Iron Maiden and their Maiden England in New York

Mónica Boixeda New Yorker, Only-Be

If you´re in the right place at the right time in 2012, you´ll surely be able to enjoy one of the most highly-awaited shows of the year. On the 2nd of July, the legendary British heavy metal band Iron Maiden will offer one of their international tour concerts in New York. There can´t be a better prospect for any fan of the band and, if you´re one of those who has never seen them live, you can´t miss out on this event. The concert is part of the new tour of this legendary band formed in 1975 in Leyton, East London. Maiden England North American Tour 2012 arrives at its second phase to see some of the most important cities in the USA and Canada, so it´s not excessively international and some of us will have to cross the pond to go there. The 2nd of July concert will take place in Newark, NY, and the band will play their final gig on the 18th of August in Houston, TX, although supposedly there will be new dates for 2013. Obviously, ´The Final Frontier´, the latest album of the band released in 2010, will have a special place in the concert playlists, but Iron Maiden will also play their classic songs and others that were lying in music oblivion. In fact, this new tour is a tribute or is based on the famous 1988 tour 7th Tour of a 7th Tour , to bring to the stage the first album of Iron Maiden that included keyboards, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Precisely, in the winter of ´89, still during the... read more

Mónica Boixeda Barcelonian, Only-Be

Barcelona is one of the best cities in the world to spend a summer vacation. This city is not only about the beach and sun, but is also full of entertaining sights and nearby places that allow you to choose the best activities to transform each day into a unique one. To give you a few ideas about what to do on your vacation so you don’t have to waste precious time looking for activities, we will give you some guidance about the most attractive destinations in the surrounding area. Do you enjoy nature and swimming in the sea? If so, we recommend you go to the nudist beaches where you can enjoy the soft sand, sea and sun in direct contact with all of your skin. A few kilometers from Barcelonaone can visit the beautiful town of Sitges with its nude beaches. Els Balmins is one such beach and it’s located in the urban area of the coast. There you can find all kinds of services, and since it is very easy to reach it has a high number of visitors. If you prefer to enjoy nudity in more private locations, Sitges offers two alternatives: Cala Morisca and the Playa de Roses – La Desenrocada. These are, however, more difficult to access and don’t offer any services. You can also stroll through the city, eat at restaurants along the beach or watch the sunset with a cocktail by candlelight while enjoying good music in the Bar Villa Lola. Or if you want to eat delicious food in a place with ambiance, the restaurant Pic Nic is a good... read more

Two Door Cinema Club and Metronomy Concert in Istanbul

Mónica Boixeda Istanbulite, Only-Be

Talking about indie is like talking about God: everyone has an opinion, everyone thinks they know something about it, everyone knows about its possible existence and everyone has felt its presence at some point in their lives. In the same way, nobody knows exactly what it´s about, where it´s found, how it´s listened to, for who he works and whether all of that is important. Indie spreads around the world like an unresolved dilemma, produced, elaborated and commercially exploited more and more all the time. The word ´indie´ has lost its meaning: the independence of the music industry. Indie today is transmitted to a much larger and diverse crowd, which is definitely something positive. However, indie has lost its danger and the aesthetic experimentation that saw it rise over 40 years ago. And so, the indie market has expanded on all the continents, and bands such as Two Door Cinema Club and Metronomy have an almost universal audience. This phenomenon is a result of the impact of the social networks. Both bands began their career towards stardom in the early part of this century. Metronomy, since 1999 to be precise, created an elegant electro-pop sound since its first recordings. With three studio albums and one remix one, Metronomy is the most elegant pop that you can listen to today. A sound made with seductive guitar and bass, the voice of their singer Joseph Mount and his Italian-Mafia-style falsettos mix with the synthesizer, keyboard and electronic sounds. Its recent album, ´The English Riviera´ (2011) is still receiving praise from all the music critics. The history of Two Door Cinema Club... read more
