  • Is Rock Music in Decline? a Business Perspective
    Jose Dailos Cabrera Laasanen Is Rock Music in Decline? A Business Perspective Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Bachelor of Business Administration International Business and Logistics 1405484 22nd March 2018 Abstract Author(s) Jose Dailos Cabrera Laasanen Title Is Rock Music in Decline? A Business Perspective Number of Pages 45 Date 22.03.2018 Degree Bachelor of Business Administration Degree Programme International Business and Logistics Instructor(s) Michael Keaney, Senior Lecturer Rock music has great importance in the recent history of human kind, and it is interesting to understand the reasons of its de- cline, if it actually exists. Its legacy will never disappear, and it will always be a great influence for new artists but is important to find out the reasons why it has become what it is in now, and what is the expected future for the genre. This project is going to be focused on the analysis of some im- portant business aspects related with rock music and its de- cline, if exists. The collapse of Gibson guitars will be analyzed, because if rock music is in decline, then the collapse of Gibson is a good evidence of this. Also, the performance of independ- ent and major record labels through history will be analyzed to understand better the health state of the genre. The same with music festivals that today seem to be increasing their popularity at the expense of smaller types of live-music events.

  • Lush: Shoegaze, Blind Spot and Reunions
    Lush: Shoegaze, Blind Spot and Reunions theskinny.co.uk /music/interviews/lush-interview Lush Editor's Choice "You know, I hate the term shoegazing." Emma Anderson laughs but she's frustrated rather than amused as she reflects on the continuing and uncomfortable packaging of the scene her band Lush helped kick-start a mere quarter century ago. That time might have flown but the lazy compartmentalising has remained. "The scene was ridiculed to some extent," she continues, "but if you go back to the 90s, a lot of stuff hasn’t stood the test of time very well at all, and I can see why this has. It has a slightly other-worldly quality, I guess. It's very musical. That might sound really silly but it's not lyric-driven, it's certainly not scene-driven. It's based in music and genuine, real emotion." Hear hear. And her band's lasting qualities go some considerable way towards explaining why their unexpected regrouping late last year was greeted with such immediate warmth. With the likes of Ride and Slowdive's returns leading to a thoughtful re-evaluation of their back catalogues, Lush begin again with their credibility secure, despite elements of a largely supportive press at the time throwing them the odd bitchy barb. As we talk by phone ahead of the band's first release in 20 years – the tremendous Blind Spot EP – and a run of live shows that include two headline performances at London's vast Roundhouse, Anderson recalls those slyly negative notices with bemusement. "This has come up quite a lot actually," she says.

  • Musical Genres – Rock Music Rock Music Started in the 1950'S In
    Musical Genres – Rock Music Rock music started in the 1950’s in America and was known as Rock n Roll. Elvis Presley was one of the first and most famous rock n roll singers. Rock music is characterised by the use of amplified guitars – lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass guitar, drums and vocalist. The definition of rock music is that it is popular music with a loud and strong beat. Rock usually has 4 strong beats per bar and is in a verse – chorus structure. The lyrics, as with the majority of pop songs, are about romantic love but lyrics could also be about social or political ideas. Most rock bands are made up of between three and five performers – lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass guitar, drums and vocals. Sometimes a keyboard or Hammond organ would be included. Many different types of rock music developed during the 1960’s and 1970’s in both the USA and the UK. Pop music became more commercial and pop starts became really famous and took on a celebrity status. Rock music was generally aimed at the young audience, appealing most to teenagers. Rock musicians were expected to write their own songs and not perform cover versions of previous hits. Folk rock became popular in the late 1960’s and Bob Dylan was the most famous folk rock musician. Festivals were becoming popular and Bob Dylan liked to write political songs and anti-Vietnam war songs such as ‘Blowin in the Wind’. His sound is more acoustic than traditional rock music with him playing guitar and harmonica as well as performing the vocals.

  • Commercial Alternative
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Birkbeck Institutional Research Online Commercial Alternative Joseph Brooker – Slow down / You’re taking me over… 1 – Another victory like that and we are done for.2 By the end of the 1980s, popular culture and media commentary brimmed with a self-conscious desire to name and describe the present. Few decades have had as clear an account of themselves as the 1980s, whatever the gaps and limits of that account. The 1990s became ever more sure of what had happened in the 1980s; but packing the 1990s themselves into a compelling summary proved more difficult. For the time being, those looking for stories of the last decade must make do with tracts like Stephen Bayley’s Labour Camp, a brief, bilious assault on the aesthetics and politics of Blair’s first term. For all his rancour, snobbery and carelessness, Bayley lands a few hits, and leaves a few hints. Bayley reads New Labour in terms not of social and economic policy, but of taste and image: Blair’s choice of car, the efforts at ‘rebranding Britain’, the design of the Dome. The cultural emblem of the Blair years, he proposes, is Elton John: He is a popular phenomenon, therefore it is irrelevant and elitist even to wonder if he is actually any good. He is emphatically middle-of-the-road. He is classless.... After a much-reported past of rock-star excess, he is clean, dried out…. Whoever would have thought you could relaunch old Labour? Whoever would have thought you could relaunch Elton John? The parallels between the two transformations are remarkable.3 The thought is suggestive, but leaves much unsaid about the new terrain inherited and shaped by the Blair government.

