Live Bands and Gigs

Airbourne is Joel O’Keeffe, Ryan O’Keeffe, David Roads and Justin Street, Australia’s top rock and roll band. Originally from Warrnambool, they relocated to Melbourne when they started getting serious with their gigs. In 2006 they got their biggest break when they relocated to the US to work with producer Bob Marlette for their “Runnin Wild” album, described as ‘an exercise in sweat soaked rock ’n’ roll that isn’t looking to change the world by abolishing Free Trade, but simply provide the ultimate soundtrack to the biggest all-night rock party there is’. This album is set to be released by Roadrunner Records early this year

U23D’ premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, before going on general release in the US and Canada. It opened in Ireland and the UK in February 22.  

The International Herald Tribune find it eyepopping, giving the audience the experience of being present, as the camera swings around Bono’s face, then rises over and down the 60,000 concert goers.  

The video was shot during U2’s visit to South America and was directed by Catherine Owens and Mark Pellington. It doesn’t compare with a traditional video as you get the feeling of being on stage with the band one moment, and next you are at the back of the stadium, like you’re flying around it.

The Wembley heroes bring their triumphant 12 months to a close on the other side of the planet. Next year, the moon�

We all witnessed it: there was the fire, the trapeze artists, the huge TV screens and the giant satellite dishes that flanked the stage; there was Matt Bellamy�s red lab coat, the smoke from the pitch and the mere fact that they�d even thought about flying in on jetpacks. There was the way that, a mere 30 seconds into �Knights Of Cydonia�, every last one of the 150,000 people present over those two nights in June realised they were witnessing modern stadium rock at its gloriously excessive pinnacle. There is the way our ears are still ringing. Everything about Muse at Wembley seemed so� final. Like, where on Earth can they go after this?

The answer � at least until that gig on the moon � is to its other side. Or Down Under, as we call it on Earth. The Greatest Live Band In The World Ever�s journey since July has taken in Japan, Korea, the US and Russia, and now they�re ending the year in Oz.

The widely popular British bands Oasis and Take That were not allowed to hold their concerts and gigs in their native Manchester Stadium. The turning down of the two groups by the Arab owners of the Manchester Stadium came as a big blow to the groups and its fans. At this time, the stadium doesn’t need extra money. The groups were supposed to start their gigs and tours this coming June 2009, alternating in the same venue, usually just a few days apart from each other. It is just recently that the stadium was taken over by the United Arab Emirates’ Abu Dhabi United Group Investment and Development Limited. With the rejection by the new owners, Oasis was forced to hold their gigs in Manchester’s Heaton Park.

Trance music transpire in the early 90’s and became typical during the turn of the millenium. Basically, it is a fusion of electronic dance and techno music characterized by repetitive rhythms and melodies with shifting sounds. Musicians generally make the repeating melodies more interesting by altering the filter cuffs on the synthesizers, changing the sound from dull to piercing and bright.

Trance music is one of the most fashionable forms of music that is truly electronic; it relies heavily on synthesizers, sequencers, and electronic effects to produce different sounds. The Roland TR 808, TR 909, and TB 303 are typically used in trance. Although these models are around 20 years old, newer drum machines and bass synths mimic their sounds. Other synthesizers are also combined to add variety and spice to the mix. Orchestral arrangements and computer treatments are also added to trance music to make the melodies more complex.
