Aristopunks A.M. mit neuer Website

Hallo liebe Freunde, Fans und Kollegen!

Wie Ihr seht, sind wir zur Zeit mit aller Kraft und verfügbaren Ressourcen dabei unsere Website neu zu gestalten. In diesem bisher noch großen Durcheinander kommt in den nächsten Tagen wieder mehr Ordnung rein. Das heißt nicht, dass unsere Arbeit liegen bleibt. Nur bis wir wieder für euch online vollständig präsent sind, wird es noch ein klein wenig dauern. Wir bitten um euer Verständnis.

Das neue Jahr ist jetzt bereits einen Monat alt und es gibt viel zu tun. Trotz Revamp der Website geht es bei uns im Office nach wie vor genauso weiter. Wir halten euch in Zukunft noch mehr auf dem laufenden, als wir bisher schon ohnehin (hoffentlich gut genug) getan haben. Das Euronsonic ist für dieses Jahr überstanden. Wir freuen uns auf ein spannendes und erlebnisreiches Jahr 2010 mit euch!

Euer Team von Aristopunks A.M.

The 2010 European Border Breaker Awards (EBBA’s) were presented by the European Commission in a spectacular TV show on the opening night of the EuroSonic Noorderslag Festival in Groningen (the Netherlands), in the presence of H.R.H. Princess Máxima of the Netherlands, numerous VIP’s and 1200 visitors. The awards’ show, which featured live performances by eight of the ten award-winning acts, will be broadcast throughout Europe in the coming days and weeks. After an online vote, the Belgian winner Milow was also awarded the first ever Public Choice EBBA.

By granting these awards, the European Commission, in cooperation with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), rewards debut artists and groups who have successfully crossed national borders and reached audiences outside their home country. At the same time the prizes highlight and promote the richness and diversity of European music, its creativity, and its role in bringing people together and forging mutual understanding.

The show was presented by BBC-TV personality Jools Holland and former EBBA winner Ida Corr and included live performances by Milow, Esmee Denters, Kerli, Sliimy, Jenny Wilson, Giusy Ferreri, Charlie Winston and Soap&Skin.

Peter Fox and Buraka Som Sistema were unable to attend but sent a video message.

The show received European coverage through the EBU broadcasting network of European television and radio stations in the following territories: The Netherlands, Bulgaria, Estonia, Luxemburg, Portugal, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, Ireland, Finland and Slovakia.

This year’s winners of a European Border Breakers Award are:

Charlie Winston (UK) – “Hobo”
Esmee Denters (NL) – “Outta Here”
Sliimy (FR) – “Paint Your Face”
Jenny Wilson (SE) – “Hardships”
Milow (BE) – “Milow”
Giusy Ferreri (IT) – “Gaetana”
Soap&Skin (AU) – “Lovetune For Vacuum
Peter Fox (GE) – “Stadtaffe”
Kerli (EST) – “Love Is Dead”
Buraka Som Sistema (PT) – “Black Diamond”

The European Border Breakers Awards highlight the need to open up the European market to European creativity and to stimulate the mobility of artists and their work within Europe and beyond. They are funded through the EU Culture Programme, which also funds the European Union Contemporary Architecture Prize, the European Union Prize for Cultural Heritage and the  European Union Prize for Literature.
