Sziget Festival @ Budapest

*Lily Allen (uk), The Offspring (us), La Fura deis Baus (sp)

Every August, hundreds of thousands of Euro kids make the pilgrimage to Budapest’s leafy Old-Buda Island for a musical gathering of Buddha-size proportions. Hailed as “the most colorful, biggest and cheapest festival in Central Europe”, Sziget hosts more than 1,000 performances, with this year’s line-up including main stage acts like Lilly Allen and The Offspring. What makes Sziget special is its wide range of entertainment that includes a World Music Stage, Rock Stage, Party Arena, art exhibitions, classical music, jazz, and even a stunning performance each night by Barcelona’s La Fura deis Baus which features a “macroshow” of dozens of spinning acrobats and a three story tower with giant wheel. Enough said.

Saturday 02:  Church of Confidence (de), The Grit (uk), Pipes & Pints (cz/us) @ Exit Chmelnice (20:00)

Founded in Berlin in 1995, Church Of Confidence combined Punk and Rock’n’Roll, just to find out, that with this mixture they were way ahead of their time.
With their latest album “Takin Over”, they continued to combine late 70’s Punk Rock, early 70’s Glam-Rock and the wild energy of their 50’s Rock’n’Roll heroes, creating their own style, which as the album title implies relates the most important decades of underground rock: The Clash meet The Slade meet Gene Vincent. Pipes and Pints is more than a band. It’s a concept; Punk-rock and Highland bagpipes!
Their live act is an ass-kicking experience that will certainly lift up your mood and make your heads bang without even realizing it.
 


Health (us), Fiat Eno (cz) @ 007 (20:00) promoted by A.M. 180 Collective and Bohemian Like You

Health is an experimental band consisting of four members including Benjamin Jared Miller, Jake Duzsik, John Famiglietti, and Jupiter Keyes. All are from different cities including Seattle, San Diego, and Los Angeles, but their current home base is Los Angeles. Jake met Jupiter in college. John met Jake in a guitar store. Jared was drawn to the fold by way of Internet courtship. The band is oftentimes considered noise rock, but besides having some slight elements of the genre, they don’t fit the sound of other, current bands included in the noise rock scene, due to them mixing such genres as dance and electronica.

Tracy`O

The project is based on a story which is split in different parts and music structures these pieces. This allows to play between narration and proper songs. This is a memory work and a reconstruction attempt. It is about desire, a restless wandering, an escape, an awakening and a fight. That's the story of human being, man, woman, dreams and beliefs. The quest of the Infinite takes shape through the emotional motion of Tracy'O.

@ Klub 007 Strahov

 

 

 

"Gay Beast are from Minneapolis and claim a 'neo-wave' sound which is about a decade and a few hundred miles removed from Chicago's now wave 'explosion', and they use that time and distance to their advantage. At times I am reminded of Karate Party, Devo, Brianiac, Lovely Little Girls, and Lake of Dracula, but that recall comes in tiny pieces, small chunks in a bigger platter. And all that is good, and better that Gay Beast studiously avoids aural polish. There is a nice film of filth on this recording. If this is how they sound live: Wow!" -SS (Z-Gun http://z-gun.org)

World Bodypainting @ AT

The concept of a living-canvas is fully realized in this fantastical choreography of music, art and performance. This festival is a dynamic meeting place for lovers of body art, circus and painting. For a decade now, artists from up to 40 nations have made an annual pilgrimage to the small town of Seeboden in southern Austria to participate in workshop classes ranging from face painting to special effects. One of the major highlights is ‘Bodycircus’, a fantasy-themed costume ball held in a 13th century medieval castle on July 15th, featuring performers and spectators in extreme make-up and boundary-busting fashion.

With three floors of music, international DJ’s, costume prizes and ongoing entertainment, this year's Bodycircus promises to be an evening of profound magic and unprecedented activities. Photographers are invited to compete for the “World Bodypainting Photo Award”. An international jury will then select the best works, culminating in the printing of a high quality catalog to commemorate the event.

