Young Fathers: New Video Featured In Guardian Music
Young Fathers' new video for 'Old Rock'n'Roll', was shot in Malawi around the time of their appearance at the 'Lake Of Stars' festival, and is featured in Guardian Music.
Young Fathers on 'Old Rock'n'Roll'.
"Elvis wasn't the king of rock'n'roll. Kanye played Glastonbury. You can't keep us in the uuuuurban stations, bestial hip-hop, token crazy militant black people cupboard, under the stairs, poor-doors entrance.
We have keys to the front door. We are black and white.The story is: the drum, the rhythm, from Africa to New Orleans; rape to create white value; proximity, black to white; sounds bleeding through clapboard walls; Rock'n'roll born from pain.
Bo Diddley is rock'n'roll.
Those fences erected are puny. To keep the blacks and the whites separate. We are black and white and we pull them down. They are dust.
Commerce demands packaging. We package ourselves. And some people get it. Paul Weller gets it. He knew some in his audience would have a hard time accepting it, but the man knows where his music comes from, he knows Stevie Marriott checked for soul and R&B, he knows the Beatles checked for Motown. He knows modern music and he ain't afraid to show it.
Here, have some of this, it tastes modern.
It's a culture collision but open your mind and it works. Young Fathers are supporting Paul Weller - predict that.
In the midst of this UK tour, while Britain First are trying to spawn all over the internet, while politicians and press fight to expectorate the most poisonous, anti-immigrant ignorance, we give you Old Rock'n'Roll, a journey across centuries, bringing it back to Africa, to Malawi, bringing the faces and sounds of humans, migrating, because they are captured or scared or hungry, as they always have done. And we're saying, it's alright. In the heart of the Congo, it's alright.
In the heart of Essex, it's alright. Don't be afraid. This country can afford it. If we can afford bombs we can afford blankets and a welcome.
Old Rock'n'Roll. Not what you've been told."

FLESH: UK Tour & NME Awards Show
Fresh from their first UK headline tour and several big support slots with the likes of DMA's and Darlia; FLESH have announced they will be playing one of the prestigious NME Awards shows associated with Austin texas in February 2016 supporting together PANGEA.
The show also coincides with a full UK tour supporting the LA rockers together PANGEA and a headline date at Stoke's infamous Sugarmill on January 29th. Plus following their sold out show in October, FLESH will return to headline Manchester's Sound Control for the venue's 6th Birthday Party on January 30th.
With a great response to the band's debut single which enjoyed airplay from Radio X (Radio XFM), BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music and BBC Introducing, FLESH have also packed out club shows across the country too! The band also received lots of press love from the likes of DIY, Line of Best Fit, GigSlutz, Manchester Evening News & many more for the release of their first mini digital EP ('W8 4 ME' / 'DEAD LONELY'). Emphatically FLESH also self-released single 'Not GNA' in the summer too with their low budget DIY YouTube flick picking up 15K views in just a couple of months! The lads also took time out to do a live cascade session performing their EP in full.
A lot has happened over past few months but the band aren't slowing down one bit. Hazza, Robbie, Cozza and Jon are currently in the process of writing and recording more of their snotty, smutty new wave Britpop / indie rock infused with epic guitar riffs and Madchester beats.
So watch this space for more news to come...www.play.spotify.com/album/2PXkEsHeiAFaiBOCWsedTC

Tomorrowland: 'This Was Tomorrow' The Movie
The year 2015 will be chronicled as magical, mythical and memorable. The people of Tomorrow experienced Tomorrowland on three continents this year. The 3rd chapter of the magnificent fairy-tale was written in Brazil for the first time welcoming over 180,000 people from all over the world. Perhaps most notable, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon delivered a special message to the People of Tomorrow honouring the similarities between Tomorrowland and The United Nations.
All these and many more precious moments were captured in a fascinating movie 'This Was Tomorrow' the motion picture of a magnificent year. The 75 minutes story shows why Tomorrowland is so much more than just a festival and became a unique and global symbol of unity that connects people from all over the world.
From December 1st until December 14th, the world can discover 'This Was Tomorrow' as a free gift on:
