indie rock tour alla Ulster Hall il 29/1/07
Il "tradizionale" ShockWaves NME Awards Tour del New Musical Express raddoppia. Finora la serie di concerti organizzata dall'NME per promuovere nuovi gruppi in tutta la Gran Bretagna ed Irlanda è stata composta da un singolo tour, ma nel prossimo gennaio, forse per meglio rappresentare le maggiori tendenze musicali "coperte" dal settimanale, la carovana diventa doppia: da una parte ci sarà l'Indie rock tour, dall'altra l'Indie rave tour. "Quest'anno abbiamo voluto fare qualcosa di davvero speciale", ha affermato Conor McNicholas, direttore dell'NME, "in questo momento la scena offre tanti ottimi gruppi". L'Indie rock tour è composto da Horrors, View, Automatic e Mumm-Ra, l'Indie rave tour da Klaxons, CSS, Sunshine Underground e New Young Pony Club. Il primo inizierà il prossimo 29 gennaio dalla Ulster Hall di Belfast, il secondo il 3 febbraio dall'Ambassadors di Dublino; il primo arriverà a Londra il 23 febbraio, il secondo il giorno prima. "Fare l'Indie rave tour sarà una cosa incredibile", ha affermato Luiza Sà dei CSS. "Leggevo l'NME quando avevo 13 anni e mi scrivevo giù i nomi dei gruppi dei quali si parlava, così poi andavo a fare delle ricerche. Quindi fare una cosa simile mi sembra surreale".

Neil Cowley Trio - Wednesday 28th March, Bang 07 Festival
Neil Cowley (piano)
Richard Sadley (double bass)
Evan Jenkins (drums)

"One of the big jazz stories of the year" The Guardian

The UK's most exciting new talent, Neil Cowley is a thoroughly modern piano player with an impeccable touch. In 2006 The Neil Cowley Trio released their debut album, Displaced, prompting the Guardian to claim the trio as 'one of the big jazz stories of the year', and The Independent to suggest 'Stardom beckons…' With inspirations as diverse as Shostakovich, Ahmad Jamal, Frank Zappa, Errol Garner, Taraf de Haidouks. Music of energy and emotional infectiousness underpin Cowley's tremendous flair for creating beautiful, sometimes forceful melodies.

The Books - Friday 18th May, The Black Box

"I have been listening to a band recently called The Books and they make me fucking angry. I think 'I should have done that!' That's when I know I am really impressed by something. Some of their things are a bit of a mess, but the best things they've done are absolutely outstanding. It puts everything else in the shade. That's the benchmark, that kind of originality and attention to detail." Brian Eno


Obsessive, immaculate, organic and sometime absurd, American band The Books are a unique proposition. Their confoundingly beautiful music makes references meaningless, taking in lo-fi banjo and guitar Americana, precise electronica, cut-up bluegrass and surreal samples. The Books' 2006 release, Lost and Found (Tomlab), has become an international sensation and was chosen as album of the year by both Pitchfork and The Wire.

I Led Zeppelin live a Belfast nel 2009


Fonte: repubblica.it



Dopo aver annunciato il concerto per la reunion del 26 novembre alla O2 Arena di Londra, i Led Zeppelin potrebbero esibirsi una seconda volta a Belfast, nel 2009.

Lo rivela il Belfast Telegraph, spiegando che Robert Plant, vocalist della storica band inglese, vuole riportare i Led Zep alla Ulster Hall, dove per la prima volta, nella primavera del 1971, suonarono la loro canzone più famosa, ‘Stairway to heaven’. L’impianto nordirlandese è al momento in ristrutturazione: riaprirà i battenti nel 2008, e gli organizzatori si sono detti entusiasti dall’idea di poter ospitare, tra due anni, un concerto di portata mondiale.

Belfast City Spektra by Andrea ‘Aska’ Varacalli.

BELFASKATING: a wider project to investigate the impact of post-conflict in Northern Ireland through the eyes of the new generation. The research and related issue move from an innovative approach to understand the legacies of a dualistic society in a “new shared future” Era. The project is articulated within a sub-cultural urban context and aims, with the use of visual and audio-interview materials, to portray the “third way to integration”. Acknowledging that the personal and social development is a central theme in the delivery of youth work and identifying some core principles that should subvert some of stereotypes linked to the classification “Youths”, Belfaskating intends to represent an alternative methodological Art step in the direction of exploratory and experimental study.

***

Andrea’s shots open a window on a world that begs to differ. The world of a generation forgotten by the contradictions and confusion of a city still recovering from a conflict. This is a brave attempt to speak the same language as Belfast’s young people, to understand their visual creativity. The shots compose a fluid narrative of urban adolescence and youth. Stories are told by mean of gestures, expressions and clothing. Despite being from different tribes, the characters of this unfolding stories merge under the common denominator of skateboarding. Skating is the privileged language chosen by these people to cry out their will to be different. Every piercing, make up, hairstyle, skin cut and piece of clothing is a statement in favour of this difference. These young people managed to create lore of personal stories that, once narrated by their own voices, will try to fill the moral emptiness created by the society of their parents. It is not only a rebellion: it is a creative act, the attempt to construct a reality easy to understand and forgive. Therefore, skating along a wall of graffiti and division has a powerful symbolic meaning. It is the re-appropriation of a territory that has been taken away from them. They are the squatters of those city squares and streets, and they have the right to be there.

After looking at the images, one feels the urge to hear the stories from the kids themselves: their stories of hopes and disillusionment , of pain and self-harm behind those smiles. It is time to start paying attention to them, to give them credit for their refusal to sit back and disappear. Andrea’s photographs gave them voice. Now it is our turn to listen.
