Das Greenville Festival gibt vier neue Künstler bekannt, die sich dieses Jahr vom 27. bis zum 30. Juli in Paaren/Glien die Ehre geben. Zuletzt wurde neben den erprobten Rockern Donots ebenfalls das Singer/Songwriter-Kollektiv We Invented Paris bestätigt ( motor.de berichtete ). Nun vergrößert zusätzlich die britische Countryfolk-Sängerin Gemma Ray das Line Up. Sie wird von Kritikern als " Norah Jones auf Amy Winehouse 's Drogen" beschrieben. Ebenso spannend ist das ehemalige Schulband-Quartett The Kabeedies, das seinen poppigen Rockabilly-Sound in diesem Sommer auch auf die Bühnen des Greenville Festivals tragen wird. Von den vier Männern alias Dinosaur Truckers gibt es mit ...

Professor Green attracted quite the cross-section of people on the last night of his ‘At Your Inconvenience Tour’. The O2 Academy, Brixton, was packed with tracksuit-clad teenage boys; perfectly primped girls in their early twenties in addition to an older generation of audience members, all keen for the Hackney-bred boy to appear. Following an audience sing-along of ‘Ray Charles’ led by Chiddy Bang during his opening set, we were treated to some party tracks from DJ IQ and Felix Billionaire who filled their ten-minute warm-up with guaranteed crowd pleasers like DMX’s ‘Lose My Mind’, Jay-Z & Kanye West’s ‘Ni ...

OK Liverpool, we’ve had a sucky few months for local music. The disappointing loss of both The Masque and Mojo inspired a variety of responses from ‘this is a tragedy’ to ‘big fucking deal’, but Static Gallery’s closure hit pretty hard. No, it wasn’t the best place in the world. Yes, it could’ve done with, say, a second toilet. But as a lovingly-operated arts centre, not to mention host to some of the best damn shows this fair city has seen over the last decade, it was pretty special. And even more recently, Le Bateau – home ...

The new single from these Mike Skinner signings is arch, knowing and a little camp – but completely amazing Man Like Me, aka Johnny Langer and Peter Duffy, are about to see if the curse of Mike Skinner's record label, The Beats, is a thing we've just made up or actual fact. From 2005-7, the label gave us early offerings by Example and Professor Green, which were greeted with a unanimous "meh" from the public (they both went on to huge success with other labels). Skinner has since resurrected the imprint, apparently so he could sign Man Like Me ...

Professor Green says his father's suicide helped him "achieve his dreams".

Millie gushes her beau would be “an amazing dad.”

A pesar de tener tan solo 26 años, Lily Allen es una talentosa artista que nos ha dejado dos grandes joyas, su primer trabajo Alright, Still y el famoso It’s Not Me, It’s You, desde el cual ya han pasado 3 años. Tomándose lo que parece un largo descanso, lo último que pudimos escuchar de ella fue una colaboración con el rapero londinense Professor Green, pero de eso hace también 2 años. Ahora parece que no tendríamos que esperar tanto para su regreso, ya que Lily podría estar inmersa trabajando...