Cost: Day tickets 9€, incl. night program
Seeboden, Austria

Popaganda - Pop Art Meets Propaganda @ Mad Bar (19:30) until July 13th

Popaganda - Pop Art Meets Propaganda - is the theme for BRUTE! artist Aidan Hughes' first exhibition in Prague.
Renowned for his artwork for legendary industrialists KMFDM, Hughes will be showing a selection of brash and dynamic prints, canvases and skate decks and enjoying the free buffet.

Aidan Hughes is a commercial artist. He was born in 1956 in Merseyside, England, and was trained as an artist by his father, himself a landscape painter.

In the 1980s, Hughes published a pulp-style magazine called BRUTE! which earned him notoriety. "Brute" has become an occasional pseudonym for Hughes as well.
Hughes usually works in a very high contrast style, often black and white, but more often black and white accented with one other color. He claims influence from American comic book artist Jack Kirby, John Martin, and (most apparently) from Russian propaganda posters.
Aidan Hughes is best known for creating most of the album covers for the industrial band KMFDM. Two of KMFDM's music videos ("A Drug Against War," "Son of a Gun") were animated versions of Hughes's artwork. Hughes's KMFDM pieces mostly depict violent or sexual scenes, either explicit or implicit, and often has themes of domination, or repression.
His other work has included outdoor murals, including the 75 metre mural in Barga Italy during 2003[1] which has since been covered over with an earth bank; and a wide variety of advertisements, including pieces for the Bank of Scotland, and Guinness.
Hughes is credited for the art design and concept of ZPC (Zero Population Count)[2][3], a first-person shooter computer game developed in 1996 using the Marathon 2 engine.

Dave Holland Quintet @ Lucerna

The Dave Holland Quintet was born in 1983 (the first incarnation of the band) on the album, Jumpin’ In. The original 1980s quintet (which had no chordal instruments—only bass, drums, and brass and reed instruments) went on to record two more albums after that. In 1997, Holland formed a second quintet, one which would gain more recognition and accolades over the course of its career (which still continues to this day), including multiple Grammy nominations and wins. The current quintet includes Robin Eubanks on trombone and cowbell; Steve Nelson on marimba and vibraphone; Chris Potter on saxophones; and Nate Smith on drums. Their music is a mixture of progressive-minded modern post-bop and avant-garde jazz, characteristically with asymmetrical rhythms and creative harmonies.

.

Inspired by the melodic punk wave of the nineties, Antillectual kicks off in September 2000.People like to call Antillectuals music fast, aggressive and melodic punk rock with strong and critical lyrics. People that are into Antillectual, happen to enjoy Propagandhi, Strike Anywhere, Rise Against and the like, for both music and content. Antillectuals lyrics discuss personal experiences in life and political opinions. Items in their songs are, among many others, universal issues as intolerance, imperialism, globalization and so on.

The Creepshow (can), Green Monster (cz), Queens Of Everything (cz) @ Futurum (20:00) promoted by Ladrogang and Sanctuary.cz

The Creepshow is a psychobilly band from Burlington, Ontario; Canada. The band formed in 2005 when the four members (Hellcat, Sickboy, McGinty, and Pomade) got together with the purpose of starting a hellbilly band. The Creepshow writes the majority of their songs about Horror Films, with the music fitting the horror punk genre. The Creepshow is known for their fast-paced songs filled with lots of backup vocals from McNab and Rowles and sing-along’s that the whole crowd can participate in. The band is also known for their exciting live shows.

