Barry Lyndon @ Meet Factory / 19:00 Coming after Kubrick's esteemed hits 2001 (1968) and A Clockwork Orange (1971), Barry Lyndon opened with high expectations and met with decidedly mixed responses to its restrained tone. Even with Oscar nominations for Best Picture and Best Director (and wins for Cinematography, Art Direction, Costumes, and Adapted Score), Barry Lyndon was a box office failure. Since then, Barry Lyndon has gained in stature, taking its place among the formidable artistic achievements.
Provokator.org, an Instigator Media Group production, invites you to a silent demonstration to spread the word that free radio is being gagged. On August 30, Radio Wave 100.7 FM, Prague’s only non-profit, youth-oriented radio station, is being forcibly taken off the air and made digital. Commercial lobbyists have pitched a campaign insisting that Radio Wave be shut down, regardless of the station’s legal right to broadcast. As a popular non-profit station, Radio Wave is the country’s only refuge from commercial mainstream radio. Removing it from the analogue airwaves is only the first step toward the commercial dictatorship of Prague radio. Lend your support to alternative music and unrestricted cultural diversity, Thursday, August 21st, at numerous locations across Prague. Bring your radio tuned to 100.7 FM !!!

Many large metal festivals across Europe had similar line-ups this year, with organisers flocking to book reunion gigs from At The Gates and Carcass. Brutal Assault, despite being a smaller festival, drew in the same big name bands such as Carcass, Cradle of Filth, Paradise Lost and Arch Enemy, whilst still supporting the local metal scene by providing slots for the likes of Ador Dorath and Malignant Tumour.
The legendary U.S. music label Sub Pop Records, responsible for bringing us such bands as Green River, Nirvana, Mudhoney, Soundgarden, Tad, Codeine, Afghan Whigs and dozens of others, has caused one exceptional "great Seattle rock revolution" and identified the development of world rock to today, now celebrating 20 years of music! For the historic date of the August 21st, Prague Palac Akropolis brings you the biggest musical events in Czech Republic this summer, and what is sure to be one of the domestic concerts of the year. Otherwise, The Gutter Twins, one of the key Representatives of Sub Pop, would not even call!
