ZHEGEhttps://v.qq.com/txp/iframe/player.html?vid=f03216nttpw&width=500&height=375&auto=0Zhege is a band of foreign musicians, living in Beijing. They use a satirical style to write songs about many abstract subjects. Although their lyrical content may seem bizarre, their serious approach to composing and performing their songs makes them far from a novelty band… they are truly a spectacle worth witnessing.
Zhege’s debut music video ‘So Fashion’ (Easternisation Album) was a commentary on some wacky fashion trends observed around Beijing’s hipster hangout, Gulou, and was enjoyed by many on social media. Since releasing their first album the band have continued to develop and diversify their sound, writing music that is lyrical, catchy, and sometimes quite funny. Their live show is energetic with a lot of structured improvisation and in December 2016 their performance at Dusk Dawn Club, Beijing was streamed by over 1.6 million people on the APP Haibao.
The band is about to release ‘Moonjive’, a pop album and their second record of this year. Their music can be found on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, and in many other places online.
Hugh Reed and the Electric Shadows
Hugh Reed 现居北京,是一个长期从事音乐事业的苏格兰人。 他的 Six to Wan(621)被BBC Radio 1用作1990年代初苏格兰摇滚乐系列节目的主题曲。
Hugh 将自己描述为“无天赋”,他在九十年代最酷的电影《猜火车》中扮演为一名14岁女孩买酒的人。 最近一次他在成龙的《十二生肖》中当管家,并在CCTV出演许多小角色。
Following local TV appearances his band The Velvet Underpants’ were invited by Deborah Harry of the band ‘Blondie’ to support her on 11 dates throughout Britain in the winter of 1993. This culminated in Hugh and Debs doing a live duet of Waiting for the Man, which can be watched on youku. Deborah also faxed Lou to tell him about Hugh.
Hugh was then signed to Edinburgh’s Eclectic label. The Debut Album Take a Walk on the Clydeside was released receiving a lot of radio play not just in UK but also throughout, Europe, America and Canada.
Hugh describes himself as ‘multi talentless’ and is seen in a cameo role in the coolest film of the nineties Trainspotting - buying alcoholic drinks for a 14 year old girl he loses out to Renton, the main man, and gets his pint nicked in the process. Watch out for the dodgy-looking geyser with sideburns and a frilly shirt. More recently he appeared in the Jackie Chan movie ’12 Zodiacs’ as a butler and has also appeared on CCTV in many small acting roles.
Hugh previously toured extensively throughout the U.K., Germany, Holland, Belgium and Ireland. Hugh has relocated to Beijing, and recorded his next album ‘Ni fa feng le ma?’ The Electric Shadows has been formed with Ben Coles(UK) Darrio(Italy) Elly(Uganda) and maverick artist Benjamin Saphiro(UK), all of whom have played in bands and made music in their home countries. They have now started gigging.
Carlo
Nick Parsons 李尔杨
作为北京新生代音乐人里别具一格的一位,年仅20岁的他深受670年代经典音乐影响,在继承经典的同时不断地突破自己的风格,而且每一次转型都给人留下及其深刻的印象。
2015年12月开始一人一琴的solo项目,他这个时期的老师和模仿的对象是 Bob Dylan,Neil Young,Leonard Cohen 们,同时与多位音乐人合作交流,个人风格日益成熟。
2016年10月,单枪匹马枪匹马在69cafe“微光”系列现场中翻弹了Pink Floyd的迷幻经典专辑《黎明门前的风笛手》。此后风格日渐多元。
2017年1月的一系列演出中,他再一次完全颠覆了自己的风格,他用浑浊厚重的fuzz音色和变幻莫测的回声,在现场掀起了狂躁和诡异的浪潮。
2017年1月末,在网易云音乐发布了一张名为《一》的实验专辑,返璞归真,全篇仅一把木琴,演奏自成一派, 展现出他对声音的思考,大有独孤求败的“不滞于物,草木竹石皆可为剑”之感。
目前,其新的乐队项目也将起航。
His live show is vintage, psychedelic and concise, always thinking and searching. His music, sometimes, it's soothing and warm, sometimes sparkling and energetic.
