Umro "pravi
peti Beatle" - Neil Aspinall
Umro
je, u 66. godini zivota, Neil Aspinall. Desilo se to u New
Yorku, 24.03.2008. godine, nakon krace bolesti. Aspinall
je rukovodio kompanijom "Apple Corps", u vlasnistvu
grupe The Beatles i pjevao je u horu za njihovu pjesmu "Yellow
Submarine". U muzickim vodama je bio poznat kao "stvarni
peti Beatle". Malo je ljudi na svijetu toliko bilo upoznato
sa djelovanjem te grupe. Bio je dugogodisnji prijatelj Sir
Paul McCartneya. U izjavi izdatoj od strane "Apple Corps",
McCartney i Ringo Starr su ga opisali kao velikog covjeka.
Aspinall je sa McCartneyom i George Harrisonom pohadjao istu
skolu - Liverpool Institute for Boys. Odlucio je ne ici na
fakultet pridruzujuci se grupi The Beatles kao njihov road
manager i personal assistant, cesto ih vozeci sa nastupa
na nastup u rasklimanom plavom kombiju. Iako nije imao muzicko
obrazovanje, Aspinall je svirao percussion instrumente na
albumu grupe The Beatles, "Magical Mystery Tour".
Kada su "Fab Four" postali slavni, on je prihvatio
ulogu managera u izdavackoj kuci grupe The Beatles - "Apple
Corps" obecavsi da ce tu ostati "dok ne pronadju
nekog drugog". Medjutim, Aspinall je na toj radnoj poziciji
ostao skoro 40 godina. Njegova uloga je znatno "ojacala" po
raspadu te grupe kada je radio na pravnoj zastiti njenih
interesa (odrzavajuci uspjesnost branda The Beatles - stiteci
njihova prava na foto i video materiale i tako dalje). Kao
celnik kompanije "Apple Corps" zasluzan je i za
izdavanje tri uspjesna antologijska izdanja grupe The Beatles.

Mark
Lucas and the Dead Setters (AUS) - Portrait
Mark
Lucas & the Dead Setters are country / folk / blues band
from Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Four distinctive
albums into a solo career and former Parwills main man, Mark
Lucas idiosyncratic but accessible urban roots / country
has gained a strong fan-base, particularly with other musicians.
The songs on new album, "Sideshow Alley" (see photo),
continue to develop the thread of themes that have tied together
the previous albums and have inspired critics and fans alike.
Mark's band, the Dead Setters, provides a distinctive musical
backdrop described by Kim Cheshire in Country Update Magazine
as "...a near perfect musical setting for these distinctly
Australian tales of restless souls, ghosts of the past, desert
vistas and suburban angst." Between them one of the
most experienced bands you are likely to encounter, the five
piece Dead Setters stake out their territory with textured
layers of fiddle, mandolin and pedal steel, backed with strong
three part harmonies. With shades of Celtic, Americana folk
/ pop / rock'n'roll soaking through the fabric, this is living
Australian roots music. ...and if you like your roots music
to have that edgy, lived-in quality that keeps a foot in
both the traditional and the contemporary, Mark Lucas & the
Dead Setters, armed with a broad musical palette and an insurgent
but humorous demeanour, should be right up your alley...
Band features: Mark Lucas - songwriting, vocals, guitars,
cooking & bottle washing; Chris Mearns - bass, vocals,
light aircraft & positive thinking; John Lee - fiddle,
mountaineering & genetic engineering; Steve Gunning -
drums, vocals & haberdashery; Damien ODell - pedal steel
guitar, guitar, mountaineering & Chrysler Chargers. Web

Psycho-Path,
rock / indie / other, Prekmurje, Slovenia. Sexy, heavy, sonic!
With their unique brand of alternative rock, fronted by a
charismatic singer, two powerful guitars and a tight rhythm
section, Psycho-Path is a formidable force live on stage.
No pretention - eclectic, honest, sweaty, sexy and very guitar-laden.
Together since 1993, Psycho-Path have gained a lot of respect
on the scene. Even from such prolific artists as Scott McCloud,
Dälek, Josh Homme and many more. Touring all over Europe
and with 4 full length albums (with the 5th released in March
2008), this is a band with experience. In July 2007, the
band entered the studio with producer Bobby MacIntyre (ex
- member of The Twilight Singers, also worked with Bad Brains,
Jimmy Girl, Lucinda Williams, Mark Lanegan...) to record
their fifth full-length album. Late night sessions, drinking
too much whiskey, half-awake percussion recordings, tambourine
overdose, metronomes gone amok... The final result? "The
Ass-Soul of Psycho-Path". The first album recorded with
the new line up and the most varied, eclectic, yet accessible
Psycho-Path album to date. Also featuring a special guest
on the back vocals, on the epic 'Bekkognition' - Scott Bennett
(Brian Wilson's band, also worked with Flaming Lips, Filter,
The Smashing Pumpkins, Liz Phair, The Twilight Singers...).
The band met up with the independent multi-genre label Moonlee
Records in 2007 and decided to join forces and release their
new album with them in 2008. Since both parties work with
a DIY aesthetic, yet still think a few steps ahead, this
is a logical union of some of the most active and hardworking
individuals in the scene. "The Ass-Soul of Psycho-Path" is
released in March 2008 on Moonlee Records, with a promotional
tour all over Europe to follow. Check 'em out live. Web

