WORLD BLOCK PARTY
edition "PANELÁK OF LOVE": LOU REED
V posledních deseti letech se Brno se proměnilo v hnízdo kreativních počinů a nyní více než dříve jsou ulice plné umělců z celého světa. Město je zaplaveno muzikanty, sochaři, klenotníky, módními návrháři a umělci z různých koutů světa. Stejně jako San Francisko začalo v roce 1969, Manchester v roce 1989 a Berlín v roce 1999, Brno by mohlo začít v roce 2019 jako místo setkávání různých umělců z celého světa. Jsme rádi, že můžeme představit World Block Party: Panelák of Love, abychom si mohli užít tuto pestrou komunitu, která se zabydluje v Brně. Jde o hudební všehochuť z Brna i ze světa.
CRAGGY COLLYDE (UK/CZ/SK)
A warm blend of rock ‘n’ roll, punk rock and alternative sounds
Craggy Collyde is a new British/Slovak rock band based in Brno in the Czech Republic. Frontman Craggy comes from Britain, where he played for years in underground clubs with various debauched rock ́n ́ roll bands. One day he found himself in the middle of Moravia and while hanging around the bars of Brno with his acoustic show, he stumbled upon Veronika, a drummer from Slovakia. A project arose in which Craggy could realize his vision of a creative band with a full electric sound. In 2018, Craggy Collyde released their first single "Sorry Now". The duo has risen up with glorious noise and melodies wrapped in songs of love, loss, and hangovers.
SOUNDS OF OCCUPATION (IRL/SCO/CZ)
are an Irish / Scottish / South Moravian band who have grungy rock roots fused with electronic influences. Founded in 2014 by Martin Bystrický (guitars and machines), Lukáš Robek (Bass) and Paul O’Connor (Drums and Vocals), their first record Same River Twice (2015) was released to local acclaim on Ears and Wind records. The second release, At Least Half Noise (2018), part love-letter to 1990s alt-rock and part exploration of programmed drums, synths and modern recording techniques, has received more international attention and radio airplay. For At Least Half Noise, the band was joined by Scottish guitarist, Robin Smith, who previously played in a variety of Shoegaze and Stoner Rock bands.
