SUSPENDIDO / BERTAN BEHERA !!! SHAKING GODSPEED [NETHERLAND] + JON & SUGRAMAS live!

Kontzertu hau BERTAN BEHERA geratu da gure esku ez dauden arrazoiak direla eta. Barkatu eragozpenak.

Shaking Godspeed:

‘If you want to be as cool as your heroes, don’t be like them.’ Wout Kemkens, singer/guitarist of Shaking Godspeed, takes this quote to heart. Maybe that’s why their new album ‘HOERA’ sounds like the cure for the catatonic state of ‘guitar music’ today, wherein most bands strictly follow the blueprint which has been laid out by the pioneers. Well, Shaking Godspeed certainly doesn’t forget to add something of themselves in the mix. Kemkens: “When I enter the studio with a piece of music and Paul (organ/bassguitar) and Maarten (drums) tell me that it reminds them of another band or song, the fun is over for me. Within the existing rock&roll conventions I want to create something different and surprise people with new melodies and an unusual approach. In Paul en Maarten I found two like-minded people. We don’t necessarily want to please people with our music, we want to surprise and confuse them, just like our favorite artists do to us.’’ This might be an important reason why listening to ‘HOERA’ is an experience you will remember. The subtle interplay between dissonant and consonant tones, melody and raw power combined with good songwriting and a ‘classic’ rock&roll/blues feel is truly refreshing and familiar at the same time.

Within their short existence of two and a half years the group has released one EP and two full length albums. The 2011-album ‘AWE’ led to raving reviews in The Netherlands and 150+ shows at tiny wine cellars in France, rockbars in Spain and Germany, big festivals like Sziget (Hungary) and ‘big’ club shows and festivals in their home country. With ‘HOERA’ the band hopes to expand their territory and make friends and enemies abroad, I wonder which side you will choose. Let me know!

Jon & Sugramas:

Arima Beltzako abeslari eta Uek taldeko bateriajole izandako Jon Gurrutxagak sortutako proiektua dugu “Jon & Sugramas”. Egitasmo honetan ingelesez eta euskaraz abestutako rocka da nagusi, bluesaren eragina ere nabari da, baina batez ere 70eko hamarkadako rock taldeen eragin zuzena du.

Abesteko zuen grina asetzeko asmoz, Elgoibarko musikaria duela hiru urte inguru hasi zen proiektu honetako kantuei forma ematen. Eta kantu sorta bat bildu zuenean taldea osatzea erabaki zuen Ekaitz Garmendia (Legen Beltza), Ivan Hernández (Legen Beltza) eta Andoni Mujikarekin (Andrakan) batera. 2010eko ekainean diskoa Gaztelupeko Hotsak-ekin argitaratu ostean, neguan emanaldi elektrikoak nahiz akustikoak tartekatu izan ditu. Lehen formazioarekin bi urte eman ostean taldea eraberriturik dator pasa den udaz geroztik: Miguel Laguna (Aiumeen Basoa) gitarran, Iñigo Gorritxategi (Lau Mono) baxuan eta Ruben Irigoyen baterian.
