John Lydon liderou uma bela pública imagem dos PIL no Hard Club | Reportagem Fotográfica
John Lydon sempre irreverente | mais fotos clicar aqui
John Lydon deixou os épicos Sex Pistols em 1978 e nesse mesmo ano formou os Public Image Ltd, conhecidos também pela sua abreviatura PIL, juntamente com o guitarrista Keith Levenne (ex-Clash), o baixista Jah Wooble e o baterista David Crowe. Em 1984 Levene, Wobble e Walker abandonaram a banda. Passaram-se 45 anos desde a fundação desta espantosa banda britânica. Impulsionada desde sempre pelo vocalista John Lydon, ele o único membro que se manteve desde o prelúdio.
São já bastantes os ex-integrantes dos Public Image Ltd, apesar disso a chama mantém-se viva através de Lydon. Atualmente a formação conta também com Bruce Smith (bateria), Lu Edmonds (guitarra/banjo) e Scott Firth (teclado/sintetizadores).

A discografia da banda foi prolífera entre 1978 e 1992 com 8 edições discográficas, depois disso apenas editaram três álbuns. O último deles o 11º, ‘End Of World’, editado já no decurso deste 2023. Trata-se do sucessor de ‘What the World Needs Now’, lançado em 2015. Foram portanto 8 anos sem edições discográficas.
A razão para a atual digressão é ‘End of World’, álbum editado em agosto passado. Apesar da morte da esposa de John Lydon, ocorrida em abril deste ano, os planos do disco e dos concertos seguiram em frente.

Os Public Image Ltd são conhecidos pelo seu post-punk, são mesmo precursores desse estilo, ao qual agregam outros estilos como o punk rock, new wave, música experimental, hip-hop só para citar os mais relevantes.
A última passagem dos Public Image Ltd tinha ocorrido para uma atuação no Festival de Vilar de Mouro em 2018. Agora regressaram a Portugal para 2 concertos, marcamos presença na atuação do Hard Club no Porto ocorrida no passado dia 24 de outubro. Nesta atuação a banda tocou temas incontornáveis da sua história tais como “Rise” e “Public Enemy”. Algumas das novas fizeram igualmente parte da setlist tais como “Penge” ou “Being Stupid Again”.

A organização da vinda dos Public Image Ltd. a Portugal esteve a cargo da At The Rollercoaster, uma promotora portuense que fomenta o circuito de concertos indie em Portugal nomeadamente no Porto e Lisboa.

"THE THREE PIECE GROUP FORSAKES ALL OTHER INSTRUMENTS SAVE THREE SETS OF DRUMS..."
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on front and back sleeve art to the "Flowers of Romance" 7 inch vinyl single by English post-punk/experimental music group PUBLIC IMAGE LTD., released on the Virgin Records label in 1981. 📸: Jeannette Lee.
"..."Flowers of Romance" follows, here a briefer and stripped of the resoundingly echoed drum and stick beat out that was such a violation of percussive politeness on the 12” version, but Levene’s violin playing again evokes Two Thousand And One Arabian Nightmares with rococo, sliding into dementia swirls over Lydon’s barely audible cries for help. The three piece group forsakes all other instruments save three sets of drums over pre-recorded synthesizer and brief guitar noise relays..."

PROMOTING THE LATEST ALTERNATIVE MUSIC FOR THE ALL THE HIPPEST KIWIS.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on print ads for then recently released full-length LP's by bands PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED and HOLLY AND THE ITALIANS, from NZ musical publication "Rip It Up," c. May 1981. Plus a print advert for SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES retrospective singles compilation "Once Upon a Time/The Singles," also featured in an issue of NZ's "Rip it Up" dated May, 1982.
"Many New Zealanders will have fond memories of going into the local record store to pick up the latest "Rip It Up." The magazine was launched in June 1977 as a free monthly distributed via record shops nationwide. Rip It Up was a first in that it gave both overseas and New Zealand music equal space and importance."

PiL - End Of World Dräuende Gesänge vor einer stürmischen Soundkulisse verpassen „Penge“, dem Einsteiger in die neue PiL-Platte “End Of World”, ein maritimes Nordmann-Flair. Johnny Rotten charakterisierte die Aura des Songs als „mittelalterliches Wikingerepos“, im Verlauf der neuen Aufnahmen wird schnell klar, dass hier eine der einflussreichsten Bands der Post-Punk-Ära alles andere als gewillt ist, das Sommerloch mit Seefahrerromantik […] https://www.musikblog.de/2023/08/pil-end-of-world/ #PublicImageLtd #Album #AlternativeRock #PostPunk
