Edgar Varese Pd30/06/06
One of the most influential, innovative and inspiring composers of the 20th Century, Edgard Varese responded to advances in modern science in a climate of global conflict to create music that broke down the fragile remnants of diatonic tonality and embraced 'noise'. His intellectual shift from the dominance of melodic progression to a more textural approach to composition would see him revered by such cultural figureheads as Igor Stravinsky, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Frank Zappa and others. His 'Poem Electronique' was one of the first examples of a purely artificial, studio-made composition, and would act as a blueprint for later Electroacoustic explorations. The work Ionisation for percussion ensemble included air-raid sirens and was described by the New York Times as a 'terrible and marvelous work'. The 1954 premier of Deserts caused an uproar comparable to the infamous response to The Rite Of Spring some fifty years earlier.

Rocky Horror Concept Cult Pd14/07/06
When a small company of jobbing actors set out on the very first production of The Rocky Horror Show at the Royal Court Theatre on the Kings Road, London, in 1973, no one could have realised what a world-wide phenomenon it would become. Initially receiving mixed reviews, the stage show would enjoy a short life, but the subsequent film would steadily build a cult student following, filling hundreds of cinemas on a weekly basis, and gaining huge video sales.

Stiff Little Fingers Song By Song
Belfast punk rockers Stiff Little Fingers crashed into the public consciousness in 1977, when their first self-financed single Suspect Device was played every night for over a week by revered DJ John Peel. The band's debut LP Inflammable Material was the first album pressing for the now hugely significant Rough Trade label. Their songs were anthemic and politically acute, at a time of great turbulence and social unrest.
