We’ve always had to fit the band around the other things in our lives. We all have full-time jobs. “As far as this year goes we basically plan to write and record a new album.

  • Music and the American Civil War
    “LIBERTY’S GREAT AUXILIARY”: MUSIC AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR by CHRISTIAN MCWHIRTER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2009 Copyright Christian McWhirter 2009 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Music was almost omnipresent during the American Civil War. Soldiers, civilians, and slaves listened to and performed popular songs almost constantly. The heightened political and emotional climate of the war created a need for Americans to express themselves in a variety of ways, and music was one of the best. It did not require a high level of literacy and it could be performed in groups to ensure that the ideas embedded in each song immediately reached a large audience. Previous studies of Civil War music have focused on the music itself. Historians and musicologists have examined the types of songs published during the war and considered how they reflected the popular mood of northerners and southerners. This study utilizes the letters, diaries, memoirs, and newspapers of the 1860s to delve deeper and determine what roles music played in Civil War America. This study begins by examining the explosion of professional and amateur music that accompanied the onset of the Civil War. Of the songs produced by this explosion, the most popular and resonant were those that addressed the political causes of the war and were adopted as the rallying cries of northerners and southerners. All classes of Americans used songs in a variety of ways, and this study specifically examines the role of music on the home-front, in the armies, and among African Americans.

  • Alt-Nation: Joe Moody, Electric Six and Handsome Pete
    Alt-Nation: Joe Moody, Electric Six and Handsome Pete When local studio owner Joe Moody passed away earlier this year it left a gaping wound in the heart of the local music community. Through his Danger Studio, Joe recorded hundreds of aspiring musicians across multiple genres. He gave many artists the opportunity to give voice to their dreams by documenting their work on a recording. In Joe’s honor, a motley collection of Providence metal titans will be reuniting to play together for the first time since 1997. Some of these bands — like Shed — have never done a reunion show! Kilgore Smudge vocalist Jay Berndt was kind enough to take some time to answer a few questions on the show, Kilgore and what he is up to now. Marc Clarkin: Can you talk about Joe Moody’s influence on your music career? Jay Berndt: With all the recording studios I’ve been in, Joe was easily the nicest, sweetest guy to work with. He had this immediate way of putting you at ease. And let’s face it: Musicians can be delicate creatures, especially under the microscope in the studio. When we first recorded our Spill demo with Joe in August 1993, we had never been in a recording studio. The whole recording process can be incredibly intimidating and Joe really helped build all of our confidence as songwriters and musicians. He just made the whole process interesting and fun. We recorded, overdubbed and mixed the 10 songs on Spill in 14 hours, which is just unheard of. It also fostered our love of recording because of that amazing first experience with Joe.

  • PRESSEMITTEILUNG 17.07.2019 Friendly Fires Spielen Exklusive
    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 17.07.2019 Friendly Fires spielen exklusive Show im Berliner Musik & Frieden Acht Jahre sind seit dem letzten Album „Pala“ der Friendly Fires vergangen. Dabei hat das Synthie-Pop-Trio aus Hertfordshire einen Aufstieg sondergleichen hingelegt. Schon das Debütalbum wurde für alles nominiert, was wichtig ist: NME Awards, Brit Award, Mercury Prize, just name it. Ursprünglich kamen Ed Macfarlane, Jack Savidge und Edd Gibson aus dem Hardcore, bevor sie auf ihrem selbstbetitelten Debüt den Beweis antraten, dass Dance, Electro und Disco auf der einen, Indie und Post-Punk auf der anderen Seite gar keine Widersprüche sein müssen. Es folgte mit der erwähnten letzten Platte „Pala“ ein Hybrid aus coolem Sommerbrisen-Sound, Oldschool-Disco und hedonistischer Demo „that sounds more like a ten minute holiday on a white yacht“, wie Friendly Fires es selbst einmal bezeichneten. Umjubelte Auftritte rund um die Welt und auf allen großen Festivals bewiesen, dass solche Aussagen keinesfalls übertrieben sind. Es folgten noch ein, zwei Statements: Man wolle sich neuer Musik zuwenden, hieß es von der Band, keinesfalls ein weiteres Pop-Album wie „Pala“ aufnehmen – danach war Ruhe. Und dann, wie aus dem Nichts, erschienen im vergangenen Jahr die Singles „Love Like Waves“ und „Heaven Let Me In“– co-produziert übrigens mit den alten Helden von Disclosure – und eben erst „Lack Of Love“ und „Silhouettes“. Es folgte ein legendärer Auftritt beim Glastonbury Festival, und alle wussten mit einen Schlag: Friendly Fires sind zurück. Im August erscheint mit „Inflorescent“ die dritte Platte voller cooler Tanzmusik, die abwechselnd wie ein Rücksturz in die 80er daherkommt, um dann wieder mit modernen Beats die Zukunft zu pumpen.

