Depeche Mode, Once Again?!

Today, I want to share the great news I've read on the official web site of "Depeche Mode" with you. When the band came to Turkey for a concert in 2006, I couldn't go although I had my tickets. However, I learned that "Depeche Mode" has decided to organize a European tour named "Tour Of The Universe 2009" which includes 29 countries. The Istanbul concert is going to be on the 14th of May and the tickets will be on sale on the 1st of December. Eventhough it isn't for sure, the concert is planned to be in Kuruçeşme Arena. "Depeche Mode" has significantly many fans in Turkey, especially in Istanbul. Accordingly, many people will go to the Biletix stores at night on the 31st of November and sleep in front of the store for a night as I've read in the Turkish website of "Depeche Mode". So, are you ready for this great concert?? I really want to know if there are "Depeche Mode" fans in our school!! By the way, who do you want to read in my blog as my next post? Please comment and tell me who you want.

A Rising Star: Coldplay

As you were all following, the winner of the blog's poll is Coldplay. Accordingly, I thougt you'd all want to read a bit about Coldplay and their legendary song "Viva La Vida" today.

Coldplay is an alternative rock band from London, that was formed in 1998. The group is formed by vocalist/pianist/guitarist Chris Martin, lead guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman, and drummer/multi-instrumentalist Will Champion. Coldplay has sold over 40 million albums worldwide. Furhermore, the band is well-known with its hit singles like "Yellow", "The Scientist", "Speed of Sound", "Fix You", "Viva la Vida" and the Grammy Award-winning "Clocks". Coldplay achieved worldwide recognition after releasing their first single "Yellow“.,The following-up album “A Rush of Blood to the Head “(2002) won various awards such as NME’s Album of the Year. Their next release, “X&Y” (2005) hasn’T got as much attention as the previous albums.The band's fourth studio album, “Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends” (2008), was Coldplay’s most successful album and the song “Viva La Vida” is a nominee of MTV EMA 2008.

The Unforgetable One: "Nirvana"

Whenever I listen to a song of Nirvana, I still enjoy a lot eventhough thinking of the death of Kurt Cobain makes me really sad. If he was still alive, I'm sure that Nirvana would still be one of the best bands of the world. Accordingly, in order to remember the group and inform the ones who don't know much about Nirvana, today I want to write a brief summary of the bands' history.
Nirvana was an American rock band that was formed by the singer Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic in Washington. Its one of the bands which made a subgenre of Alternative Rock called grunge in the USA with its songs such as "Smells Like Teen Spirit" which was released in 1991. In 2002, "You Know You're Right", an unfinished demo from the band's final recording session, topped radio playlists around the world. Since their debut, the band has sold over twenty five million albums in the US (the other countries are not included) and over fifty million albums were sold in the entire world. Nirvana is often regarded as one of the legendary bands of the recent years.
I'll be putting the videos of some of their songs on the blog.
