maltatoday, SUNDAY, 17 MAY 2015 This Week 31 WHAT'S ON New video by Red Electrick this morning Red Electrick during one of their photo shoots in Ayia Napa RED Electrick's fans can see a new video of the band's hit 'Paul', fea- turing highlights of their recent trip to Cyprus on the band's YouTube channel as from today. Based on their blissful escape to Cyprus, the video was shot in various localities and charming villages, depicting scenic views in the mountains, forested heart- lands and idyllic coastal areas. Red Electrick's visit to Cyprus was sup- ported by the Cyprus Tourism Or- ganisation (CTO) and Cyprus Vil- lages – an agritourism project with many quaint residences and apart- ments – represented in Malta by Enrico Travel. "Back in Malta, on seeing the photographs and foot- age of our stay in Cyprus, we came up with the idea of crystallising some of these awesome shots into a video for our song "Paul". The lyr- ics and rhythms lend themselves perfectly to the chosen sights. We hope our fans will like it," said Pe- ter Borg, Red Electrick lead guitar- ist and producer. The video, filmed and edited by Michael Calleja from Studio Kon- nect, will be available on YouTube Channel and Red Electrick's social media channels today from 09:00. Electronic Music Malta launch event at St James Cavalier Centre for Creativity SATURDAY, May 30, will mark the launch of Electronic Music Malta (EMM), a new voluntary organisation at St James Cava- lier Centre for Creativity in Val- letta.

The launch event will fea- ture a concert/workshop dur- ing which local electronic art- ists Duo Blank, Owen Jay and Monolith will be collaborating with visual artist Toni Gialanze to give a performance that will blend electronic music with interactive graphical anima- tions.

The event, which starts at 18:00, is open to the general public and entrance is free on a first-come first-served basis since space is limited.

In a comment, Eliza Borg Rizzo, the band's main vo- calist said, "We're really looking forward to all the concerts, partic- ularly those in Europe which will give us the opportunity to share our music with new audiences," adding that the band is especially excited to see how the European crowd will react. Tribali's first show will be at the Eksi Festival in Turkey at the end of this month, with three shows booked in Hungary for the fol- lowing month, among them a headlining slot at the Everness Festival. Finally, the band will be playing another three festivals in Finland in July, namely the Espan Lava Festival, the Jyvaskyla Festi- val and the Kaustinen Folk Music Festival. Locally, the band's first live per- formance this year will be on June 6 at the Greek Theatre in Ta' Qali as part of the 2015 Earth Garden Festival. "This festival is very close to Tribali's heart as both the band and the event grew together in popularity," the band said in a comment, with frontman Peter Paul Galea adding that the band always looks forward to perform- ing new material at this year's edi- tion of Earth Garden. "Earth Garden is a family-ori- ented festival. The event itself is an experience and we strive to make Tribali's performance the climax of this experience," Galea added.
