The Rumours, Macbeth , Silverbus, Downtime

THE RUMOURS is a newcomer band from Dinslaken
(Germany) consisting of four young lads in their early
twenties. Their music can be described as a mixture of
Indierock and Modern Beat.

Founded in September 2006, THE RUMOURS have been
supported by the program “Initiative Musik” with project
funds from the German Federal Government by the end
of 2009. Only a few month later the boys signed a contract
with BMG Rights Management and in June 2010 their debut
"From the corner into your ear" was released. Handmade
and in your face! It does not rely on bells and whistles and
unnecessary bulk, but has got everything that modern beat
needs: catchy tunes, straight-ahead rhythms, joy of playing
and an unique voice. Pounding, expressive, positive!

Macbeth is an indie rock band that formed in November 2008 in Taipei, Taiwan. The band composes of Mai Su (bass/vocal), Howie Yu (guitar/vocal), Ian Chen (drum) and Michael Xu (keyboard).

Macbeth played their first gig at UnderWorld in July 2009. They were then invited to play at the 2009 White Label, Free Tibet Music, 2010 Megaport Music Festival, The Next Big Thing and many other music festivals. A report by Liberty Times in March 2010 evaluated Macbeth as one of the Top Six Must-Hear Indie Bands in Taiwan and their original composition, Red Light City, was selected as the theme song of the Rock Revelation in 2010 Taipei Golden Hourse Film Festival.

The band's sound contains a mix of resonant bass, rhythmic guitar and the frolicsome keyboard and drums offer a joyful dance music element into their songs. With each composition Macbeth introduces new elements of sound in order to provide the audiences with endless pleasure and excitement.
