  • The Libertines
    The Libertines

    Kdysi symbol chaosu, dnes kapela, která zní pevněji a sebevědoměji než kdy dřív. The Libertines se po letech turbulence vrátili albem All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade, které v roce 2024 vystřelilo rovnou na vrchol britské hitparády a potvrdilo, že jejich příběh zdaleka nekončí. Už jejich pražské vystoupení v roce 2022 naznačilo, že kapela do starého železa rozhodně nepatří a že mají i naživo stále co říct. Pod vedením výrazné autorské dvojice Pete Doherty a Carla Barâta spojuje dnes kapela drzost raných let s vyzrálejším pohledem na svět. The Libertines naživo balancují mezi minulostí a přítomností s lehkostí kapely, která si už nemusí nic dokazovat. Debut Up the Bracket a následné eponymní album definovaly dekádu raného milénia. Lehkost The Smiths, odvaha The Stone Roses nebo nadhled Blur. Stále ale originální, a ani na pozdějších albech nepostrádající texty reflektující svět kolem nás nebo osobní příběhy, které dávají hudbě vždy novou hloubku a větší autenticitu. Vystoupení The Libertines slibuje hodně, Colours of Ostrava jsou skvělou příležitostí, jak si připomenout jednu nádhernou rockovou éru nebo se nechat strhnout kapelou, která má stále co říct.

    Reverend and the Makers

    Reverend (aka Jon McClure) hails from the musically-renowned land of # Sheffield, UK. Before this project he sang for Judan Suki and 1984 finding underground local fame and getting a name for himself. He has already collaborated with Arthur Brown, John Cooper Clarke, Tim Hampton (Bromheads Jacket), Mike Hughes (Trap2), Chris McClure, Laura Manuel (ex Judan Suki), Andy Nicholson (ex Arctic Monkeys), Tom Rawley (Milburn), and Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) as well as working with producer Alan Smythe. For live gigs Reverend has assembled 'The Makers', a superband of relatively unknown musicians. In October 2006, following extensive touring and having built up a hardcore fanbase, the band signed to Wall of Sound records. Their first single "Heavyweight Champion of the World" recieved good airplay on Radio 1 and hit the UK Top 10, and has become of this summer's anthems for many clubbers and festival goers alike, appealing to fans of both dance and indie. Another single (He Said He Loved Me) is to be released at the end of August, alongside an album (State Of Things) in September. www.iamreverend.com www.myspace.com/reverendmusic
