Michel Montecrossa and his band the Chosen Few this year bring to the Spirit of Woodstock Festival in Mirapuri the brand
new songs of their ‘Love, Unity & Climate Change Concert Tour 2012’.
Michel Montecrossa, Cyberrocker, Topical-Song Writer and Founder of Mirapuri created more than 2200 songs and
50 symphonic compositions. The extraordinary work of Michel Montecrossa is constantly moving further. Fusion of all songstyles, symphonic music and music movies unite to form his unique Cyber- and Topical-Music.
When Michel Montecrossa is not in the studio working on new productions he is on the road together with his band ‘The
Chosen Few’ (Mirakali, Diana Antara, Mirachandra, David Butterfield, Artis Aldschalis) presenting with his live-concerts –
forty and more every year – a Cyber-Rock and Topical-Song Vision come true.
Michel Montecrossa and his band are living in Mirapuri-Coiromonte, Italy. Their music is a continually evolving message,
a Cyber-Rock and Topical-Song Action dream come true. Every month they perform live at the Music-Hall of the Omnidiet
Resort and Business Hotel in Mirapuri as well as at the Michel Montecrossa Rock Vision Diner in Gauting near Munich, Germany. They lead a life of friendship and experience, artistically expressing the impact of life and future possibilities.
Michel Montecrossa and the Chosen Few continuously create new songs, new lyrics, new styles of performance. Every concert is a new Cyber-Rock and Topical Song Journey. It is fascinating to experience them and get the feeling of Cyber- and
Topical-Music which is not isolated in an alien world but part of a consciousness-expanding outlook on things and a practical way of life being more than an alternative to present conformity.
Michel Montecrossa started the Spirit of Woodstock Festival which takes place every year in July / August in Mirapuri-Coiromonte in the North-Italian Mountains together with the Mirapuri Rainbow Gathering and Mirapuri’s one and only original
Bavarian Oktoberfest in Italy.
During the Festival Michel Montecrossa and The Chosen Few sing and play along with international guest-bands for a happy
and enthusiastic audience.
MIRAKALI
MIRAPURI CYBERROCK AND
CLIMATE CHANGE SONGS
So wild, so sweet our music, living for love, for love
alone. Music of freedom, life, delight and a wide intensity of a future already here, singing with magic
of our Cyberrock Dream. It’s music of Mirapuri, of a
dream that became reality. Exploding bliss, emerging waves of ardent energy, ever expanding consciousness, fire-rock-smile of life. All songs I sing,
I sing for Michel, my love, my best friend and all
I love. All our songs are about our life of love and
freedom. We are rockin’ fighters, we are lovin’ rebels
of a future of endless bliss.

Music for me is life: it is fire, burnin’
strong and hot. The dream that touches deep the heart and the energy, that
turns you on and makes you happy
and feel good. It’s great to play futuristic cyberrock and to dive into atmospheres of romantic trance songs. As
a singer I express love and the experience of life. Music is for me the key
to new ideas, strong feelings and the
push to go higher.

Endlich mal wieder Metal in seiner reinen Form! Nachdem es
kurz nach dem Gründungsjahr
2008 schon mit ersten Konzerten
losging, rollt die Band kontinuierlich, und mit stetig wachsender
Begeisterung des geneigten Publikums, die Clubs auf. Sie teilten
die Bühnen bereits mit Bands
wie, The new Black, Masterstroke,
Rockorchester Horst Müller, etc…
Derzeit ist deren neue CD “between darkness and light” in den
Startlöchern, welche vorab in furiosen Liveauftritten den Zuhörern präsentiert wird. Mit einem
Gespür für das Publikum, der Leidenschaft der Musiker und professionellem Auftreten schafft es
NIGHTTRAIN immer wieder den
Laden zum kochen zu bringen!

