NEW GOLD DREAMS - I 1975, rabbia giovane post-punk senza saperlo

L'11 E 12 MAGGIO UN DOPPIO BILL PER DUE DELLE BAND PIU' INTERESSANTI DELLA NUOVA SCENA INDIPENDENTE INGLESE. GLI SWIM DEEP SARANNO ACCOMPAGNATI DAI THE 1975. DESTINATI AD UN GLORIOSO FUTURO SECONDO TUTTA LA STAMPA SPECIALIZZATA ANGLOSASSONE.

Formatisi giovanissimi nel 2002, la band assunse il suo nome solo molto più tardi, quando Matthew Healy, cantante e chitarrista della band, entrò in possesso di un libro di Poesie Beat, appartenuto ad un artista di Ibiza che si stava liberando delle sue vecchie proprietà: sul retro del libro, era riportata una data, "1 June. The 1975". Era una nota di addio, un avviso di suicidio, appartenuta ad un precedente proprietario del libro. La cosa lasciò un segno profondo nell'animo del giovane cantante, che battezzò la neonata band in questo modo.

Il nome The 1975 fece la sua prima comparsa per il pubblico all'inizio del 2012, quando la Dirty Hit, pubblicò il primo EP, "Facedown". "The City", prima traccia di questo EP raggiunse rapidamente Radio BBC1 e la band divenne in breve la più brillante nuova promessa dell'indie rock inglese, con il battesimo finale ad opera di Zane Lowe che lancia il loro nuovo singolo "Sex".

La band a questo punto firma per Universal in Europa e Vagrant Records negli Stati Uniti, e si mette a lavorare col produttore di Arctic Monkeys e Foals, Mike Crossey.

Il 2013 si appresta ad essere decisamente il loro anno, con un album che arriverà a Settembre 2013!

NEWS WAVE - Echo about Ian McCulloch: he wrote Tribute Song over David Bowie Death Rumour

The British rocker Ian McCulloch (Echo & The Bunnymen) wrote a track called "Me and David Bowie" around 18 months ago when he heard a story suggesting the Heroes hitmaker was seriously ill, and MCCulloch couldn't believe it when the reclusive star shocked the world by releasing new music earlier this year (13).
He says, "I came up with that song around a year and a half ago when there were all these rumours flying around that he was on his last legs... We don't hear anything from Bowie for years, then I write that song and all of a sudden there's a new album and an exhibition at the V&A (London's Victoria & Albert museum). F**king skinny b**tard!".
Bowie made a surprise comeback in January (13) when he released his first new music in a decade, a single called Where Are We Now, which was followed by an album, A New Day, in March (13).
