Ultravox in Offenbach

Gestern waren wir mal bei Ultravox im Capitol in Offenbach. Wie schon der letztjährige Gig in Duisburg ein klasse Konzert. Gespielt wurden nur die alten Hits von den Alben Vienna, Rage In Eden, Quartet und Lament. Hoffnung besteht das sie mal wieder auf Tour kommen.

Evolution Has Left The Building ..... Thank God !!

Kim Wilde helps campaign to get 'Vienna' to no. 1

April 5, 2010 - During her weekly radio show 'Secret Songs' on Magic FM, Kim has helped the campaign to get Ultravox's 'Vienna' to number 1 in the UK singles chart.

The song was requested by Chris Bird in the March 28 edition of 'Secret Songs', adding information that Ultravox fans are trying to right the wrongs of history. Back in 1981, 'Vienna' was kept from the top spot in the UK singles chart by 'Shaddap your face' by Joe Dolce. Downloading the track between April 4 and April 10 from the links listed below will help get the track to number 1, 30 years later.

A similar campaign helped decide last year's Christmas number 1 in the UK. Thanks to many downloaders, Rage against the machine won the position that would otherwise have been claimed by X Factor winner Joe McElderry.

If you want to help get 'Vienna' to number one, you can read more information here or simply go to one of these retailers and download the track directly (UK residents only).


•Amazon.co.uk - 89p
•Play - 70p
•iTunes - 99p (track 3, Single Version)
•HMV - 99p (track 3, Single Version)

If you want to buy multiple copies, please make sure you buy just one from each of the different sources, to prevent Vienna from being excluded from the chart.

'Secret Songs', March 28, 2010

Suche Bolt On Hemi Scoop für meinen Dart

So wie auf dem Bild, 4" oder 5" hoch, nur Bolt on, gebraucht oder neu ist egal, nach Möglichkeit unbeschädigt.

Weight is the enemy ...

... Gewicht ist der Feind also muss alles gehen was nicht unbedingt nötig ist. Haubenfedern, braucht kein Mensch. Da die Haube ja irgendwann auch mal leicht werden soll und die originalen Haubenfedern somit sowieso nicht mehr passen würden habe ich diese kurzerhand entfernt und werde sie durch einen Stab ersetzen.

Make VIENNA No. 1 in 2010 .....

A 2010 FaceBook campaign to see Ultravox finally get a UK no.1 with 'Vienna' is gaining momentum, almost thirty years on from the time that it was held off the top spot by both John Lennon and Joe Dolce.

Interestingly, its founder Martin Slade isn't an Ultravox fan; he became interested in how the two songs seemed to be forever remembered together and felt that there might be a chance to remedy this.

Martin started the FaceBook group in June 2009 and originally planned to aim the campaign for 2011, 30 years since the single was released - but following Rage Against the Machine's successful campaign in December 2009, thought it best to surf that momentum and move it up to 2010.

The FaceBook group urges fans to purchase and download the Vienna single from any legal UK-based source such as Amazon, iTunes, Play, HMV etc.

CAMPAIGN T-SHIRTS NOW AVAILABLE (DATE CHANGED).
Ultravox Vienna Campaign T-shirts, bumper stickers, badges, postcards, mugs etc now available. There are TWO types of campaign shirt - 'normal' one and 'Joe means nothing to me, oh VIENNA!'. Well, they started it with 'Whatsa matter Ure'... ;o) £1 per Vienna campaign shirt sold will go to the Disaster Emergency Committe (DEC) Haiti disaster fund. Zazzle is UK based company with typically a 24 hour order turnaround.

FROM MARTIN SLADE:

In 1981 - almost thirty years ago - seminal synth-rock band Ultravox released the single 'Vienna' to rave reviews for its epic sound, moody strings and those amazing two words of Midge Ure's "Oh, Vienna!".

Vienna's release was on a collision course with another single that would result in there being only one winner in the war to reach the number one spot in the UK charts. That single was 'Shaddap You Face' by comedian/actor Joe Dolce.

As history shows, the novelty single won and one of the greatest songs of the whole decade - if not one of the greatest songs ever - failed to reach the top.

I have nothing against Mr Dolce apart from 'Shaddap' in fact I always thought it was a memorable, fun song, worthy of the upper echelons of the charts. I just wish it had been released a few months earlier or later!

Nowadays of course, we as members of the public have so much power over what enters the charts. No longer are we bound by what the record companies release on single to govern what we buy; We have the glorious download, meaning that we have the power to control the charts ourselves.

So, this is what I propose:
During the beginning of April 2010 we tell as many people as we can to download Vienna from iTunes, Amazon, HMV, Play, wherever you can as long as it is a British-based download site (and it's legal of course). Downloading commences Sun 4th April 2010 until Sat 10th April 2010.

We need to get as many people as possible involved - especially those in a position to influence others. Lobby your local DJ, lobby Ken Bruce, lobby Chris Moyles, lobby Chris Evans, lobby Dr Fox, lobby EVERYBODY you can think of who can help to publicise this event.

And let's all get VIENNA to its rightful place so that history can show that this amazing record and video did in fact reach the very top of the UK singles charts, albeit almost thirty years after its first release.

Watch out for more on ULTRAVOX.ORG.UK and join the campaign.
