Idag startar Future Echoes
- Musik – Band och artister
Äntligen är den internationella showcasefestivalen tillbaka i Norrköping igen. Med start idag torsdag den 16/2 blir det tre fulla dagar av möten, seminarier, showcasespelningar och nätverkande mellan bransch, band och musiker från världens alla hörn.
Förutom de ca 100 akter som ska spela live runtom på stadens alla scener har Sensus plockat ut 3 akter från den breda musikverksamheten och detta år är det dessa akter som är utvalda:
La La Superstar (SE) - Saturday 8 pm at Harrys, is a kind of punk band that was formed in the winter of 2021, since then they have played over 20 gigs around Sweden, played as a opening act for bob hund at Debaser and a successful Storsjöyran gig. The music is inspired by post punk, kraut rock, country, surf rock etc. The band consists of Agnes Thofelt, Jack Lindqvist, Joshua Gregory and Tilda Staf.
Lovi Did This (SE) - Saturday 11 pm at Black Box 1, makes emotional and timeless ”Twin-Peaks-pop” with strong melodies, Tarantino guitars and quirky instruments. The debut album ”Monsters”, released in autumn 2022, was lifted by top charts as best album both in Sweden (DN) and internationally (Brazil, Germany), and her equally odd music videos have won prizes at several international film festivals. Live, Lovi Did This is a Talking-Heads-like experience with many musicians on stage, odd choreography and a strong own expression. Really capturing the audience, for instance at Debaser’s festival for tomorrow’s artists in December 2022, this has led to Lovi Did This being booked for an Australia tour and Liveurope pinpointing the band as one of the live acts to keep an eye on 2023.
Karl Oskar (SE) - Saturday 6 pm at Pronto, is a Swedish singer & songwriter from Norrköping. His debut solo album "wish you were here" were released by Oliver Glenn Records late summer 2021. Karl Oskars home recorded lofi pop songs have been described as "a catchy and sentimental batch of intimate lofi indie tracks that are as well-written and infectious as they are touching to the soul. Packed with jangly chords, softly sung vocals and barely-there percussion that's perfect for the feelings this album conveys, "wish you were here" is downright infectious and radiates energy that's meant for long cold weather walks.
Förutom showcasespelningarna kommer akterna att erbjudas möjlighet att delta på branschseminarierna och en gemensam träff där personal från Sensus guidar dem hur man kan få ut det mesta av sin medverkan på festivalen.
Att som band eller artist få möjligheten att delta och uppträda på en showcasefestival som Future Echoes, innebär möjligheter och ett lärande som är svårt att uppnå på andra sätt. Att få möta branschpersoner, uppträda för dessa och dessutom kunna delta i ett digert seminarieprogram är guld värt!
