    'Aerials rock night' in Simplon:
    Groningen, Odense, Tbilisi, Yerevan: local heroes come
    together


    Young rock musicians, film makers, DJ's and VJ's from
    Armenia, Georgia and Denmark come together in
    Netherlands and join a group of Dutch young
    musicians. Together they will make new music, films
    and perform at the end of their stay, 10 days later.

    This concert will take place on Friday 24 September in
    Simplon, Groningen.
    (For details see www.simplon.nl)

    >>From Georgia we will welcome in Groningen among others
    Young Georgian Lolitaz, Bakur Burduli and Madi
    Serebriakova, from Armenia The Kings' Cross,
    Alter Ego, Belka and Foreverchild. Denmark will be
    represented among others by the reggae band Scientific
    Feet. From Groningen members from Go!
    Revolution Go!, JetSetReady, Believe is a Doubt and
    Sjunya will join the project.

    Rock, pop, trip hop, grunge, folk, reggae,
    post-hardcore... all different music styles and
    cultural backgrounds will be combined and presented at
    one
    colorful and surprising evening at Simplon.

    The project in Groningen is organized by 'Groningen
    One World', 'Groverpop' and Falkor I.C.Y.

    -Groningen One World is experienced in organizing
    international cultural youth exchanges, with young
    artists from Eastern and Western Europe.
    -Groverpop is the organisation promoting and
    supporting the Groningen pop-scene. Groverpop offers
    free concerts of Groningen bands under the name 'Local
    Heroes'.
    -Falkor I.C.Y. is initiator of the Aerials project.
    Falkor offers exchange projects for young enthusiastic
    people in/with Caucasus.

    The partner organizations abroad are 'Caucasus Center
    of Contemporary Art' from Georgia, 'Ynternet.org' from
    Armenia and 'Odense Youth House' ('Ungdomshuset' )
    from Denmark.

    After this project, the intention is to organize the
    second part of the exchange project in Georgia in
    2005. All participants will then be invited to play at
    a festival in Tbilisi.

    The project is funded by the EU Youth program and the
    city authorities of Groningen.

    'Aerials' is the name of a popular song by System of a
    Down (famous Armenian/ American rock band): 'Aerials,
    in the sky, when you lose small mind, you free your
    life.'
