Helmet in Rome
The origins of Helmet started in 1989 in the city of New York. Despite that the band has experienced many changes, its leader, singer and guitarist Page Hamilton has carried on as the captain of this ship of alternative metal that still makes the headlines with its new fans who are nostalgic of the 90s and who enjoy the best rock of that time. During the band´s existence, despite the change in band members and their split for many years, Helmet has produced seven official albums, an important feat for a band of the alternative global scene. Their first production was the classic ´Strap It On´, from 1990, a long time before the explosion of grunge and the Seattle Scene, before Guns N´ Roses bored everyone to death with their Elton John-esque pretentions with ´Use Your Illlusion´ 1 and 2, much before that the radio waves in the United States tuned into Seattle and bands like Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains and Smashing Pumpkins became popular. After the edition of ´Nevermind´ by Nirvana in 1991, Helmet had their chance to come out to the world in 1992 with the also classic album ´Meantime´, which brought them instant commercial success. The album is an abrasive mix of metal, grunge, math rock and hardcore, bringing them closer to what was to be, many years later, the nu-metal sound that many bands such as Korn or Limp Bizkit popularized to make money with their terrible sound. To clarify: Helmet was first and much better. ´Unsung´ was the video that would make them famous thanks to MTV. Then, seeing a band of guys...

Antoni Muntadas at MACBA in Barcelona
If you are still interested in art projects that use an interview format, you can’t miss the exhibition “Between the Frames: the Forum” by Antoni Muntadas, which can be visited at MACBA until the 20th of May, in the framework of the broader exhibition “Volum!”, which has a joint collection of works from La Caixa Foundation and the MACBA Museum. The overall project, which is more extensive, consist of more than 150 hours of interviews with art agents, recorded by the same Antoni Muntadas in the decade 1983-1993. These years were very interesting for the artist because they were crucial in accommodating parts of the “art system”, when the role of curators and collectors began to take increasing importance in the creation of works and – above all – in the selection of what is exposed and what was hidden, as well as, the decisions of institutions and critics who began to dramatically influence on those who were in and out. Trying to understand the motion of this system from inside out, Muntadas approached this with a critical eye and with the intention of bringing together the contributions into a file (key word in the artistic creation of those years). Thus, he interviewed dealers, collectors, gallerists, personalities of museums and institutions, guides, critics, media and, of course, artists. 8 different agents, which in the sample are represented by 8 rooms lit with different colors, in which there are some screens that broadcast a selection of interviews. The other interviews, which don’t appear in the sample of MACBA, are freely available in the Documentation Centre and Museum Studies, located next...
White Trash Fast Food in Berlin
If someone says to you, lets go for dinner at ´White Trash Fast Food´, I would not blame you for thinking that the food might not be that good. But do not let the name fool you, this alternative cafe and live music venue does some of the best burgers in Berlin. Open everyday of the week, this venue has something to please every crowd. Grab a group of friends and get in early to get your table upstairs in the smoke, dark lit and eccentrically decorated cabaret style dining room. Sit back and relax with a drink and tuck in to one of their infamous burgers. All burgers come in a vegetarian option as well so everyone is well catered for. If you are not in the mood for a burger then do not despair, the menu is sure to satisfy with influences from around the globe. The chefs at this crazy restaurant have taken the best from Germany, Asia, Mexico, France and Switzerland, given it a twist and sent it hurtling out from the kitchen to throw you into a food frenzy. You could try the Sticky Asian BBQ & Sexy Mamsans’ “flied” shrimps, L.A. style burritos or perhaps the “Valley” Porno-Nachos will be more to your liking. Most nights there will be live music in the restaurant from about 9pm, anything from folk trio to a Johnny Cash Tribute band. Downstairs the music pumps on until later in the night with a more disco, dance, trance genre on offer. For a more chilled out evening then there is the Smoking Cinema which shows the best of all time underground cinema. This literally is a smoking cinema where you can bring a packet,...EuroSol Motos Valencia
