Michel Montecrossa #1 Michel Montecrossa #2 Michel Montecrossa #3

Michel Montecrossa, Cyberrocker and Founder of Mirapuri created more than 2200 songs and 50 symphonic compositions. The extraordinary work of Michel Montecrossa is constantly moving further. Fusion of all song-styles, symphonic music and music movies unite to form his unique Cybermusic.
When Michel Montecrossa is not in the studio working on new productions he is on the road together with his band 'The Chosen Few' (Mirakali, Diana Antara, Mirachandra, David Butterfield) presenting with his live-concerts - forty and more every year - a Cyber-Rock-Vision come true.
Michel Montecrossa and his band are living in Mirapuri-Coiromonte, Italy. Their music is a continually evolving message, a Cyber-Rock dream come true. Every month they perform live at the Music-Hall of the Omnidiet Resort and Business Hotel in Mirapuri as well as at the Michel Montecrossa Rock Vision Diner in Gauting near Munich, Germany.
They lead a life of friendship and experience, artistically expressing the impact of life and future possibilities.
Michel Montecrossa and the Chosen Few continuously create new songs, new lyrics, new styles of performance. Every concert is a new Cyber-Rock Journey. It is fascinating to experience them and get the feeling of Cyber-Music which is not isolated in an alien world but part of a consciousness-expanding outlook on things and a practical way of life being more than an alternative to present conformity.
Michel Montecrossa started the Spirit of Woodstock Festival which takes place every year in July / August in Mirapuri-Coiromonte in the North-Italian Mountains together with the Mirapuri Rainbow Gathering and Mirapuri's one and only original Bavarian Oktoberfest in Italy.
During the Festival Michel Montecrossa and The Chosen Few sing and play along with international guest-bands for a happy and enthusiastic audience.

Song (live): Firebride

Diana Antara

Music for me is life: it is fire, burnin' strong and hot. The dream that touches deep the heart and the energy, that turns you on and makes you happy and feel good. It's great to play futuristic cyberrock and to dive into atmospheres of romantic trance songs. As a singer I express love and the experience of life. Music is for me the key to new ideas, strong feelings and the push to go higher.

PENCILCASE

Germany

SWINGCORE-ROCK FROM GERMANY

Pencilcase

PENCILCASE are passionate and very committed musicians, who preferably find themselves performing live on stage. Thus they toured Europe twice and had already played 250 concerts during the first couple of band-years, already. Performing for example in London (The Underworld/The Garage), Manchester, Birmingham, Genoa, Milan, Duesseldorf (Tor3), Cologne, Munich and Berlin (Wild at Heart).
PENCILCASE have shared the stage e.g. with Dog Eat Dog, Samiam, Claus Grabke`s Alternative Allstars, Brant Bjork, Knorkator, Sub7even, Lord Bishop, Thomas D's Son Guko and the Mimmi's - and have long surpassed the 300dthst concert mark. In autumn 2004, part of their performance at the German TV -Rockpalast- was broadcast in one transmission row with the H-Blockx and Doro. In 2006, the world wide release of the Atari PC-game -CRASHDAY- featured 3 PENCILCASE songs, including the title (theme) Song.
The four guys also have a lot of fun playing acoustical Instruments. "Reduce to the max!" Wasn't that the slogan? Far beyond common unplugged-melancholy-stereotypes, PENCILCASE do not at all sound less groovy or less whole-hearted in their -acoustified- mode. An autonomous full-value character: The Pencilcase Swingcore Combo!
PENCILCASE self-label their music -Swingcore- with a winking smile. Who witnesses them perform rocktified or acoustified, will rediscover what enthusiasm, dynamic performance and play joy are able to cause! And that's no platitude.
CD-Releases: SWINGCORE- (Album - Feb.29th-08 - Modern Noise/Cargo), -YOUR MOUTH- (Single - Feb.29th-08 - Modern Noise/Cargo), -R.a.W.- (Unplugged-EP - Tombeat Recs), -CRASHDAY- (Soundtrack - Moonbite / Atari), -LIVE- (DVD/CD - Tombeat Recs), -HERE WE ARE- (3Track - Tombeat Recs), -FOR THE KIDS- (Album - Antagonist Records), -SEARCH FOR THE STARS- (Album - Construct Recordings)

SCAB

Germany

ALTERNATIVE PUNK ROCK FROM GERMANY

Scab

SCAB defies musical convention; SCAB plays a combination of Punk and Rock, and also the two styles separately. SCAB's is fast, direct and infectious. Intelligently built-up Guitar riffs and a powerful beat, sometimes with a direct link to the audience's energy source, sometimes with a floating 6/8 rythm, as dangerous and as beautiful as the 'Kick' from a Rollercoasterride. There is a meeting of opposites: now is the melancholy tones together with the cynical but clear vocals, now it is an autumnal song with enough power to jump-start the springtime, and still later it is strong hymn-like guitar chorus that soars through clear blue skies.
On stage the pressure build up of each and every song discharges itself with a sudden explosion which tears the audience along like a rip-tide. SCAB has proved itself in over 250 concerts in Germany, Austria, Italy, Belgium, Czechoslovakia and Switzerland, France including playing support acts for Bands such as 'No use for a Name', 'Bombshell Rocks',or 'Lawrence Arms'. 2007 A four Weeks Tour through Australia is the best example for the international 'plan' SCAB – unembellished, their songs go on a direct route to the brain. Their energy is like a generator, the melodies have depth. With their upcomming Album, released in nearly every european Country (Cargo Records) the next big step will be made! But why talk that much abouth this band? Visit their concerts and make your own opinion!