ONE STEP
FURTHER
HARDROCK FROM GERMANY
Die Hardrockformation ONE STEP FURTHER aus Limburg (Hessen/Deutschland) wurde ursprünglich in den späten 1980er
Jahren gegründet und zählte seinerzeit rund drei Jahre
lang zu den Aushängeschildern der heimischen Musikszene. Kurz nach dem Gewinn des „Da Capo-Bandcontest“ der renommierten Woodland Music Studios im
Jahr 1991 trennte sich das Quartett, um sich sage
und schreibe 17 Jahre später wieder zusammenzufinden. Seit 2008 pflegt ONE STEP FURTHER
einen sehr individuellen Stil, der straighte Riffs,
groovende Rhythmen und eingängige Refrains
zu einem stimmigen Gesamtbild vereint, welches
durch den Einsatz von variablen Cleanvocals und
Growls abgerundet wird. Vor allem aber die Tatsache, dass Elemente aus nahezu allen der inzwischen
unzähligen Genres des Rock und Metal einfließen,
hebt die Musik aus einer breiten Masse hervor. Spätestens mit Veröffentlichung der CD-EP „Troublespots“ im
Jahr 2010, welche mit überaus positiven Kritiken von MuSong on the Hit CD 2012:
sik-Fachredaktionen und Sendestationen bedacht wurde,
Flying High
hat ONE STEP FURTHER einen Weg eingeschlagen, der die
Band zunehmend ins Licht der Öffentlichkeit führte und Band Members: Heiko Hergenhahn (Bass, Vocals) •
auf dem es der gestiegenen Erwartungshaltung an die David Barfuß (Gitarre, Vocals) • Armin Geilen (Gitarre,
Backing Vocals) • Frank Ferdinand (Drums)
weitere Entwicklung gerecht zu werden gilt.

The Buttered Bacon Biscuits are born around
in 2008 by the meeting of musicians belonging to other bands from the surroundings of Faenza and Forlì, such as
Circus Nebula, Goldrust, Deadwood,
Explode. The band is composed by
RICKY DAL PANE on Vocals and
Guitars; ALEX CELLI on Guitar;
ALESSANDRO ARONI on Bass
Guitar and ANTONIO PERUGINI on
Drums. The agreement inside the
band result to be so high that
it brings them in a short time to
record their first album “FROM THE
SOLITARY WOODS”, which is released
at the end of 2009 and then acquired and
distributed by BLACK WIDOW RECORDS. The album is
excellently welcomed both from criticism and from the
public, getting very good reviews on well-known italian and foreign magazines. During the recordings, a
new member joins definitively the band: the Organist
STEFANO OLIVI. The BBB starts a series of concerts to
promote the album. At the end of 2010, ANDREA PALLI, from Bad Ambition - known local band with two
albums recorded - replaces Perugini on Drums. With
the new drummer, BBB begins to write new songs for
the new album, that it comes out at the end of 2011

BOUNCIN’ B. C.
Bouncin B.C ist eine (Street-)Punkband aus
dem Großraum Landshut. Da die Band ihrer niederbayerischen Herkunft gerecht werden will, bezieht STREET PUNK FROM GERMANY
sie sich sehr deutlich auf ihre Heimat, die Hallertau, dem
größten zusammenhängenden Hopfenanbaugebiet der Welt. Sie steht
zu ihren Wurzeln und bezieht sie in den Sound des Streetpunks mit
ein, der von einer Prise Rock’n Roll und dem frühen amerikanischen
Punkrock begleitet wird. „Wir wollen uns nicht auf den Drei-Akkorde-Punk beschränken!“, ist die Attitüde der Gruppe. Zu den Bands,
die „Bouncin B.C.“ bezüglich des Songwritings im Laufe der Jahre
stets beeinflusst haben, zählen beispielsweise die Punkrockveteranen
Social Distortion und The Ramones, sowie weitere etablierte Bands,
wie Born to Lose und Far From Finished. Das Bestreben liegt dabei
darin, die richtige Mischung aus schnellem, tanzbarem Punkrock und
eingängigen Melodien an den Zuhörer weiterzugeben. Dabei bildet
das Publikum einen wichtigen Bestandteil der Live-Shows. Auf der
Bühne geht es der Band hauptsächlich um Authentizität und darum,
dem Publikum das Gefühl zu geben, dass sie ehrlichen, direkten Punkrock spielt. Die Identifikation mit der Szene, sowie der Vorsatz, die
Subkultur aufleben zu lassen, verknüpft „Bouncin’ B.C. mit ihren musikalischen Wurzeln. Jedes Mitglied der Gruppierung trägt diesen Gedanken weiter und sie bleiben sich trotz steigender Lebenserfahrung
treu, was sie auch an ihre Zuhörer weitergeben. Die Texte handeln
hauptsächlich von sozialkritischen Themen, aber auch vom Feiern,
vom Spaß haben und von persönlichen Erfahrungen. Beispiel aus dem
Inhalt des Liedes „Sojabarbey“ vom kommenden Debüt-Album: (…
new fashion every year, present the bones my dear, size zero BMI,
hungry until you die…) Die Hauptmotivation ist der Spaß und die
Liebe zur Musik, das Kennenlernen Gleichgesinnter und das Vermitteln ihrer Message. Die Band spielt nicht zusammen, um damit den Band Members: Ferd Hamal (Vocals) •
Lebensunterhalt der einzelnen zu bestreiten, sondern kreativ zu sein Bouncin Ecki (Lead Guitar) • Johnny B. Gugg
und anderen Personen die Ergebnisse zu präsentieren.

