Emergenza:
“After 3 days of pure party madness with rain, sun, booze, hip hop and rock and roll, the jury have given the final result..........the winner is (drum roll please) ENVY!!!!!. all the way from gorgeous Norway this hip hop project convinced everybody. They walked away with the top price and were crowned world champions. Saying world champions sounds big and it is, considering bands from 24 countries from all over the planet took part in what has been the most fun we had in years especially because the quality this year has been amazing….could it get any better? I don’t think so! When announced, these 11 piece “family” punched the air and I swear they were ready to cry. We think we saw them float on air at one point”
“ENVY walked away with the top price and were crowned world champions. Saturday’s performance was absolutely stellar considering that with a week-end of clouds and constant morning rain, they had the sun shining while playing yesterday afternoon. They gave us smiles and made us dance……Thank you Norway!
Ok, we wanted to let you know that ALL the bands were absolutely magic!!!!! and that as always, it is incredibly hard for the jury to select just one band. Still shocked from the announcement, all 11 of the members of ENVY were rushed to the main stage, which is almost as big as a football field for a gig so good, they kicked the Taubertal Festival punters in the face with their cultured, infectious hip hop grooves .........Like we say this every year: If Andy Warhol said everybody has 15 minutes of fame he was wrong in this case, they had 3 days! And this is only the beginning…… they opened for British punk rock gods THE SUBWAYS who themselves were dancing backstage.
They made literally thousands of people go nuts. When the giant screen flashed 50 foot tall Norwegians (considering they are already tall) we knew that this was the right band. Mission accomplished. Just perfect.”For the full article go here--> Emergenza Festival : "and the winner goes to..."
