Beschreibung
To many, Fri-Son is one of the best and most innovative Swiss music venues. The club was born in remote and traditionally conservative Fribourg in 1983, solely as a result of the energy of a few music enthusiasts. Originally a pocket-sized and notoriously shabby boutique for avant-garde punk and jazz music, it has quickly grown into a large, internationally-renowned and well respected venue for any brand of innovative music, from rock, electronic, metal through hip-hop. Over the years it has hosted groundbreaking, upcoming or established artists such as The Gun Club, Nirvana, Nico, The Beastie Boys, Cat Power, Phoenix, and Grizzly Bear. * * This book gives an overview over the dazzling and mesmerizing creative output from the first 30 years in the life of Fri-Son. The essence of three decades of musical history and evolution of independent music as reflected in Fri-Son’s gigantic archive is assembled in a well-researched essay written by Matthieu Chavaz and Daniel Prélaz (et al.). Numerous testimonies from insiders and artists, a large portfolio of original photographs and many posters, offer the reader a lively, faithful, and intimate immersion into some of the seminal club’s most startling nights.