The story about Green Monster starts around the turn of the century when the Cosmo’s old band formation Los Banditos broke up because things weren’t working out. But one night after couple of drinks Cosmo asked Tomas to play with him on the doublebass. The next few months was a real trial; they were without a good rockin’ drummer, without a band practice room, and everything moved along very, very slowly for the band. But now they are complete, with about 30 songs on the rack, and they are ready to raise hell in psychobilly Europe…

The Queens of Everything are a punk/rockabilly project with members of long gone bands like BadTones, Flaming Cocks, Unity and 2v1. Having a diverse musical background they incorporate various instigations into a horn section driven mix of rockabilly tradition and punkrock drive.

CCTV Allstars @ Chapeau (20:30)

CCTV Allstars blend ska, folk, reggae, and rock to form a unique musical fusion. Ed, the singer and song writer, guitarist and composer, founded this band of troublemakers with the intent to bridge gaps between musical culture and society as a whole - together in a danceable manner. The name CCTV Allstars was chosen to raise awareness of the amount of forced-control imposed on society by governments and conglomerate corporations, and also to raise awareness of the dissolution of our civil liberties. CCTV Allstars was not meant to mean that the band are allstars, but it is to mean that everyone is a star because we are all being watched by government cameras. The completely international band consists of:

Ed (uk) - guitar & lead vocals
Ulf (swe) - bass guitar & supporting vocals
Stepan (cz) - trombone & supporting vocals
Tom (us) - trumpet & supporting vocals
Nina (sk) - violin
Omar (mex) - drum & backing vocals

9viet - multikulturní večírek @ Hala C (18:00)

We invite you to a project to reflect the current events, regarding the situation of Czech-Vietnamese relationships in the Czech Republic, in a bit lightweight and humorous way. We'll try to find a reason to these events, not only the ones in the past few months (see the fire in November, successive police raids on Vietnamese markets, which aroused a scandal and a shock-not just cultural, but rather human), respond to allegations of excessive crimes (the alleged murder of a higher concentration of the desktop market ) and the seemingly funny reports on Vietnamese, who switched from the market for marijuana. (edited after translation via google translate)

Zveme vás na projekt reflektující současné dění, aktuální situaci česko-vietnamského soužití na území ČR, trochu odlehčenou a humornou formou. Reagujeme na události nejen posledních měsíců (viz. listopadový požár v Sapě, následné policejní razie ve vietnamských tržnicích, které vzbudily skandál a šok-ne zrovna kulturní, ale spíš lidský), reagujeme na obvinění z nadměrné kriminality (údajné vyšší koncentraci vražd na ploše tržnic) a na zdánlivě úsměvné zprávy o Vietnamcích, kteří se přeorientovali z tržnic na marihuanové pěstírny.

Vstup zdarma!!! Free entrance!!!
 
Program:

18.00-19.00    Vernisáž fotografií z projektu Sapa: město ve městě

Ocean Vs. Daughter (cz), The Sads (cz) @ Chapeau (20:30)

According to Ken Nash - as stated on their myspace page -, Ocean Vs. Daughter sounds like: How many times have you been alone in the jungle and heard someone pretending to be an airplane or an old carnival hand? You can relive that experience during a live performance of Ocean Versus Daughter. Acclaimed as one of Prague’s most important indie bands, their music has been called “acoustic rococo architecture with that kielbasa smell.” If there is one performance you will see during a visit to the Golden City, it would be “Carmina Burana: Louder and Darker” but Ocean Versus Daughter would be the next best thing.

The Sads are a Prague-based rock and roll/country band. Their melancholy melodies, combined with their lofi-indie sound, is compared most often with that of The Silver Jews or The Magnetic Fields.

Singer and guitarist Steven Rusling is responsible for the lyrical and musical composition, though Matt Ford's bellowing cello most defines their sound. The drummer Mark Tierney produces lush, orchestral sounds from a snare drum and busted cymbal. Nick Jennings' rhythmic bass provides the music a spine, while Marc Cram offers counter melodies on guitar and saxophone.

