clubbing com os the fall na casa da música

Sábado 17 Janeiro 2009 23:30, Sala 2Clubbing Optimus Janeiro 2009 The Fall + Restantes concertos
O primeiro Clubbing do ano traz à Casa da Música a histórica banda inglesa The Fall, de Mark E. Smith. Com um percurso que já conta mais de 30 anos desde a sua fundação em Manchester, pela formação têm passado inúmeros membros circulando em torno da figura carismática do líder, o único elemento permanente. Desde o primeiro álbum Live At The Witch Trials, considerado um marco do indie rock, até ao mais recente Imperial Wax Solvent, tem sido intensa a actividade discográfica da banda, coroada pelas inesquecíveis actuações ao vivo. A Casa da Música recebe ainda a nova sensação da música electrónica islandesa, a banda Steed Lord. Em apenas um ano, este quarteto conta já inúmeras actuações por toda a Europa e nos EUA e a sua música é alvo das remisturas de nomes lendários como DJ Mehdi, Crookers, Mano e DJ Klever. Em 2009 o Clubbing estende-se a novos géneros musicais, trazendo também o jazz e a música clássica para uma noite cada vez mais ecléctica. Nos Bares o destaque vai para o brasileiro DJ Chernobyl, um pioneiro na divulgação e introdução do baile funk no universo do rock.

the wonderful and frightening world of mark e. smith

BBC FOUR focuses on one of England’s truly unique and underrated bands - The Fall - in this special documentary.
One of the most enigmatic, idiosyncratic and chaotic garage bands of the last 30 years, The Fall are led by the belligerent and poetic Mark E Smith.
The band grew out of the fringe of the Manchester punk scene and to date have released in excess of three dozen albums, toured relentlessly, inspired two successful stage plays, recorded 24 Peel Sessions and performed with contemporary ballet dancer Michael Clarke, along with various spoken word events.
All this has happened under the guidance of Smith with various line-ups currently totalling over 40 different members.
They have never conformed to fashion or musical trends and when asked why they were his favourite band, John Peel replied: “They are always different, they are always the same.”
This is the first time that Mark E Smith has agreed to the story being told on television and he, along with many of the major players, takes us through this unique English rock ‘n’ roll story.
Their rollercoaster story is told alongside footage of their most recent and sadly now last Peel Session recorded in August at the legendary BBC Maida Vale studios.
There is also film of John playing out the session at Peel Acres a week later.
Contributors include past and present band members including Marc Riley, Una Baines, Steve Hanley, Ben Pritchard and Eleni Smith plus thoughts from key fans and critics including Paul Morley, Tony Wilson, Stewart Lee, promoter Alan Wise, original Buzzcocks manager Richard Boon and Franz Ferdinand.

the fall - reformation! post - tlc

NEW ALBUM OUT NOW
There aren’t very many bands that have been together longer than The Fall and, with a few exceptions, it’s difficult to think of any who, like The Fall, have released brand new material every year. Formed at the height of the punk rock movement in Manchester in 1976, The Fall has released around 50 singles, 25 studio albums and perhaps 50 live and compilation albums.
Famously the band has gone through numerous personnel changes over the years (there have been over 30 different line-ups so far) but always present is the enigmatic Mark E. Smith – musical genius, obnoxious drunk, Salford’s finest poet, journalist’s worst nightmare, working class hero. Dubbed ‘The Grumpiest Man in Pop’, by the NME, Mark E. Smith has been carving his jaundiced signature on the music scene for the past twenty plus years. Rarely tempted to celebrate the lighter side of life, Smith uses humour and horror to illuminate vile hypocrisies and injustices.
It’s now over a year since the release of the critically acclaimed Fall Heads Roll and with a new line-up now in place, Fall aficionados everywhere have been looking forward, with a degree of impatience, to the next album. At last a date has been set for the release of Reformation Post TLC, The Fall’s stunning new work, which is yet another winner and set to supersede the success of Fall Heads Roll.
What they are saying about 'Reformation Post TLC':
“The end result is probably the best Fall album since the Halcyon days of This Nations Saving Grace and Hex Enduction Hour, another worth addition to the guys track record” (The Independent)
“No matter how often he's written off, Smith keeps bouncing back.” (The Times)
“It doesn't really sound like anything the Fall have done before, which bodes well for the future. As the stoic Fall fan knows, you write them off at your peril.”.” (The Guardian)

the fall - reformation!
