«A Beautiful Life» changed everything
Christopher is not only a celebrated musician in his home country of Denmark and in Asia, he has also established himself as an actor with his leading role in the Netflix hit ‘A Beautiful Life’. He wrote the songs for the film and breathed life into the role of Elliott with his performance. Currently he’s touring Europe and visited the Kaufleuten in Zurich for a sold-out concert. Before the show, he spoke about his double life as a musician and actor, being a father and his great love for live shows.
Paul McCartney in Manchester: The boyish look in his eyes does not age
It’s no secret that Paul McCartney isn’t getting any younger. If possible, you shouldn’t miss the rare chance to see the Beatle live. The Co-Op Live Arena in Manchester was the second last stop on the 2024 ‘Got Back Tour’. At the first of two gigs in the brand new venue, McCartney put on a top-class show despite his 82 years and showed no signs of fatigue even after more than two and a half hours.
Interview with Birdy: I just wait for inspiration to hit
Birdy played her first show of 2024 on 8th April at Zermatt Unplugged. The festival not only is located in a beautiful scenery on the foot of the world famous Matterhorn, but the artists are also encouraged to perform a special unplugged set. Birdy put lots of efforts in that task and brought a grand piano as well as a string quartet to the stage. In the interview before the show she explained how she built up her show, talked about cover songs, remixes and her approach of creating new music.
Interview with The Hives drummer Chris Dangerous: We always thought we were the best
The Hives are back with a bang. «The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons» is their sixth studio album and the first one in eleven years. If you deliver an album with so many instant classics, you are allowed to keep your fans waiting for over a decade. The Swedes didn’t lose their explosive live energy as they’re getting older. Before their headline show in Zurich, drummer Chris Dangerous generously took time for an interview where he talked among other things about the new record, mentor Randy Fitzsimmons and the band’s self-confidence.
Interview with Birdy: This record was made for stage and to perform to people.
Birdy has just released «Portraits», her fifth studio album. It opens a new chapter for the singer. The changes are visible when looking at the artwork and music videos, but also musically Birdy ventures into new waters. The result is a wonderful album that never wears out even after listening to it over and over. An interview had already been planned when she visited Zurich back in April 2023. Due to illness (not Birdy’s), however, it unfortunately did not come to the personal meeting. But the time has come to catch up on overdue conversation via Zoom.
Interview with Sam Ryder: I changed my nervousness to excitement
Sam Ryder has played on bigger stages than many musicians that are way longer in the game than him. This is despite the fact that he hasn’t even put out a single studio album, yet. Participating in the Eurovision Song Contest with his song «Space Man» has opened some big doors for the Englishman, and he’s gone through each one with an infectious energy. Now, his debut album «There’s Nothing But Space, Man!» is about to be released. Ahead of his first show ever in Zurich, the singer explains how he manages the balancing act between Wembley Stadium and clubs and how his experience as a wedding musician has helped him in his further career.
Interview with Ed and Russell from Editors: Communication is key
Editors are an extremely hardworking live band when they are not slowed down by a pandemic. In the meantime, they have grown to six members and, with the new addition Benjamin John Power aka Blanck Mass, have released their most electronic album to date called «EBM». Why there is nevertheless a rock soul behind it and what life in the band feels like, Editors veterans Ed Lay and Russell Leetch told in the interview before their show at Volkshaus Zürich.
Interview with Declan McKenna: What carries greatness most of the time is simplicity.
Declan McKenna has already released his second album «Zeros» in September 2020, but only now has he brought it live on stage in Switzerland. At the beginning of the week, the exceptional talent was back at the Plaza Zurich for his first concert since the support tour for Blossoms in 2017. More than enough reasons for an interview with one of the great hopefuls of English indie.
Interview with Jack and Jimmy from Foals: The new album was a beacon of hope
The new Foals album «Life Is Yours» was written at a time when life didn’t seem to belong to ourselves. Despite this, or rather precisely because of it, the trio from Oxford have made it their happiest and most uplifting work to date. In the interview which took place just before their concert in Zurich at the end of May, guitarist Jimmy Smith and drummer Jack Bevan talked about how the collaboration with different producers worked for them and in which soundtrack they would like to be featured with a Foals song.