Red
Run is alternative / rock band from Brazil. Everything began
in 2005, when Thiago Montana and Andersson Bandini decided
to create an alternative rock band, called Redrum in the
beginning, and then Red Run. To compose this gang, Davy Rider,
ex-drummer of a 99's punk rock band called Havana, joined
the team. Many bassists came and had to go until Tony Vegas,
very close friend of them and who had played in another band
with Bandini, came to complete this plot. ... Red Run mixes
influences from punk rock, alternative rock, new wave, but
always trying to consolidate its own sound with a little
of taste from everything in the musical scene. The band objective
doesn't refer exclusively to music, but, in fact, to the
whole life context, underground films, and the dirty and
decadent underworld which our minds can absorb. Red Run takes
the intent and the essence of the soul from who taught us
that Art must be made with passion. Red Run features: Andersson
Bandini (guitar) Davy (drums) Thiago Montana (guitar, vocals)
Deivy Hell (bass). Web adresa grupe - www.myspace.com/redrun .

Sastav
Trigger svoje postojanje je zapoceo zeljom nekoliko prijatelja
rade na stilski i kvalitativno drugacijem materijalu u poredjenju
sa onim sto je uobicajeno na ovim prostorima. Oko ovog jezgra
se okupio ostatak benda i nakon nekoliko godina rada na albumu,
prvenac, "Ljubav", ugledao je svetlost dana u izdanju
beogradskog PGP RTS-a. U pitanju je konceptualan album o
tamnijoj, negativnoj strani ljubavi kao necega sto sustinski
obelezava zivot svakog coveka. Muzika sa albuma spaja mnogo
razlicitih muzickih zanrova bez ikakvog ogranicavanja, ali
tako da pesme i dalje ocuvaju jasnu teksualnu i muzicku formu.
Vizuelno resenje albuma, koje je dizajnirao Vladimir Petrovic,
sledi isti koncept - simbolima predstavljajuci psiholosku
pozadinu koja stoji iza stihova pesama. Posebna paznja je
posvecena muzickoj produkciji albuma. Producent je bio Goran
Simprag. Prvi video singl sa albuma je spot za pesmu "Jedan
dan" koji je poceo sa emitovanjem pocetkom jeseni 2007.
i imao je zapazen uspeh i usao u izbor za godisnji Top 10
TV Metropolis i "Best of 2007" listu na TV MTS.
Grupa je dobila i priznanje "Otkrice godine" u
okviru godisnje dodele nagrada TV Metropolis za 2007. godinu.
U toku 2007., pocevsi sa gostovanjem na Beerfestu, Trigger
je zapoceo i koncertnu promociju albuma. Bend upravo radi
na sledecem video spotu i priprema beogradsku promociju albuma.

Ella
Blue was born in Japan, but grew up in Southern California.
Ella's love for music started at a young age when she could
be heard belting out Kenny Roger's "Lucille". Bound
to be a clarinet player, a trip to visit family in Alaska
quickly showed her the light and changed her path forever.
Listening to her Grandfather's Band, Young At Heart, she
learned a quick appreciation and love for Jazz, Blues and
the trumpet. Favorite artist ranging from Ella Fitzgerald,
Glenn Miller and Louis Armstrong to Natalie Maines, Patsy
Cline & Faith Hill, she has strong and obvious influences
in two genres of music - The Blues and Country. Ella's training
in music started on that family trip when her Grandfather
handed her a trumpet, she went on to join her elementary
school band and even composed her first song featuring trumpet,
of course, in 4th grade. She continued playing trumpet through
high school when she changed her groove and slipped into
a deeper sound with a Euphonium. Beginning her life as a
vocalist didn't begin until her senior year of high school
when she joined an all female dancing choir, often featured
as a soloist. Her talents in music on many different levels
(writing, arranging, and performing) excelled quickly and
won her many awards and scholarship offers. The one accepted
was with the renowned School of Music at the University of
Redlands. All the hard time she endured you can hear reflected
in the velvety, low and soulful tones of her voice. Taking
in all influences and training, she had definitely developed
a unique sound of her own. Web link: www.myspace.com/ellablue2 .

