picturebook

Picturebook – Bilderbuch. Tatsächlich gibt es wohl kaum einen Ausdruck der die Musik der Indie-Folk-Pop Band aus Muri besser beschreiben könnte. Die Songs der drei Musiker wirken wie Bilder aus einem Fotoalbum, die in der Lage sind Erinnerung und Träume zu wecken.
Seit rund sechs Jahren begeistern sie ein breites Publikum. Selbst unter Fachleuten fand Ihre Musik Anklang und mit dem Gewinn des Swiss Top Awards 2000 wurde es Picturebook ermöglicht, ihre erste CD Still Water zu produzieren. Anschliessend folgten Konzerte in der ganzen Schweiz.

Pedro the Lion

Pedro the Lion was an indie rock band from Seattle, Washington, comprising David Bazan and TW Walsh. Because of the biblical references in many of their songs, Pedro the Lion were seen by some to be a Christian band, but they did not consider the band to be such. Pedro the Lion was formed by David Bazan in 1994 and released their debut EP Whole in April 1997. Despite the band's many lineup changes, Bazan remained the primary artist and musician behind the group, exemplified by his singing and playing every instrument on the band's first two full length albums...

Kaya Burgess

Kaya Burgess is a British singer-songwriter whose brushstroke lyricism combines with a folk-rock-n-roll sound to create a compelling image of life, literature and London town. "A lovely voice." ----- Guy Garvey, lead-singer of Elbow "I can't put my finger on it, but i like it a lot and it's very personal and unique. It's got this old, worn feel to it, like a historic city after the lights go out and only a few dim pubs are still open, a handful of patrons inside drinking up the last dregs of the day. In other words, it's brilliant." ----- Tortoise Crossing

Fairport Convention

Fairport Convention is often credited with being the first English folk-rock band. Fairport, formed in 1967, rapidly developed from playing cover versions of American 'west coast' music to an individual style which melded rock music with traditional English tunes and songs. Like their peers The Byrds , Buffalo Springfield and Jefferson Airplane, they were blessed with several considerable individual talents, and produced music that, at least initially was eclectic, as well as exploratory. This side of the band may best be heard on Heyday, a collection of tracks broadcast by the BBC.
