Coachella Builds a Bigger Game
New York Times – Apr 29, 2008
team Simian Mobile Disco pumped out electronica with weird edges and simple vocal hooks. The winners in the new festival-clogged landscape aren’t necessarily the bands that have appealed to their fans’ open-mindedness by starting in one direction and then going in another. (Some examples: Goldfrapp which made its name with hard electronic dance music and has drifted into delicate pastoralia and Spiritualized which used to play heavy rock-drones and performed at Coachella as a nine-piece band with a string quartet three backup singers acoustic guitar and electric piano. ) Instead they might be bands whose music naturally suggests multiplicity and could therefore play practically any festival. Like My Morning Jacket. This is a rock band with heavy echo long songs orchestral swells and a singer Jim James who alternately evokes.

And by having “a good live theatrical performance like Rabbit in the Moon can offer” Bennington explains “we can really celebrate with our clients. ” Formed in Tampa Rabbit in the Moon has been combining live performance art and good old-fashioned spectacle with electronic music since the rave scene of the early ’90s. While David Christophere calmly plays everything from sequencers to a theremin in the background Bunny energetically demands all attention up front with large costumes and props literally sending sparks flying as Christophere’s sounds send spiritual chills. It’s easier to understand Julien-K’s place on the lineup even if they have a largely electronic sound. Bennington is a member and will be performing a song with them at the event. Bennington and Julien-K members also make up the band Dead by Sunrise so expect to hear their tunes as well.

Stephen Lawrence Winwood was born May 12 1948 in the Handsworth area of Birmingham England. First interested in swing and Dixieland jazz he began playing drums guitar and piano as a child and first performed with his father and older brother Muff in the Ron Atkinson Band at the age of eight. During the early ’60s Muff led a locally popular group called the Muff Woody Jazz Band and allowed young Steve to join; eventually they began to add R&B numbers to their repertoire and in 1963 the brothers chose to pursue that music full-time joining guitarist Spencer Davis to form the Spencer Davis Group. Although he was only 15 Steve’s vocals were astoundingly soulful and mature and his skills at the piano were also advanced beyond his years. Within a year he’d played with numerous American blues legends both in concert and in the studio; in 1965 he also recorded the solo single “Incense” as the Anglos crediting himself as Stevie Anglo. Meanwhile the Spencer Davis Group released a handful of classic R&B-styled singles including “Keep on Running” “I’m a Man” and the monumental “Gimme Some Lovin’” which stood with any of the gritty hardcore soul music coming out of the American South. Winwood eventually tired of the tight pop-single format; by the mid-’60s the cutting edge of rock & roll often involved stretching out instrumentally and with his roots in jazz Winwood wanted the same opportunity… Dismayed he returned to Gloucestershire and all but disappeared from music. He returned in late 1980 with the little-heralded Arc of a Diver a much stronger effort on which he played every instrument himself. Modernizing Winwood’s sound with more synthesizers and electronic percussion Arc of a Diver was a platinum-selling hit in the U. helped by the hit single “While You See a Chance”; it received highly positive reviews as well most hailing the freshness of Winwood’s newly contemporary sound. The extremely similar 1982 follow-up Talking Back to the Night sounded rushed to some reviewers and it wasn’t nearly as big a hit with none of its singles reaching the Top 40. Unhappy with the record Winwood even considered retiring to become a producer (though his brother talked him out of it).

It’s a smart move as some of last year’s most memorable acts – including Flosstradamus – were of the nu electro movement… It’s a smart move as some of last year’s most memorable acts – including Flosstradamus – were of the nu electro movement. The second fest will intentionally slate local and national bands that did not appear at the inaugural 2007 festival the only exception so far being Denver’s Hearts of Palm (formerly Nathan & Stephen). Local music fans will be psyched to hear that shoegazers Bright Channel which broke up last year is reforming to play Monolith as part of the Sept. “It’s a true testament to Colorado’s burgeoning music scene that one of this year’s national breakout acts is also a hometown favorite” Monolith co-producer Josh Baker said of DeVotchka.

Rwanda: Memories Through Congolese Music

In the 1980s soukous became popular in London and Paris. A few more musicians left Kinshasa to work around central and east Africa before settling in either the UK or France. In the late 1980s and 1990s Parisian studios were used by many soukous stars and the music became heavily reliant on synthesizers and other electronic instruments. Kanda Bongo Man Paris-based artist pioneered fast short tracks suitable for play on dance floors everywhere popularly known as Kwassa kwassa. This music appealed to Africans and to new audiences as well. Artists like Diblo Dibala Mbilia Bel Yondo Sister Loketo Rigo Star Madilu System Soukous Stars and veterans like Pepe Kalle and Koffi Olomide followed suit. Soon Paris became home to talented studio musicians who recorded for the African and Caribbean markets and filled out bands for occasional tours.
