitostølen med 294 innbyggere hadde vi ikke turt å håpe på, sier en stolt festivalsjef Atle Dalen. -Lokaliteten og naturen på Beitostølen er helt unik, og dette falt i tydeligvis i smak. Beitostølen er mest kjent som et av Norges beste skisteder, men satser nå tungt som helårsdestinasjon. Hele lokalsamfunnet stiller opp for at Bob Geldofs, og de andre artistenes, opphold lever opp til forventningene, bedyrer Dalen. -I tillegg er samarbeid mellom festivaler i Norge vesentlig for sammen å hente store headlinere til ”overkommelige” summer, sier festivalsjefen, som har nytt godt av samarbeidet med Utkantfestivalen i dette tilfellet. Geldof er et fenomen – ikke bare en integrert del av popkulturens historie, det kulturelle landskap de siste tiårene, men også politisk. Den irske rockemusikeren er en av få punklegender som fortsatt er like aktive, relevante, ærlige og hjemsøkende som han var tilbake på syttitallet. Geldof grunnla og var frontfigur i The Boomtown Rats som var et av de største kommersielt suksessfulle bandene i hans generasjon. I 1977 satte noen irske unggutter London på hode med den selvtitulerte debuten. Karisma og identitet skrev musikkbladene, og første singlen ”Looking after no 1” brakte de høyt inn på hitlistene. Men det var første med ”Rat Trap” fra 1978 sin ”A tonic for the troops” at de suste til toppen av hitlistene og ble verdensstjerner. Det knallsterke new wave albumet inneholdt også live klassikere som "I never loved Eva Braun", "She so moderen" og "Like Clockwork". ”I dont like Mondays” frontet neste mesterverk, ”The fine art of Surfacing” fra 1979, og ble påfulgt av det flest anmeldere mener er deres beste plate, Mondo Bongo. I 1984 skrev Bob Geldof låten “Do they know it`s Christmas”, samlet et stjenelag og gav ut låten til inntekt for kampen mot fattigdom i Afrika og dermed var kanskje verdens største og viktigste musikkprosjekt i gang. Låten solgte vanvittige tre millioner kopier og ble både hurtigstselgende og mestselgende låt i britisk musikkhistorie. Prosjektet toppet seg med Live Aid i 1985 der Geldof som hovedperson organiserte en 16 timers lang konsert på Wembley i London og JFK stadium i Philiadelphia samtidig og samlet inn over 3000 kroner per sekund konserten pågikk! Geldof ble i 1986 utnevnt til Knight Commander av Order of the British Empire, for sitt engasjement mot fattigdom. Bob Geldof har også en karriere som skuespiller, og spilte blant annet hovedrollen i legendariske Pink Floyd - The Wall Geldof har alene og med band gitt ut hele 14 album og hans foreløpig siste og kritikerroste soloalbum fra 2011 het ironisk "How To Compose Popular Songs That Will Sell" ("58 1/2”), og gjenspeilet hans liv fra den positive siden så vel som fra et aserbisk perspektiv På Trollrock vil Geldof dekke sitt vide repertoar av solohits så vel som et stort antall kjente internasjonale hits av The Boomtown Rats.

License: Creative Commons Attribution Non-commercial No Derivatives Unless otherwise stated, copyright owned by the author The Top of the Poppers sing and play punk Russ Bestley, London College of Communication By the mid-1970s, the music industry had a long history of accommodating and recuperating teenage rebellion, and punk’s defiant message of radical change also offered new opportunities for commercial enterprise. A rush to sign new bands who could be (broadly) associated with punk, and the concomitant shift toward ‘new wave’ styles, led to a degree of UK chart success for a number of groups. The inclusion of punk and new wave songs on a series of low-budget compilations featuring cover versions of contemporary hits strikes a particularly discordant tone with punk’s self-styled image of a break with traditional music industry conventions. The albums released on the longstanding budget compilation series Top of the Pops between mid-1977 and early 1982 tell an interesting story about the cultural recuperation of punk, new wave and post-punk, and ask questions, perhaps, about the legitimacy of punk’s often mythologised ‘outsider status’.

  • 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.
