    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 01.10.2019 Skid Row auf „United World Rebellion” – Tour in der Hamburger Markthalle Die Rebellion begann im Jahr 1986, sie wirkt immer weiter und erreicht demnächst ihren vorläufigen Höhepunkt: Skid Row haben das dritte Kapitel ihrer „United World Rebellion“ angekündigt. Waren „Chapter One“ und „Chapter Two: Rise of the Damnation Army“ noch EPs, soll der Abschluss der Trilogie Albumlänge haben. 30 Jahre nach ihrer Debüt- LP gehören New Jerseys feinste Hair-Metal- Brüder immer noch zum Besten, was man an der Schnittstelle zwischen Hard und Heavy finden kann. Von Anfang an haben die beiden Gitarristen Dave „Snake“ Sabo und Scotti Hill und ihr Bassist Rachel Bolan versucht, mit ihrer Musik die Welt zu erobern, mit der Bühne als Schlachtfeld und ihren Songs als Arsenal. Top-Ten-Singles, Nummer-Eins-Alben, Gold und Platin: Schnell hatten sie ihr Ziel erreicht und kämpften dann lieber untereinander, bis sie 1996 beschlossen, es gut sein zu lassen. Aber darauf konnten es die Freunde, die sie immer noch waren, nicht beruhen lassen. Also schlossen sich Skid Row wieder zusammen, um weiter zu rebellieren und neue Höhen zu erreichen. Nach der Reunion sind sie besser denn je. Insbesondere das zweite Kapitel ist von eine ungeheuren Kraft durchdrungen, was nicht zuletzt am neuen Drummer Rob Hammersmith liegt, der mit seiner Energie alle Mitglieder angesteckt hat. Jetzt also steht der dritte Teil an mit Sänger ZP Threat an, der schon seit Teenager-Tagen ein großer Fan war und für den mit seinem Engagement bei Skid Row und ein Traum in Erfüllung geht.

Once the effects of the new wave were fully absorbed, it became apparent that the world of singer-songwriters would never be the same again. A conceptual mood had taken over the scene, and that mood's predecessors were precisely the Bob Dylans, the Neil Youngs, the Leonard Cohens, the Tim Buckleys, the Joni Mitchells, who had not been the most popular stars of the 1970s. Instead, they became the reference point for a new generation of "auteurs". Women, in particular, regained the status of philosophical beings (and not only disco-divas or cute front singers) that they had enjoyed with the works of Carole King and Joni Mitchell. Suzy Gottlieb, better known as Phranc (1), was the (Los Angeles-based) songwriter who started the whole acoustic folk revival with her aptly-titled Folksinger (? 1984/? 1985 - nov 1985), whose protest themes and openly homosexual confessions earned her the nickname of "all-american jewish-lesbian folksinger". She embodied the historic meaning of that movement because she was a punkette (notably in Nervous Gender) before she became a folksinger, and because she continued to identify, more than anyone else, with her post- feminist and AIDS-stricken generation in elegies such as Take Off Your Swastika (1989) and Outta Here (1991).

You get the JoCo Cruise, and it’s an annual gathering for those who love sci-fi, games with many-sided dice and the musician Jonathan Coulton. By John Schwartz May 6, 2019 It is the first concert of the JoCo Cruise 2019, and things are going so wrong. The musicians can’t hear themselves sing. Instruments drop out at random. One of the performers, Jim Boggia, has lost his voice. Jonathan Coulton, the singer-songwriter for whom the cruise is named, grouses that it is a “train wreck on a boat.” They carry on, trying to wrestle a show from the mess. Mr. Boggia starts playing “When You Wish Upon a Star” on his ukulele and raspily invites us all to sing along. The assembled hundreds join in a mass mumble, but one woman’s voice stands out and confidently rises, clear and lovely. Paul Sabourin, another of the performers, hops off the stage and hands her a microphone. The performers complete the song to rousing cheers. I spot the singer. She is wearing extravagantly long elf ears. Now in its ninth year, the JoCo Cruise is a grand annual gathering of the nerd tribe. You may not have heard of Mr. Coulton, who left his job writing software in 2005 to explore a music career, but he has built a fervid online community of 1 of 14 What Happens When You Put 2,000 Nerds on a Boat? - The New..