One-man-acoustic-country-folkpunk since 2009, influenced

as by punkrockers like Social Distortion or Flogging
Molly. One voice, one acoustic guitar, three or four
chords, catchy sing-along-melodies and lyrics from
the heart. This is Rock’n’Roll in its most original
way. Shared the stage with international folkpunk
acts like Street Dogs (US), The Dreadnoughts

THE
STRANGE
FLOWERS
GARAGE HOUSE FROM ITALY
The Strange Flowers career spans over 3 decades, having the band
been founded in Pisa in late 1987 by Michele Marinò, Giovanni Bruno, Alessandro Pardini (soon replaced by Stefano Montefiori) and
Maurizio Falciani. The current line up includes Michele Marinò (vocals and guitars), Nicola Cionini (guitars and backing vocals),
Alessandro Santoni (bass and backing vocals) and Gabriele Pozzolini (drums and percussions).
After a short break, the band started to work on a new album in early 2011,
which was recorded in the fall of the same year, to be released on 15-122011. According to the band, The Grace Of Losers is by far their best
album ever. The psychedelic dilatations of the past, even if still
present, leave room to the fairy visions of paisley-pop, to
the irony of beat, to the impetus of garage-rock. The
band will be on tour beginning on 17-12-2011.

MARTIN
CREEK
ROCK / POP FROM GERMANY
Den heidelberger Sänger und Songwriter Martin Creek findet man im Bereich der Rock/Pop Musik wieder. Mit 22
Jahren begann er in seiner ersten Band zu spielen und
eignete sich neue Fähigkeiten an, womit er seine
ersten Erfolge erzielte. 2011 startet er dann seine Solokarriere eindrucksvoll mit der Debüt
EP “Where do I belong”. In seinen Songs
versteht er es alltägliche Themen aufzugreifen und diese dem Zuhörer nahe zu
bringen. Beeinflusst von Musikgrößen
wie Robbie Williams und Bon Jovi präsentiert sich Martin Creek nicht einfach
nur als Sänger, sondern vielmehr als
emotionales und authentisches Gesamtpaket, das sich hervorragend mit
der heutigen Musik identifiziert.

