On Easter burned the old city center thanks to a great concert that marked stunning Black Box Revelation to mark the first anniversary of the Music Hall room. The Belgian duo went to Barcelona (and Madrid) to present a "My Perception" left us in just three or four tracks a very good taste. One of the themes that we emphasize on that disk, regardless of 'Shadowman', 'Madhouse' or single 'My Perception "(great song if ever there) is' Sealed With Thorns', cut with the performance that is closed Barna and represents the climax of the whole career of this young garage rock band born in Dilbeek.

Complexity and stridency play each other on an issue that comes to represent a new step in the sound they have created for years Jan and Dries. As long as you enjoy it as best they deserve here we leave the studio version (colossal, one of the best we've heard in recent months) and direct place in Brussels Roland, one of the leading Belgian rocker world.

Sugarman Three's: What the world needs now

Somehow, nobody knows exactly when it all started. What has become of it, you know, the better for it. Mid-1990s, Neal Sugarman was an enthusiastic supporter of classic jazz, funk, rhythm and blues, soul and Latin music and toured the main inspiration for locations in the U.S. this genre. New Orleans had particularly impressed him. All the traditional sound worlds for him here showed the best color shades. The Hammond organ sound was for him the beloved musical bridge between these facets. Funk and Boogaloo stood by him in the highest price. Back in New York, 1996, he founded his own band with Adam Scone, Al Street, and Rudy Albin - all of his passion for the grooves of the 1960s and 1970s lived and shared. "Sugar's Boogaloo" was released on Desco Records and made in the never-extinct rare groove fans around the world for open ears.

Desco Records broke up shortly thereafter and the board reached later by licensing the German label Unique Records re remunerations. The Desco label founder Lehman & Roth parted. Roth founded shortly after the now legendary label Daptones Records, which makes well known for over 10 years of analog and authentic renaissance of soul and funk sounds rehearsed. There then appeared also the second album, "Soul's Donkey", which with 60s jazz-funk inspired hip. Inspired by The Meters, Booker T. & MGs and the Memphis Horns, they played purely instrumental, groovy pieces worldwide live and also for a third album - until Neal Sugarman and Gabriel Roth to label things by intensive care and scene celebrities such as Sharon Jones a platform stated.
Now the fleet Sugarman Three-back with its own factory.
Retro can not make simple, you must present an authentic and have an idea of ​​the sound. From every shadow of doubt on this trio of hip retro-Corrugated is riding - these guys are playing it to perfection. Allegedly recorded in only 4 days. Unpretentious, real, raw and straight is their mini album "What world needs now" become. Locates in the mid-tempo range, they have not lost their groove after nearly a decade. Instrumental sound of this imprint is now not only rare, but probably still difficult to explain because if nobody sings about it. Ultimately, however, lies precisely in the magic. Welcome back, guys.

Since the "Heaven On" goes - Silbermond live at the Olympiahalle

Silver Moon at 18.12. in the Olympic Hall in MünchenIhr new, fourth album, "In heaven" was first published on 23.05.2012 and freshly issued later this year, silver moon on large hall tour through 16 cities in Germany. On 18/12/2012, the four guest appearances around Bautzen sympathetic singer Stefanie Kloss on this route in the Olympic Hall in Munich. Silver Moon has traveled in the past ten years, an impressive way. Now, after more than three million albums sold, the week-long number-one hit "The Best" and "Something remains" as well as numerous awards - including seven times in the Echo, two times for Best Live Act), it Silver Moon moves again and again as first return to the stage.

The first single from 'On Heaven "bears the same title as the album. A classic music video for the song but not turned, instead, was the subject of the song at the center. We asked people nationwide, which means good fortune for them, and cut these answers together - highlighted in the background of a mostly instrumental version of "Heaven On". The track will be aware, however, very withdrawn, so that with this video was something else new. The final product, you can see at the end of this article.

At the same time the clip was launched on himmelauf.de an action that calls people to send in your own personal moment of happiness in a video message. The campaign already enjoys a very large attendance. These videos are now on the "longest Heaven On" clip together.

At the beginning of the creation process of "heaven" was the change, the desire for something new, the prospect of adventure. Stefanie Kloss (vocals), John Stolle (bass), Thomas Stolle (guitar and piano) and Andrew Nowa (drums) just wanted to try it sometimes very different ideas, "music to which we are otherwise well," says Thomas Stolle. Silver Moon have with keyboards and drum machines, samplers and effects units, while experimenting new programmed beats, samples and loops. The aim was to create something new without losing sight of the well-tried. They have made a good 60 ideas - filter out about 25 pieces, some of which eventually found their way 14 songs on the new album - which carried the quartet for a year with him.

Many of the new songs rock groove and airy enough; a wonderful contrast to the example of mid-tempo track "Against" position. Other pieces are ballads, like the lighter anthem "Yes", which is growing with bright strings of size and hymn that recalls Coldplay and U2.

Conclusion: Silver Moon are grown, the production is more mature and complex and comes up with unusual arrangements.
