  performance art - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about performance art   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The term happening is sometimes used synonymously with performance art, but happenings are often more informal and improvised than performance art, which is usually carefully planned.
It was not until the 1960s that performance art was recognized as a distinctive branch of art, and the term was first used in about 1970.
Performance art has taken many different forms, ranging from the whimsically comical to the disturbingly violent, as in the work of a group called the Vienna Actionists, members of which were arrested on several occasions for their performances involving nude participants, blood, and excrement.

 Performance and cocktails
Now, with the hype all over, the real contenders are staking their place for greatness beyond the fashion and media fanfare.
In all honesty, there was only one serious contender, and it speaks volumes that the one act to actually emerge with a major deal (with Polydor) from that scene was Performance.
Championed to death on this website from the very beginning, Performance may have taken the foundations of the electroclash movement, but they ensured their future by actually writing SONGS to go with it.

Performance And Cocktails is the Stereophonics second album.

 Performance and Cocktails - Compare prices
There are three themes to Performance And Cocktails: slow, a bit faster and "hey, let's make a noise for a bit".
The former, as heard on "Hurry Up And Wait", start off by making you feel like curling up into a little ball and wallowing, but too much repetition could get wearing, which is why the mid-tempo tunes fill the gaps in the middle with the prettier tunes, like "Just Looking".
Performance And Cocktails covers all bases so thoroughly that it's not surprising it catapulted the Stereophonics into the mainstream.

 BBC - Wales - Performance And Cocktails
It's something of a cliché for rock bands to follow up their first commercially successful album with a protracted moan about how hard it is to live life on the road.
Three singles from the record effortlessly crashed into the top five, proving that the band had a rare ear for a radio-friendly hook, and the scope of the new songs demonstrated that there was life to Kelly Jones' lyrics outside of Cwmaman, even if it didn't sound especially pleasant.
Plucked from the homely cradle of Cwmaman, Performance And Cocktails arguably lacks some of the soul of its predecessor - take the cold lyrical sentiments of Plastic California, which lack any real insight or artfulness: "Plastic California, looks like Blackpool, outta date".

 allmusic ((( Performance and Cocktails > Overview )))
In December 1998, the Stereophonics released the single "The Bartender and the Thief," which became an unexpected explosion on the charts, peaking at number three in the U.K. In March 1999, the band's sophomore effort, Performance and Cocktails, was released to impressive sales -- it was reportedly outselling Blur's 13 when that album was released.
There are more ballads than before, and some of the rockers don't burn with the intensity that they did on the last album.
This doesn't make Performance and Cocktails a bad album, though; fans will be very pleased that the Stereophonics have released another slab of indie-flavored hard rock.

 CMJ.com: new music first
In early 1999, when Performance And Cocktails was released to an adoring U.K. press, the Stereophonics were on the verge of becoming the next post-Oasis pop phenomenon.
On the surface, the Welsh power trio is unspectacular -- you'd have a tough time fingering the band in a Brit-pop lineup -- yet its unassuming stance doesn't diminish the graceful charm and aching soul of its songs.
The heart-on-sleeve sentiments of "Half The Lies You Tell Ain't True" and the wistful "Just Looking" are dressed -- like most songs on this album -- in consistently memorable pop-rock fabrics, spun from the finest silks, by hook-sharp needles.

I listen to this, and I feel so disappointed with al the other stereophonics that i've heard - and before i heard this album i loved performance and cocktails and word gets around.
This is quite simply brilliant, with a wonderful blend of styles and speeds that keeps the listener interested from the very beginning to the nostalgia evoking end of "i stopped to fill my car up".

The Canal Room in New York City, formerly Shine Performance and Cocktails, specializes in high-profile music industry events and record release parties.
With a constant flow of industry VIPs, artists and critics in attendance, club owners knew that a world-class sound system that could showcase the music with exceptional audio quality, while handling the grueling seven-nights-per-week workload, was imperative.
Finally, the Live Performance mode only activates the loudspeakers at the front of the stage, which are arranged as two stacks of four KF730s each hung at 12 feet on the left and right of the stage.

 TWAS 217: 3 Colours Red, Stereophonics, Kleenex Girl Wonder
For the time being, though, Stereophonics seem to me to have both a clearer understanding of their own vulnerabilities and a larger remaining supply of good songs.
Performance and Cocktails tries to soar a little higher than Word Gets Around, but it is circling, I think, over the same terrain.
Kelly Jones' relentlessly cathartic wail remains their music's emotional center, frantic enough at its quietest ebb to truncate Rod Stewart's effort to rouse Maggie to a quick throat-clearing, and his lyrics probe the hidden corners of small towns and bruised souls like he thinks (and maybe he's right) that he lost something there.

 PERFORMANCE & PRO TOOLS
The freshness of their approach is partly attributable to the unusual manner in which they side-stepped the traditional studio apprenticeship.
It helped that the band were perhaps a little worried about ending up in a studio with someone they'd never met and who they wouldn't be comfortable performing in front of, so they were happy to keep going with us, knowing that we had the skills.
Marshall: "The song 'Pick A Part That's New', for example, was conceived from the beginning as technologically manipulated — a loop was built around the drums in Pro Tools, the rest of the band then did their thing and we built some noises and other funky stuff to go along with it.
