GENRE: AVANTGARDE
RAY CHILDISH
(A.)
Ray Childish, are a Dark Cabaret duo from Graz/Austria.
Far beyond their contemporaries, the songs penned by
front woman Ray Childish are more likely reminiscent of
classics as Kurt Weill, and Berthold Brecht with an
unmistakable“Fuck You” attitude, or the musical
extravagance of a Nick Cave. The distinctive chanson style
evokes the spirit of the old Vaudeville school, albeit in an
entirely new, avant-garde way. Classically tinted, thrashy
and refined - Ray Childish conjures up a true emotional
inferno on stage, which gives the terms directness and
spontaneity an entirely new meaning.
"Ray Childish ist ein Dark Cabaret-Duo aus Graz. Fernab
ihrer Zeitgenossen, erinnern die aus der Feder von
Frontfrau Ray Childish stammenden Songs viel eher an Klassiker wie Kurt Weill und Berthold Brecht mit eindeutiger „Fuck
You“-Attitüde, oder die musikalische Extravaganz eines Nick Cave. Der unverkennbar chansoneske Stil lässt den Geist
der alten Vaudeville-Schule wieder aufleben, jedoch auf eine gänzlich neuartige, avantgardistische Weise. Klassisch
angehaucht, thrashig, raffiniert – bei auf Klavier und Schlagzeug reduzierter Begleitung zaubert Ray Childish ein wahres
Gefühlsinferno auf die Bühne, das den Begriffen Direktheit und Spontanität eine völlig neue Bedeutung gibt."

FLORIAN HOFER BAND
(GER.)
Florian Hofer is a 22-year-old guitarist and singer. Born and
grown up in Frankfurt, Germany, he is now going to spread
his songs all over the world.
His music is influenced by well-known musicians like The
Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix but also by modern artists
like Richie Kotzen or Philip Sayce. Especially the vocals
resemble the dirty sound of the seventies.
He himself describes his style as the “new blues-rock-funkwave”.
“The moments when I’m merged into my music are the
most powerful and energized ones I have ever had. Sharing these feelings with other people is the strongest motivation
for me to carry on.”
When Florian is on stage with his Fender, his enthusiasm and powerful performance are highly contagious.

GENRE: BLUES, ROCK, FUNK
PURPLE BLUZE
(A.)
Mit einer eigenständigen und eigenwilligen Mischung aus
Funky Blues, Texas Shuffle und Rhythm & Blues heizen
Purple Bluze kräftig ein. Mit unbeschreiblicher Spielfreude
und Intensität bearbeiten die drei Musiker Harald Federer
(Gesang/ Gitarre), Jan Federer (Drums) und Michael
Scarpatetti (Bass) ihre Instrumente und zelebrieren die
Musik ab der 60er Jahre mit schlichter Hingabe, wie z.B.:
Hendrix, SRV aber auch Eigenkompositionen.Der Gesang
von Harald Federer wird genial mitgetragen von seinen
prägenden Riffs an der Gitarre. Jan Federer sorgt mit
einem grandiosen dynamischen Beat für den rhythmischen
Rahmen und bildet mit Michael Scarpatetti am Bass das
Fundament für Purple Bluze. Purple Bluze sind eine
exzellente Live-Band mit unbändiger Spielfreude.Dass
Purple Bluze eine Formation mit einer
erfolgversprechenden Zukunft sind beweisen sie immer wieder bei ihren Konzerten.Guter ehrlicher Funky Blues, der einen
zum tanzen einlädt, eben was für echte Puristen und Musikfreunde.

GENRE: Symphonic Metal
ILLUMINATA
(A.)
The band Illuminata consists of an unusual array of six
musicians that transcends established boundaries of
genre. Expressive vocals of two front women which are
embedded in refined and harmonious score are unique
trademarks of their style. The sound of their music is
dominated by a strong presence of orchestral elements.
Enforced by thundering rhythms the audience is drawn into
the tense atmospheres of a blockbuster movie unfolding on
stage in a reverie of power, emotion and drama.
Illuminata is Symphonic Metal you have never seen and
heard before.
Die sechsköpfige Band Illuminata bildet sich aus einer für
dieses Genre ungewöhnlichen Formation. So prägen, eingebettet in ein raffiniertes harmonisches Grundgerüst, die Vocals
der beiden Frontfrauen den Stil der Grazer auf eine einzigartige Weise. Unterstützt von einer straffen Rhythmussektion ist
der massive Einsatz orchestraler Mittel maßgeblich am Gesamtklang der Band beteiligt, sodass sich der Zuhörer
stellenweise in einen Hollywood Blockbuster versetzt fühlt. Live wird die emotionale Vielfalt der Musik durch ein
theatralisches Konzept umgesetzt, sodass Illuminata das Genre des Symphonic Metal in komplett neuem Licht erstrahlen
lässt.

