Pietrasonica 2015 - Intervista a Piotre Sangoi e a Federico Londero!

Torniamo dopo una pausa per presentare la nuova edizione di Pietrasonica con un'intervista tenuta a Tarcento il 17 luglio 2015.

Ho incontrato in tale occasione Piotre e Federico del direttivo del festival per scambiare due chiacchiere sull'evento che si svolgera' questo venerdi' 31 luglio e sabato 1 agosto ad Osoppo (UD) - Sul sito web di Pietrasonica troverete ulteriori dettagli.

Da anni un must per gli amanti dello stoner, dell'heavy blues, della psichedelia ma anche del prog piu' granitico, Pietrasonica giunge alla settima edizione grazie all'impegno dei suoi curatori, alla passione per la musica lontana dagli schemi di mercato e a una risposta di pubblico in continuo aumento! Se non bastasse i prezzi modicissimi d'ingresso (5 euro al giorno), la possibilita' di camping gratuito, l'offerta culinaria a 360 gradi e la "pietra del disco" rendono l'evento ancora piu' appetibile! Il tutto una cornice unica a livello paesaggistico...

Morrissey: Final Night in Italy (Series 1)

Hand to Moz

We at UKN were beyond excited to attend the final Italian “World Peace Is None Of Your Business” Tour of frontman, Morrissey in Padova, Italy on 22nd of October, 2014 at the Gran Teatro Geox.

Morrissey, a little frail but NEVER flinching, lit up the stage. As a seasoned performer, he vocalized a powerful roar -- this was only intensified by the emotional rawness in the theatre, the baited breath of fans who came so far to see their icon this last night in Italia.

The opener, "Hand in Glove" (The Smiths, 1984) echoed this intensity with an almost doubtful and an even more poignant lyric since its original release, "And I'll probably never see you again." It left many of the concert goers with a bit of a wet eye. We do hope to see you back in Italia!

Moz has been stripped bare by his recent health scares and it slightly shows, but oh boy, does it also show the relentless fight between The Mind: compassion, truth, wit, and justice, (in this instance, Morrissey.) vs. The Body: injustice, machinery, ruthlessness, and mortality (The battle that Life wages.) But Moz already summed this up years ago when he asked, "Does the body rule the mind? Or does the mind rule the body? I dunno," in the song "Still Ill" (The Smiths, 1984)

Not a man.

He's still here, folks. The microphone cord still whips the air as he sarcastically and playfully lashes his loves and foes of both the past and the present. 

Early on in the gig, Morrissey quipped that he saw nothing beautiful about “industrialized Padova” on his drive in -- It was clear that even the audience would not be spared. This of course, did nothing but thrill everyone in attendance!
