Pearls Negras
Alice, Jemi and Mari’s performance and lyrics are defined by their origin. They describe life in slums of post-championship Brazil and reveal not very edifying experiences hidden behind angelic faces of the local girls. Their harsh words are amplified by heavy bass and beats. In sharp contrast to…
Kate Tempest
The tempest with which the rapper “of bars and night buses” wiped out her competitors did not escape the attention of editors of newspapers like The Guardian and New York Times. In her evocative version of Icarus, Kate sings: “Gifts are dangerous when they are given and not earned...". Aware of…
FFS (Franz Ferdinand & Sparks)
“Musical love at first sight” wasn’t just about polite backstage talks a la “we should make a song together.” The bands actually started exchanging ideas and soon they had 6 songs on the table. This was point of no return... The idea of “let’s make a song” turned into…

Einstürzende Neubauten – German industrial legend
At the time of their formation (1980), the band shocked the audience by immense noise, intense irregular rhythms and apocalyptic lyrics. Their anti-pop served as antidote to wake up paralyzed masses and parodied the emptiness of mainstream music. Destroying borders, the band laid the foundations for…