RGM Live Space: Model Bazaar, ZIMA, Jananas, The Wavemen and Černá mutace @ Palác Akropolis (18:00)

Model Bazaar was founded in October 2007 as a will of two gentlemen who wanted to play a lot but were a bit tired of dragging their heavy amplifiers deserts and seas and of hunting for huge cars for huge prices which are able to take the whole band. With this simple concept there is no place between the Mt.Everest and the Mariana trench they won’t be able to gig in and their biggest worry might / will be not to miss the right train.

 

The Love of Everything (us), Ora Cogan (can), Paletazo (us) @ 007 (19:30) promoted by A.M. 180 collective

Though Bobby Burg has plenty to keep him occupied between playing in Make Believe and Joan of Arc and managing his own label, ‘Record Label’, he still finds ample time for his longest standing band to date, Love of Everything.

Love of Everything’s formula of raw grown-up lyrics with childlike toy keyboard and nursery rhyme rhythms remains intact and this collection of songs works hard to develop the experimental themes presented in past releases. Fans will recognize many of these songs from his unforgettable live solo shows where he builds a wall of sound with simple instruments and a looping pedal until he finally starts singing, hushing audiences with the initial surprise of words after the lengthy process of creating the sound of a full band.

The Adicts (uk), Texas Terri Bomb! (us/de), Tight Finks (ch) @ Futurum (20:00) promoted by Ladrogang

The Adicts are an English Punk rock band from Ipswich, Suffolk. They began life as the Afterbirth & The Pinz, in their hometown of Ipswich in late 1975. Popular in the 1980s, they were often in the indie charts at that time.
They soon changed their name to The Adicts and became known for their distinctive Clockwork Orange ‘Droog’ image, which, along with their urgent, uptempo music and light-hearted lyrics, helped set them very much apart from the rest of the genre.

Texas Terri, born Terri Laird is a punk rock singer and songwriter originally from Austin, Texas. She has been in the rock ‘n’ roll business for over two decades.
Terri has been compared to Iggy Pop, Lux Interior, Mick Jagger and Wendy O Williams amongst others by the music press. Like Williams, who coincidentally committed suicide on Terri’s birthday, she has developed a reputation for wild, scantily clad stage antics including regular performances where she would rip off her shirt to only be censored by electrical tape reading ‘TXT’ (her preferred shortening of her name).

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead (us), Gringo Star (us) @ Roxy (19:00) promoted by DSMACKU

…And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead is an indie rock band best known for their heavy yet anthemic music and their tendency to destroy their equipment at the end of their performances (a rock and roll tradition usually associated with The Who). According to the band’s website, the name “…And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead” is taken from both an ancient Mayan ritual chant and an Egyptian burial text. Band members have also claimed that they made it up because it sounded cool and discovered the association after the fact.

Oskar Dawicki - Tribute to All People of Film, 2006 Cinematic Projection is the reconstruction of a film screening assembled into a single whole with separate components constitutive for the conventional cinema show. It consists of the following: a trailer (Pawel Althamer), the starting numbers (Pawel Kwiek), film studios” title sequences (Maurycy Gomulicki & Ilian Gonzalez), a film “story” (Zbigniew Libera reconstructing Pawel Kwiek’s performance project), the caption “The End” (Robert Szczerbowski), and the closing credits (Oskar Dawicki). Cinematic Projection is an attempt to revitalise conceptual the “spoken” films made in Poland in the 1970s by Pawel Kwiek and Andrzej Dluzniewski whose goal was to provoke mental projections in the viewer”s imagination. “Films” whose tradition dates back to the first modern avant-garde, and especially its dadaist-surrealist variety represented, for instance, by the Belgrade-based Hypnists and their “radio-cinematographic poems”, but also by the futurist poets who saw writing as a kind of cinematographic practice

Casiotone for the Painfully Alone (us), Concern (us) @ 007 (19:30) promoted by A.M.180 collective

Casiotone for the Painfully Alone (CFTPA) is the beats-and-keys solo project of singer, songwriter and Chicago resident, Owen Ashworth. Drawing heavy influence from traditional Americana as well as 80’s synth pop and commercial hip hop, the music of CFTPA is a curious mix of austere character studies and playful electronic programming.

