For over a decade now Primavera Sound has been offering consistently successful musical events. This Barcelona music promoter has, since its modest beginnings, developed a strong commitment to music so that spectators of different generations can enjoy live music to the full. This is clearly reflected in the quality and innovation of its line-ups that exude coherence, eclecticism and the love of risk-taking.
Primavera Sound will broadcast some of the most keenly anticipated concerts of the 2012 line up on its video cannel Primavera TV hosted on Youtube. The programme is made up of a total of 22 concerts ( among others Mazzy Star, Veronica Falls, Saint Etienne, The Rapture, The Drums, The Cure…) that will be broadcast live during the three main days of the event in the Parc del Fòrum from Thursday 31st May until Saturday 2nd for those of you who cannot come to the festival.

“She Bop” was released in 1984. as the third single from Cyndi’s debut album “She’s So Unusual”. The song was considered controversial, as it dealt with the subject matter of masturbation. It was also included on the Parents Music Resource Center’s “Filthy Fifteen” list, due to its sexual lyrics; this led to the creation of the Parental Advisory sticker. (Other songs on the “Filthy Fifteen” list included tracks by Madonna, Prince, and AC/DC.) In an interview on The Howard Stern Show, Lauper stated that she recorded the vocals of the song while nude.

Yan Wagner is a young Parisian who made his first solo appearances during an extended stay in New York City back in 2008. This September he will release his debut album. Analog synths, deep bass rhythms colorful 80’s merged with a low voice sounds like a winning combination.
Yan writes and performs all his songs and does wicked remixes for other people. His influences range from Depeche Mode to D.A.F., from Prince to Tangerine Dream, from italo disco to early Detroit Techno…
Forty eight hours is the first track from Yan’s upcoming debut album (co-produced by Arnaud Rebotini of Black Strobe fame). Very New Orderish. A good thing.