  • What Happened to the Female Stars of Britpop?
    Home News Sport Weather Shop Earth Travel Search Music Menu My Music What happened to the female stars of Britpop? By Fraser McAlpine Monday 13th November 2017 The indie bands that came to dominate Britpop emerged from a healthy alternative culture that was politically involved, progressive in outlook and inclusive of female input, from the alien techno of Björk to the literate blues of PJ Harvey. So it's a shame that now, 25 years after the formation of Elastica, that moment in popular culture is so often reduced to a boorish bunfight between blokes from the north (Oasis) and blokes from the south (Blur), or a testosterone-driven clash of classes. It was all of those things and several more complicated stories too, and nowhere near as male-dominated as it appears in the retelling. Here are seven bands whose contribution should not be overlooked. 1. Elastica [LISTEN] Justine Frischmann: Why I dropped music for art Elastica formed in mid-1992, when Justine Frischmann and Justin Welch decided they needed a group to reflect the interests of people like them. They made one album of sharp post-punk with lyrics confidently tackling erectile disfunction, scenesters and making out in cars, and it sold faster than any debut album since Definitely Maybe (a record it held for over 10 years). There followed a messy period, with band members leaving and arriving and a scrappy second album The Menace in 2000, after which the band split up. Guitarist Donna Matthews continues to make music under her own name, and works as a Christian missionary to the homeless.

  • Place and Punk: the Heritage Significance of Grunge in the Pacific North West
    Place and Punk: The heritage significance of Grunge in the Pacific North West William Kenneth Smith MA By Research University of York Archaeology May 2017 Abstract Academic institutions and the heritage industry are now actively seeking to understand the wider social, cultural and economic processes which surround the production and consumption of popular music histories. Music is a local creation; it is created through a flux of internal and external influences, and is bound up in questions of economy, networks, art, identity and technology. In the early 1990s the Pacific North West of the United States of America gave birth to what became known as the musical genre of ‘grunge’. It developed into a distinctive genre, presenting a style and sound which propagated within the confines of a specific time and place. As construction sites continue to emerge throughout the Pacific North West, the impact of music still provides an essential contribution to the regions character and culture. Despite this, countercultural pasts are vulnerable; not only to the passage of time but also the processes of development, gentrification and marginalization. This research explores the heritage significance of the Pacific North West punk scene. It presents a historiography of punk and an appraisal of the scholarly discourse surrounding place. This study utilizes artifacts, sites and oral histories to explore countercultural material and memories as well as the form and function of punk. Themes such as geography and environment are enfranchised into the discussion as ethnography and multidisciplinary approaches are applied to make a unique contribution to what is an essential and timely discussion regarding people, culture, heritage and place.

  • Britpop & Indie Rock Cover Band
    BANGBay Area – Britpop ON& Indie Rock Cover Band Bang On is a new Bay Area cover band, specializing in 90s Britpop (Oasis/Radiohead/Blur) , 80s Indie and Postpunk (The Cure/Smiths/Stone Demo Tracks: Roses), 70s Glam (Bowie/T-Rex), and hits from newer post-Britpop bands such as Franz Ferdinand (full list of covered bands below). miniurl.org/BangOnSongs The band’s objective is to provide fans with the song variety of an indie dance club night combined with the excitement of a live show. In the past year, Bang On has played in San Francisco at Café du Nord, The Red Devil Lounge, LiPo Lounge, Kimo’s, Cat Club, Knockout and Grant & Green Saloon in North Beach. In April, the band played a special and very successful Pulp concert after-party at Showdown near the Warfield Theatre. Most recently, Bang On was the featured live act at Club Leisure, DEBASER and The Queen is Dead. Leisure is San Francisco’s premier Britpop club; DEBASER is SF’s best ‘90s alternative dance party and The Queen is Dead is the best Smiths night in SF. Bang On played all club sets to packed and energized dance floors. The band is a dynamic five-piece that brings a high energy show to enthusiastic , dedicated crowds of Britpop and Indie Rock fans who are under-served by a lack of bar and club bands paying tribute to these genres. Bang On’s front man, Jake Chaplin is an accomplished singer and multi- instrumentalist. His vocal versatility makes him perfect to cover this diverse group of artists, from the gravel-toned sounds of Oasis to the high notes of Radiohead.