The band’s story begins in 2007 in Leverkusen Poetry Fact, as a couple of 16-17 year old
boys decided to make music together and act as Red Hot Chili Peppers cover band. But
when they realized that despite or perhaps because of constant change of band members,
nothing sensible came about and there is no success hired, Tim decided, Sandro and Thomas
to put something unique on their feet. The instruments were distributed quickly and fairly
spontaneous. Tim began playing guitar and was determined to singer; Sandro, who played
a bit more in his spare time, was put behind the drums and bass Thomas went on to easily.
Poetry Fact had a few teething problems. As it turned out, the songwriting was not easy with little experience, what did the
band come quickly to criticism. But instead of being
discouraged them experimented Tim, Sandro and
Thomas simply continue with various styles
of music, they played with tact switch, the
songs were longer and caught three se
for Progressive interested skirt, then what
should ultimately be the style in which
The band developed. Otherwise, however,
any classification of Poetry Fact is difficult,
because the band puts much emphasis on
an entirely independent and unique sound
have to, which settles from all others. The
three guys do not want simply to adjust but
above all let their own ideas and their own
personal experiences into the music.
Im November 2009, haben sich vier Musiker entschlossen, sich aus ihren nahezu 10 Jahre alten Bandgefüge zu
befreien, um das nächste Kapitel aufzuschlagen...
Ein Jahr schlossen Sie die Pforten zur Außenwelt um sich einzukerkern, Songs
zu schreiben und aufzunehmen.
Am 11. Dezember 2010 war
es dann soweit, ihre erste
EP wurde live im WU5 in
Dresden vorgestellt. Vor
ausverkauftem
Haus
wurde Skipdown live
geboren und vom Publikum begeistert aufgenommen. „Pathetic
Fanatic“ wurde das
Erstlingswerk kurzerhand betitelt. Am ehesten ist das was sie da machen als Neo-Thrash oder
Groove-Metal mit einem
gehörigen Schuss Wahnsinn zu
beschreiben. Skipdown besteht
aus Sille der die Drums bearbeitet,
Fred der an den fünf Saiten zupft, Matt der
dem Ganzen seine Stimme gibt und die Riff-Gitarre bedient und Mr. Brewer für Shred- und Riff-Gitarre zuständig.

Born in Australia to a classically trained Sri Lankan mother, Raj
Siva-Rajah was a boy caught between two worlds. From the age
of 8 he began mastering the classical Carnatic music of the east,
while falling in love with the progressive rock sound of the 70’s. In
2006 Raj met lead guitarist Bob Spencer and soon after The Sunpilots were born. The Sunpilots released their debut album Living
Receiver in late 2008 to rave reviews in Europe, Australia and the
US including a MusicOz award, an “Indie Album of the Year” and
two “Indie Album of the Week” awards from music press. Since
then the band has completed 5 high-profile tours, achieved a #1
most added song on Australian radio, music video airplay on Video
Hits (VH) and Channel V in 8 countries and has earned a reputation
from street press to Rolling Stone as a must-see live act. This success
was recognised when The Sunpilots won RadioAustralia’s ‘New Artists
2 Radio’ (NA2R) award and performed at the Australian Radio Awards
to a national audience. Now based in Berlin, The Sunpilots have played
over 180 shows and 23 festivals across Europe since September, winning
over crowds in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, the UK, France, The Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Poland, Hungary, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania
and more. With performances reviewers have described as “electric” and
“stadium-worthy”, the band is quickly becoming a festival favourite.

Inspired by bucolic atmospheres and themes that explore the most intimate feelings, Tequila Funk Experience propose an unpredictable rock held by
folk and blues roots, which vocal harmonies and various features can rely on. As a long journey, their guitars adroitly
bounce between vigorous and airy sounds while the
intersection of dynamics creates bright, blooming
and dreamy atmospheres. While going beyond
various psychedelic paths, they never miss
a choral sense of unity that distinguishes
them in paths that sometimes melt and
mix with dream. Conceptually, Tequila
Funk Experience care about specific topics such as “green revolution” and “zero
impact”.

Song on the
Hit CD 2012:
Le macchine da scrivere
I Karenina sono all’esordio, ma in realtà non lo sono: stranezze dovute a un cambiamento di stato, ma non di forma, a una
ragione sociale che muta, ma che non altera le componenti fondamentali che danno vita a un progetto in pieno sviluppo
da quasi due anni. Triste Colore Rosa è stata la crisalide dalla quale è nata la farfalla Karenina. Ilprocesso, veicolato da un
cambio di nome e ufficializzato a ottobre del 2011, è dovuto all’arricchirsi della musica del gruppo di sfumature nuove, in
parte distanti dall’universo di “Scomparire in 11 semplici mosse”. Musica che prenderà forma completa nel disco “Il futuro
che ricordavo”, in uscita a inizio 2012, anticipato dal singolo e videoclip “Colore”.