Sparks
(USA) - Activities
When
faced with the challenge of what to do next, pop innovators
and musical legends, Ron and Russell Mael aka Sparks, have,
in the past, not just risen to the challenge but surpassed
any expectations. So when asked what plans they had for their
21st album (yes you read it right…"21st" album)
their answer was typically audacious: "How do we best
unveil our new album, Sparks as yet untitled 21st? How about
playing in concert every single song off of every album that
preceded it, all 20 albums on 20 consecutive nights, culminating
in the premiere of our latest? That's approximately 250 songs,
or for you musicians, 4 million, 825 thousand, 273 notes.
Come celebrate each and every one of those notes with us!" Sparks,
Los Angeles. "We are thrilled to announce that Sparks
will be performing in Finland for the first time since 1975.
The band will play at Tavastia-Klubi, Helsinki, on 16th June
2008, please see www.tiketti.fi for
further information", said Lucy Wigginton from UK's
Republic Media Promotion. Web link for more information about

Kao
po obicaju, Zdenko Franjic je u svijet plasirao nekoliko
novih albuma. Zasluzio je taj nepokorivi istrazivac puno
toga. Nedavno (1. III 2008.) dao je interview za subotnji
Vecernji list i dobio je cijelu stranicu. Tom prilikom je
rekao: "Ja otkrijem band, a onda netko drugi zaradjuje
na njemu. Meni to uopce nije vazno. Nasa scena postoji. Dakako,
najprije je potrebna kvantiteta da bi iz toga izasla neka
kvaliteta. Ako nisi neki veliki band, koncerti su nikakva
zarada. Zapravo, ti placas da bi svirao. Glazbenici uvijek
najgore prodju u cijeloj prici." A i Zdenko. A jedan
uvazeni hrvatski rock-kriticar je za nastup Goribora u Zagrebu
izjavio da su cudo jednog dobrog medijskog trika. Ja mu ne
vjerujem, jer znam jako dobro sto su Goribor prosli da bi
bili to sto jesu. Postanes popularan i onda ti netko tko
nema pojma o tvom zivotu oskrnavi tvoju Tantalovu muku pred
stotinama tisuca citatelja. I mojoj neukoj rock and roll
majci. Hej?! Nije fer... Ovdje je rijec o sest, mahom sjajnih
albuma (i jednom EP-iju) koji su objavljeni u proteklih mjesec
dana. Znaci, brand new.

always with me, he is never far away. I only have to get
in my car and hear him sing to me if the radio is on, he
comes through and he is with me. Me and my band, our music
is of the Spirit of God and in memory of my brother, James
Marshall Hendrix, and our family history. Thank You Jimi
for being a Father Figure, a Big Brother and an inspiration
to me first and then rest of the world. I've had a great
life no matter what's happened, nobody has seen what I've
seen! I watched Jimi play the broom and tie string to the
bed posts and pluck it for fun when we were little. I've
seen it all it seems, yet tomorrow still holds so much, Thank
You Jesus!" Leon Hendrix Mysteriene are currently touring

Arsen
Dedic (HR) - Rebus (novi album)
Nakon
dva uspjesna projekta objavljena pod okriljem izdavacke kuce
Croatia Records u posljednjih sest mjeseci - kajkavski spomenar
Arsena Dedica pod nazivom "Moje popevke" s najljepsim
pjesmama Krapinskog festivala koje su proizasle iz pera cijenjenog
kantautora, te CD sa glazbom iz filma Nikole Stojanovica "Belle
Epoque ili posljednji valcer u Sarajevu" - Arsen Dedic
svojoj vjernoj publici predstavlja novi glazbeni uradak na
kojem donosi 15 novih pjesama. Ovaj glazbeni projekt autorski
gotovo u cijelosti potpisuje sam Arsen, osim jedne pjesme
za koju stihove potpisuje Zvonimir Golob. Aranzerski i producentski
posao povjeren je autorima poput Nikse Bratosa, Muca Softica,
Stipice Kalogjere, Ante Gele, Talijana Valtera Svilottia,
