BAY CITY ROLLERS: DER AUFSTIEG UND FALL EINES TEENAGER-PHÄNOMENS
Teilen
Von heute auf morgen waren sie ganz oben. Zwischen Interviews, Konzerten, TV-Shows, Studioaufnahmen, Promo-Reisen, Fan-Treffen erlebten sie einen Rausch jenseits jeglicher Realität: Die Bay City Rollers waren von 1973 bis 1977 eine der erfolgreichsten Gruppen aus dem UK. Als Single-Band verpönt, als Band für Mädchen verspottet wurde oft übersehen, dass BCR musikalisch enorm etwas auf dem Kasten hatten. Wie kam es zu dem Hype? Was erlebte die Band in den USA nach ihrer Nummer eins in den Single-Charts? Was passierte, nachdem Les McKeown in seiner Heimatstadt eine Frau tot gefahren hatte? Weshalb stürzten die Rollers urplötzlich ins Bodenlose? - Diese und ähnliche beantworten wir in unserer sechsseitigen Bay-City-Rollers Story in der neuen GoodTimes Kult!, die es seit dem 22. Oktober zu kaufen gibt.
From one day to the next, they were on top. Between interviews, concerts, TV shows, studio recordings, promotional trips, fan meetings, they experienced a frenzy beyond any reality: The Bay City Rollers were one of the most successful groups from the UK from 1973 to 1977. Frowned upon as a singles band, ridiculed as a band for girls, it was often overlooked that musically BCR had something enormous up their sleeve. How did the hype come about? What did the band experience in the U.S. after their number one hit? What happened after Les McKeown drove a woman to death in his hometown? Why did the Bay City Rollers suddenly fall into the bottomless pit? - We answer these and similar questions in our six-page Bay City Rollers story in the new GoodTimes Kult! which is available to run October 22.