GENRE: ROCK
LASTDAYHERE (SLO.)
LastDayHere is a band that steps out of the stereotype
perspective of modern rock. Well based instrumental parts
spiced up with amazing vocals, can easily be enjoyed by
even the most pretentious listener.
Their music is outstanding, authentic and can especially be
distinguished by its vocal parts, which is also true for their
live performances. For LastDayHere every gig is as
important as if it was the last, which is in accordance to the
band's name based on the saying "live every day as if it
was your last".
In a very short time, their debut album "From Pieces
Created" has been very positively received by local and
foreign media. One of the first reviews states:
"These guys crank out a great balance of writing,
performance, and production that stands side by side with
the best in heavy metal. With hard driving guitars and a big production sound, Last Day Here snaps your neck clean off.
Rotation on Melted is heavy, and no one can believe they're an unsigned act! If these guys keep this up they are headed
for the same place as Metallica, Nickelback, and AC/DC!" (Melted Metal Radio, New York USA).
The band was also featured in the German edition of the leading metal magazine Metal Hammer, where the author wrote:
"It is essential for anyone to check this band out." (Metal Hammer, April 2008)

GENRE: ROCK
DWEAL
(SLO.)
These four guys have thrown away the rule books for Rock,
Metal and Pop, simply blurred the lines between the
genres, named it Drop Rock and formed the band Dweal.
Their sound is particularly defined by strong, unique vocals,
sing-along-choruses and low-tuned guitars, which charge
Dweal’s “lullabies” with heavy breakdown riffs.
Dweal formed at the end of 2005 when singer and guitarist
Matt (Matjaž) finally found musicians who shared the same
view of and taste in music. The guys are attracting much
attention from media and event organizers as their
reputation grows. They have already rocked the stage with
renowned artists such as Killswitch Engage and As I Lay
Dying and played at major festivals (including the Exit
Festival, the biggest festival in Southern Europe).
“Dweal is about music. Why do we do it? Because we believe in it. As long as there are people who are willing to share
their dreams, hopes, love and passion for music with us, we will continue sharing our music, hopes, dreams and
experience with them. Since we are all human, this might last forever,” say the band members. “We didn’t just decide to
do this, it arose as a form of self-expression. Sometimes we do it to let off some steam, sometimes to gather new
energy. And it’s always mutual,” they add.
Dweal are: Matjaž Goričan/ Matt (Vocals, guitar), Vasja Bajde/ Van (Guitar), Denis Jančič (Drums), Martin Počkar (Bass)

GENRE: ACOUSTIC ROCK
AMITY IN FAME
(A.)
The band uses the possibilities the web provides
extensively to promote their “powerful acoustic rock”. The
8k downloads the band’s self produced debut album
already achieved speak for themselves. Thousands of
listeners all around the globe perceive the music of Amity
in Fame as something strikingly new and unique.
Accordingly, the band’s aim in promotion is simply to reach
as many listeners as possible as those are craving for
music they haven’t heard before. At least, this is the
quintessence from the hundreds of reviews the band
received from all over the world.
The band proved that also live they are something special.
Though gigs of the band were rare so far, the listeners – be
it simply people interested in music or sophisticated musicians – know that they have seen something special. The band
achieved rank five in middle Europe’s biggest band contest, the International Live Award, with over 1,000 participants of
seven nations. Amity in Fame not only knows how to rock a large audience but also how to make an evening in a small
bar location unforgettable for a small and lucky group of people.
The band is presently working on their second album which will mark a new level for the band in means of style, sound,
songwriting and professionalism. While their debut album already received an extraordinarily positive feedback for its
fresh and original style, the second album is expected to create a much wider echo internationally as it is much more
mature in means of music and songwriting. After releasing the album and the next music video, the band will work
together intensively with Graviton Music Services and its partners to spread this album all around the globe.

GENRE: ROCK
BELLEVUE SUITE

Bellevue Suite is making a name for themselves from Los
Angeles to New York City through their awe inspiring live
performances and their huge cross over brand of Rock.
Rarely does a band capture so much passion and energy on
stage, while delivering hook after hook in songs composed

rock band based in Milwaukee Wisconsin. The line-up
consists of front man Michael Sean, guitarist Jeremy
Kletzien, Hannah Ford on drums, and Dann Walters on bass

delivered with a 2010 attitude.

in the nation’s 3rd largest market. Bellevue Suite has opened for national acts including Disturbed, Crossfade, Candlebox,

GENRE: ROCK-AVANTGARDE
KLÖÖHN (Rock Avantgarde)
Abgespeckt auf das wesentliche, rocken im Trio
(Bass + Gesang, Schlagzeug, Gitarre) die Bretter die die
Welt bedeuten.
– Das sind Sigi Ritter, der schon in den 80ern z.B. bei der
Kultband Fezzz die Kessel gerührt hat; Sänger/Bassist
Andreas „Sassi“ Krampl, vormals umtriebig bei Smooga,
Inez, Klimmstein etc. und an der Gitarre: Dr.Thomas
Krampl, wahrhaftiger Blutsbruder von Sassi, der zwar nicht
verarztet jedoch verordnet – nämlich spektakuläre
Gitarrenriffs, melancholische Melodien und Stimmungen
zum Tanzen und Träumen.
- ist ein Produkt des Zeitpunktes, ist dieser ein anderer, ist Klööhn ein anderer, aber immer gut und gern
unverwechselbar Klööhn.
- blumig durchwachsene, metapherschwere Texte, mit unverwechselbarem und nachhaltigem Sound – ein musikalisches
Erlebnis, das nach der ersten Unterhaltung nach immer mehr verlangt.
