| dbo:abstract | The Servant (englisch der Diener) war eine britische Rockband. (de) The Servant est un groupe de rock britannique, originaire de Londres, en Angleterre. Formé en 1998, et après avoir sorti deux albums studio qui ont connu un certain succès notamment en France et en Italie, le groupe s'est séparé en 2007. (fr) Servant was a Christian rock group that grew out of the counter-culture Jesus Movement of the sixties and seventies. The band was founded in Victoria, British Columbia in 1976 by Jim Palosaari and performed to audiences throughout North America, Europe and Australia for over 12 years. Originally named "Higher Ground", the group later changed their name to Servant. The lyrics of their songs were known for challenging the Christian Church to turn back to social justice and caring for the poor. A Servant rock concert was like a festival event. The band was known to incorporate comedy and short skits in their sets on stage. Servant was also the first Christian rock group to use laser lights, flame tubes, fireworks, fog machines, in addition to an extensive light show and quadraphonic sound (a precursor to surround-sound). In the early 1980s some critics considered Servant's theatrics, light shows, smoke-bombs and flash-pot stage performances too raucous to be authentically Christian. However, the band's mission was to reach the ears and hearts of those who might not feel so comfortable in church buildings. Shying away from the praise lyrics and easy-listening rock styles that typified most contemporary Christian music at the time, Servant instead attempted to offer edgy, rhythmic, passionate rock and an aggressive stage performance filled with an evangelistic Christian message, and spiced with strong social commentaries. A CCM Magazine review of their 1981 release, Rockin' Revival, stated that the band's lyrics reflected Christian communal subculture, and contained elements of social protest and criticism. Servant toured extensively throughout America, Europe and Australia in concert halls and at music festivals like Creation and Greenbelt. They recorded 6 studio albums with songs that ranked in the Top 40 Contemporary Christian Music Charts including "Come Jesus Come", "Holding on to You", "Thank God", "We are the Light", "Surrender", "Harder to Finish", and "I Will". From 1981 to 1985, opening acts for Servant included Grammy Award-winning Petra, DeGarmo & Key, Joe English (of Paul McCartney & Wings fame), Will McFarlane (recorded with Jackson Browne), Randy Matthews, Jerusalem, and Steve Camp. Petra opened for Servant on tour in late 1981 and early 1982 just as Petra's breakthrough album, Never Say Die was being released. The band reunited to perform a one-off concert at Cornerstone Festival in July 2011. In November 2013, Servant was awarded with the Lifetime Achievement Award from GMA Canada during ceremonies held during the 35th Annual Covenant Awards. On hand to receive the award were band members: Sandie Brock, Owen Brock, Bob Hardy, Rob Martens, Matt Spransy and Eric Odell. (en) The Servant sono stati un gruppo britannico di rock alternativo costituitosi nel 1998. Il front man era il cantante Dan Black, noto per aver collaborato anche con i Planet Funk. Gli altri componenti della band erano il bassista , il batterista e il chitarrista . La band si chiama così in omaggio all'omonimo film di Joseph Losey del 1963. La canzone Cells è stata usata come colonna sonora (in versione strumentale) nel film Sin City, mentre la canzone Orchestra è giunta in finale al Festivalbar 2004 e l'album da cui è tratta, The Servant, si è trovato in cima alle classifiche europee per settimane. Nati per caso, hanno avuto un grande successo mondiale. Si sono sciolti nel 2007 e Dan Black ha iniziato una carriera solista. (it) The Servant была английской альтернативной группой, сформированной в Лондоне в 1998. Они популярны в Великобритании, Франции, Италии, других европейских странах и в западной Канаде. Первым знакомством американских слушателей с их творчествоми была инструментальная версия песни , использованная в трейлерах для фильма Город Грехов (Sin City). Инструментальная версия Cells не входит в число саундтреков этого фильма, но она может быть загружена через их веб-сайт. Cells также использовались в фильме Перевозчик 2 (The Transporter 2), наряду с их песней Body.Начиная с трейлеров Sin City группа приобретает существенный успех в США — от них требуют новых записей и концертов. Группа выпустила их четвертый альбом — в 2006. Перед достижением коммерческого успеха в 2004 с одноимённым альбомом, выпущенный в Великобритании и во Франции, The Servant выпускал также два мини-альбома: в 1999 и в 2000. 26 ноября 2007 группа объявила на своём блоге на MySpace, что они распались, «чтобы идти дальше к новым высотам». (ru) 'The Servant' ou simplesmente 'Servant' foi uma banda canadense de Rock cristão atuante anos 70 e 80. A banda foi fundada em 1976 pelo evangelista Jim Palosaari em Victoria (Colúmbia Britânica) e realizava shows em toda a América do Norte, Europa e Austrália. Originalmente chamada "Higher Ground", o grupo rapidamente mudou seu nome para "The Servant". Eles eram conhecidos por impulsionar a igreja cristã de se arrepender e voltar para a justiça social e cuidar dos pobres. Os Shows do The Servant era como uma grande festa no evento. A banda era conhecida por incorporar comédia no palco. The Servant foi também o primeiro grupo de rock cristão a usar luzes laser, tubos de chamas, fogos de artifício e máquinas de nevoeiro. No início de 1980, alguns críticos consideraram a performance da banda muito estridente para os padrões cristãos. No entanto, a missão de Servant era justamente alcançar o público que não se sentia tão confortável em prédios de igrejas. Se afastando das letras de louvor congregacional de fácil audição e apostando no rock, a banda abordou letras que refletiam a subcultura cristã comum, apresentando elementos de protesto social e crítica em suas músicas. Em julho de 2011, após mais de 23 anos após o fim da banda, o grupo se reuniu para realizar um concerto único no Cornerstone Festival. (pt) |