Owen Ashworth started to make music on a small casio keyboard back in 1997. His first two albums, “Answering Machine Music” and “Pocket Symphonies for Lonely Subway Cars,” were made using nothing but small, battery-operated keyboards and Ashworth’s own voice (along with occasional accompaniment by guest musicians).

Stimul Fest: Butthole Surfers (us), Black Dice (us), Zkouška Sirén (cz) @ Divadlo Archa (19:30)

The legendary American psychedelic band returns to the stage!

The Buttholes’ legendary members, who last played together in 1989, have reunited: Gibby Haynes (vocals, effects, sax), Paul Leary (guitar, vocals), King Coffey (drums), Jeff Pinkus (bass) and Teresa Taylor Nervosa (percussion).
Since forming in San Antonio, Texas at the end of the 1970s, these founders of modern American psychedelic managed to develop their rock sound to incorporate the most diverse genres, from punk and hardcore, to western country, Americana and folk, to dance electronica. But they never lost their characteristic sound framed mainly by Haynes’ psychotic vocals and Leary’s inimitable guitar.
Though The Butthole Surfers have never become part of the mainstream, they were a commercially successful band in the 1990s.

Buena Vista Social Club (cu) @ Kongresové Centrum (20:00)

The Buena Vista Social Club was the name of a members-only music club in Havana, Cuba that was at its height during the 1940s. In the late 1990s Wim Wenders made a movie upon the initiative of Ry Cooder called “The Buena Vista Social Club.” Wenders film centered on Ry Cooder’s efforts to find and reunite some of the musicians who had performed at the long closed club. The film also portrays sessions from the production of the album released in 1997 also titled Buena Vista Social Club. Both movie and album were highly successful, and expanded the reach of Cuban music around the world.

Highly praised during the 40s and 50s, the rediscovery of the Buena Vista Social Club and the populartity of the film and the album had positive impact on Cuban musicians throughout the world. If it was not for the initiative of Ry Cooder and Wenders, much of the world would not have had this insight into Cuba’s rich musical history, and insight into the simple way of life of these otherwise forgotten musicians.

Prague Ska Conspiracy (cz), Queens of Everything (cz) @ Roxy (19:30)

Within less than a year of their existance, the band has played several festivals and were chosen to play with such acts as New York Ska Jazz Ensemble, The Slackers or The Fisbone.

The Sisters of Mercy (uk) @ Divadlo Archa - a Charmmusic Production

ImageOne of England’s leading goth bands of the 1980s and originating from Leeds, the Sisters of Mercy play a slow, gloomy, ponderous hybrid of rock and psychedelia, often incorporating dance beats; the one constant in the band’s career has been deep-voiced singer Andrew Eldritch. The band is named after the Leonard Cohen song “PlaySisters of Mercy” according to Eldritch. The band originally formed in 1980 with guitarist Gary Marx and drummer-turned-vocalist Eldritch. Dr. Avalanche, the drum machine, joined them on their second single Alice. Guitarist Ben Gunn and bassist Craig Adams were added to make live gigs feasible, and the Sisters built a reputation through several singles and EPs. Gunn left the band in 1983 and was replaced by Wayne Hussey.

Alasdair Bouch & The Émigrés @ RedRoom (20.30)

Image"[Alasdair's] singing is terrific. A bit too terrific actually – as if the ghost of Otis Redding has stumbled into the room after 48 hours of non-stop fags and shagging."  The Guardian

Well, after this description there's no excuse to stay at home - unless you're not a shag/fag fancier and for you Otis Redding is just some bloke that reads in elevators (a bit far fetched... I know).

Alasdair teamed up with The Émigrés to spread electric blues, fiery ballads, eclectic covers and some fearsome original material; just the perfect ambience for another cosy night at RedRoom.
