  • DEVILDRIVER AUGUST BURNS RED 25.06.2012 Stuttgart Die Röhre
    DEVILDRIVER AUGUST BURNS RED 25.06.2012 Stuttgart Die Röhre Exklusive Co-Headlinershow in Stuttgart! Seit neun Jahren mischen DEVILDRIVER aus dem kalifornischen Santa Barbara die internationale Metal-Szene mit einem frischen, originären Sound auf. Ihre Verbindung von höchst groovendem Metalcore und angrif fslustigem Melodic Death Metal fand vom Fleck weg viele Liebhaber. Mittlerweile hat sich die Band weltweit einen Namen gemacht als unkonventionelle, stets überraschende Formation, die ihre eigene Nische zwischen den zahlreichen Metal-Spielarten gefunden hat. Im Juni kommen DEVILDRIVER um den charismatischen Front- Shouter Dez Fafara für drei Konzerte nach Deutschland. Besonders aufregend verspricht ihre Co-Headliner-Show mit AUGUST BURNS RED am 25. Juni in Stuttgart zu werden. Der Erfolg von DEVILDRIVER war geradezu vorprogrammiert. Ihr Frontmann Dez Fafara blickte zum Zeitpunkt der Bandgründung im Jahr 2002 bereits auf eine viel versprechende internationale Karriere mit der NuMetal-Formation Coal Chamber. Nach drei Alben und sieben gemeinsamen Jahren löste Fafara die Band auf, als er Bassist Jon Miller, Drummer John Boecklin und Gitarrist Jeff Kendrick kennenlernte. Die beiden Musiker waren dabei, die Songs für ein erstes Album fertigzustellen, für das ihnen lediglich noch ein Frontmann fehlte. Fafara stieß hinzu und man rekrutierte mit dem zweiten Gitarristen Evan Pitts einen weiteren Mitstreiter. Gemeinsam komponierten sie komplett neues Material für das im Oktober 2002 veröffentlichte Debütalbum „DevilDriver“. Zunächst zeigte sich die einschlägige Metal-Presse verhalten. Der innovative Klang von DEVILDRIVER, der auf eine bislang ungehörte Weise den Groove des Metalcore mit der Här te und Schnelligkeit des Melodic Death Metal vereinte, musste erst seinen Weg in die Gehörgänge der Fans finden.

  • Queer Performativity and Grieving Through Music in the Work of Rufus Wainwright
    TRUE LOVES, DARK NIGHTS: QUEER PERFORMATIVITY AND GRIEVING THROUGH MUSIC IN THE WORK OF RUFUS WAINWRIGHT Stephanie Salerno A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2016 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Christian Coons Graduate Faculty Representative Kimberly Coates Katherine Meizel © 2016 Stephanie Salerno All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This dissertation studies the cultural significance of Canadian-American singer/songwriter Rufus Wainwright’s (b. 1973) album All Days Are Nights: Songs for Lulu (Decca, 2010). Lulu was written, recorded, and toured in the years surrounding the illness and eventual death of his mother, beloved Québécoise singer/songwriter Kate McGarrigle. The album, performed as a classical song cycle, stands out amongst Wainwright’s musical catalogue as a hybrid composition that mixes classical and popular musical forms and styles. More than merely a collection of songs about death, loss, and personal suffering, Lulu is a vehicle that enabled him to grieve through music. I argue that Wainwright’s performativity, as well as the music itself, can be understood as queer, or as that which transgresses traditional or expected boundaries. In this sense, Wainwright’s artistic identity and musical trajectory resemble a rhizome, extending in multiple directions and continually expanding to create new paths and outcomes. Instances of queerness reveal themselves in the genre hybridity of the Lulu song cycle, the emotional vulnerability of Wainwright’s vocal performance, the deconstruction of gender norms in live performance, and the circulation of affect within the performance space.

  • Kate Ceberano
    Kate Ceberano Singer, Songwriter, Artistic Director & Philanthropist Kate Ceberano is a multi-awarded soul, jazz and pop singer and song writer, the highly successful artistic director of the Adelaide Cabaret Festival and a dedicated philanthropist. Over an extraordinary career, she has achieved five Platinum albums, five Gold albums and she’s sold over two million albums in Australia alone. Kate was the first Australian woman to be inducted into the Australian Songwriters Association (ASA) Hall of Fame (2014), joining luminaries including Don Walker, The Easybeats, LRB and The Angels. A true Australian icon with a soulful voice, charismatic nature and exotic looks Kate has been described by Richard Wilkins of the Today Show as “Australian Music Royalty”. The Daily Telegraph said “she glows in a room and it’s not just because she has a great big smile, a great big personality and a great big voice”. And Time Out Melbourne said, “(the) first thing you notice about Ceberano is her energy, which actually sends the atoms crackling as she walks in the room. Flashing eyes, a ready roar, warm and funny – she’s your dream conversationalist”. Whether it is that: Kate’s earned her status as an ‘Australian icon’. More about Kate Ceberano: Kate first found fame with her funk band I’m Talking. I’m Talking has been acknowledged as the band “who pioneered New York-style art pop in Australia during the Jurassic Period of Pub Rock”. The group was managed by Ken West, now famous for being co-founder of the Big Day Out. The group’s ‘platinum’ debut album included three top ten singles and won the Best New Talent (1984) gong at the Countdown Awards.
