La Monsters Day ii avem astazi invitati pe Dire Straits! Grupul a luat
nastere in 1977 la initiativa fratilor Mark si David Knopfler. Stilul a
fost unul greu de catalogat, cuprinzand influente rock, jazz, folk, blues
rock n roll si chiar beat. Desi in anii 70-80 curentul punk era la mare
cautare in Anglia, Dire Straits a decis ca este mai bine sa inoate
impotriva curentului. Si se pare ca bine a facut, pentru ca astazi se pot
lauda cu 120 de milioane de unitati vandute, cinci albume de studio, mai
multe premii Grammy, Juno, PRS, Brit Award, MTV Video Music Awards, peste
100 de discuri de platina, doua de diamant, mii de concerte in toata lumea,
plus o intrare in cartea recordurilor pentru albumul Brothers In Arms,
primul CD ce s-a vandut in peste un milion de unitati. Incepand cu ora 10,
la Rock FM, vom analiza fiecare pas facut de celebra formatie.
