KVELERTAK TO LEEDS AND READING!
PRESSEMELDING:
Lydverket og Hove sender Kvelertak til Englands viktigste festivaler
I samarbeid med NRK Lydverket har Hove og Festival Republic valgt hardcorebandet Kvelertak til å spille Reading og Leeds 27. -29. august.
Kvelertak skal spille på BBC Presenting-scenen på de to gigantfestivalene, som har Arcade Fire, Guns n’ Roses og Queens of The Stone Age blant headlinerne.
En jury bestående av Lydverkets Kristin Winsents, Beate Grøndahl og Andreas Øverland, P3s musikksjef Mats Borch Bugge samt Hovefestivalens pressesjef Gaute Drevdal og Festival Republic-sjefen Melvin Benn samlet seg rundt det norskspråklige bandet etter å ha fått inn hundrevis av forslag på Lydverkets nettsider.
- Jeg er fornøyd med at valget falt på Kvelertak, da det er et band som passer godt inn på Reading, sier Benn. De spiller en sjanger og har et uttrykk som ikke krever at folk forstår tekstene. De kommer til å være fullstendig hjemme på Reading og Leeds.
Jurymedlem Kristin Winsents er heller ikke i tvil om at Kvelertak er riktig band å sende til det notorisk bortskjemte festivalpublikummet i England.
- Kvelertak har særpreg, gode låter, de kommer med et utrolig bra debutalbum i juni, og er inne i en rivende utvikling. Sist, men ikke minst: Kvelertak er helt fantastisk live! sier Winsents.
Kvelertak kom på andreplass i årets P3 Urørtfinale. Stavangerbandet har nylig avsluttet innspillingen av det selvtitulerte debutalbumet , produsert av Converge-gitarist Kurt Ballou i USA. Men samarbeidet sluttet ikke der, for i sommer legger Kvelertak ut på europaturné med nettopp Converge og Gaza (US).
Nyheten om at de får spillejobb på Reading og Leeds mottok bandet ”ved å hyle som jenter”, sier vokalist Erlend Hjelvik. – Vi vinner jo aldri noe, men dette er en utrolig mulighet for å vise oss frem for et stort publikum.

PURIFIED SIGNS WITH UNIVERSAL RECORDS
Great Moments are proud to announce that the new Purified album "Under Black Skies" will be released in May 2010 on Nightliner / Universal Music.
Stavangerbandet Purified in Blood er høyaktuelle akkurat nå med slipp av singelen "Death Priest" og Bylarm-konserter, samtidig som Øyafestivalen i dag offentliggjorde nyheten om at bandet er bekreftet til festivalen i august. Bandet inngikk denne uka en omfattende avtale med Universal Music, noe som betyr at bandets nye album "Under Black Skies" slippes på underlabelen Nightliner i Norge i mai. Avtalen innebærer i tillegg at Purified In Blood starter eget selskap der Universal og bandets management Great Moments går inn som investorer, en i norsk sammenheng helt ny samarbeidsmodell som peker framover og definerer artist, plateselskap og management som likeverdige forretningspartnere med langsiktige felles interesser. Alt dette bygger opp mot utgivelsen av nytt album. PIB anno 2010 låter høyere og tøffere - mørkere og mektigere enn noen gang før, og "Under Black Skies" er da også spilt inn under beksvart høsthimmel ved Jærens havgap. "Det føles ut som vi hoppet over vår andre fullengder og gikk rett på vår tredje", sier bandet og referer til året de var oppløst og den nye flammen som har oppstått musikalsk og sosialt i bandet. Albumet er produsert av Ashley Stubbert, og mikset i Seattle av Matt Bayles - som tidligere har produsert storheter som Mastodon og Isis.