It has endured in the face of the changing times, without itself changing much, isolated off in its own world. Glorfindel had the opinion that Bombadil would be the last to fall, after all else was lost, last as he was first. In Tolkien’s story, that opinion was never tested. Good triumphed over evil, and everyone lived happily ever after. Not true on the Internet. Since 1993, the forces of evil have created a desolation and oppression that Sauron even with the help of his ruling ring could not imagine perpetrating. From the days of the Internet as an academic research network until today’s Internet I have witnessed ruination unbelieveable. The decay, corruption, and runiation of the Internet boggles my mind. Like Tom Bombadil in his carefully demarcated borders, The Genesis Discography has been an island in the storm, surrounded on all sides but never giving in.

    “There is no greater advert for London as a creative, multicultural, party-loving city than Lovebox” - The Times Overveiw Introduction Lovebox is London’s own festival. Over the past 11 years, it has been embraced by the capital’s most stylish and influential party people and cemented it’s place at the heart of London’s bristling social summer calendar. No festival better captures the inclusiveness and multicultural beauty that London represents or the cultural breadth and depth that makes London first among its worldwide City equals. A dozen summers since it first set sail on Clapham Common, 2014 heralds a new chapter in the ever-evolving story of Lovebox. From Roxy Music to Snoop Dogg, from the music of Manu Chao to the flamboyance of Florence and the Machine, Victoria Park has hosted a decade of sun-drenched shows under the Lovebox banner. This coming July, Lovebox is being joined by Secret Productions (co-organisers of Wilderness and Secret Garden Party 2009-2013). In doing so, a larger family is being built to choreograph a new creative vision for Lovebox 2014. Now spanning two days, an urban revival is once again on its way. Lovebox is returning as a true celebration of festival culture, right in the heart of the City. Demographic Demographic Core - 18–35 Fans of all genres of live music who also enjoy going to clubs, gigs and festivals with friends, highly engaged with technology, media savvy, with an interest in arts and culture ABC1/B2 Male/ Female: 50% / 50% Total attendance 2013 – 70,000 Location Victoria Park boasts a perfect location, set between Bethnal Green, Hackney and Bow, three of the capital’s most socially dynamic and creative quarters.

  • Identity, Cosmopolitanism and Education in Extreme Metal Bands: the Case of Finland
    Historia y Memoria de la Educación 12 (2020): 303-332 Sociedad Española de Historia de la Educación ISSN: 2444-0043 DOI: 10.5944/hme.12.2020.26507 IDENTITY, COSMOPOLITANISM AND EDUCATION IN EXTREME METAL BANDS: THE CASE OF FINLAND Identidad, cosmopolitismo y educación en las bandas de metal extremo: el caso de Finlandia Eugenio Otero Urtazaα Reception date: 22/01/2020 • Acceptation date: 08/03/2020 Abstract. Music is an art that often defines the education and values of peo- ple. Extreme Metal is a controversial musical genre that at times, in some of its subgenres, has caused episodes of exceptional violence. Metalheads make up a cultural movement that is present on all conti- nents. Metal movements are difficult to dissolve in the magma of social acceptance: they create a consciousness of transnational solidarity, of response to waste and ostentation that destroys the planet, while claim- ing the place in which it is lived. Extreme Metal is not an artistic fashion, it is profoundly changing the mentality of many young people who reject the social organisation of the capitalist and Christian world and try to find alternatives for the future. In this article we ask how their convic- tions are formed and in what way the school’s teachings influence them. One of the ways of studying the phenomenon is by analysing the lyrics of the songs. Not all subgenres can be covered and three Melodic Death Metal bands from Finland have been chosen for study, especially in rela- tion to their feelings about nature and the cosmos. It is evident that their songs are often based on classical and popular poems learned at school, by the legacy left by the great Finnish poets, and even by the literary cre- ations of musicians for that school resonance.
