BIRDPARTY

 

来自新西兰的 BIRDPARTY 是极端金属音乐人 William Barrett (Heresiarch) 和环境电子舞曲制作人 Emma Bernard (Ludus) 的奇异组合。该组合运用基于采样的纹理、迷幻的人声和鼓声，为富有探险精神的听众打造出火花四射、妙趣横生的科幻原声。

BIRDPARTY的现场演出无法定义且不容错过。他们探索着氛围与喧嚣之间的领域，创造出一种宣泄性、噪音化、电影般的成品。

 

自2023年诞生以来，BIRDPARTY已经成为新西兰最令人兴奋的新兴现场演出团体之一，在 Twisted Frequency、Newtown Festival、Camp A Low Hum 和 Welcome to Nowhere 等音乐节和惠灵顿市立画廊上吸引了众多观众。

 

该乐队是 Aotearoa Artists in Solidarity with Palestine (AASP) 联盟的一员，并在去年为TAUTOKO GAZA 筹款音乐合辑贡献了创作。他们计划于2024年发布首张专辑，随后则将在新西兰和中国进行巡演。这将是他们第一次出国表演。

BIRDPARTY常驻新西兰旺格努伊，与他们的猫咪 Sweetybub 一起生活。

* 注：奥特亚罗瓦 Aotearoa，毛利原住民语中的新西兰。

 

BIRDPARTY is the unlikely merging of extreme metal musician William Barrett (Heresiarch) and ambient/electronic dance producer Emma Bernard (Ludus).

Constructed with sample-based textures, trippy vocals and drums, the duo build scintillating sci-fi soundtracks for the adventurous listener...

 

Undefinable to conventional genre, BIRDPARTY’s live show explores the realms between ambience and uproar — delivering a cathartically noisy spread of cinematic semi-industrial goods & services. BIRDPARTY are based in Whanganui, where they live with their cat Sweetybub.

 

Vera Ellen

 

Vera Ellen在简洁的歌曲创作方面是一名专家，每个音符与节拍都恰到好处。她的专辑由其清晰、自信且放松的嗓音率领，充满了引人入胜的旋律。

Vera Ellen最初在垃圾摇滚/独立乐队 Maple Syrup 和 Sweater 这样的乐队中崭露头角。搬到洛杉矶后，她组建了乐队 Girl Friday，在独立巨头 Sub Pop 的子厂牌 Hardly Art 上发行音乐。2020年初，Vera回到了新西兰，随后在当地传奇后朋克厂牌 Flying Nun 上发行了《It's Your Birthday》和《Ideal Home Noise》。

 

这两张专辑都获得了评论界的赞誉——《It's Your Birthday》为 Vera Ellen 赢得了2022年新西兰音乐奖的“最佳另类艺术家”称号，而《Ideal Home Noise》则让她和其合作者/制作人 Ben Lemi 在今年早些时候捧回了Taite音乐奖。

在新西兰时，Vera和她的乐队为Fazerdaze、Marlon Williams、Cate Le Bon、The Beths等艺人开场，并在最近与 Voom 和 Reb Fountain 一起巡演。

 

Vera Ellen乐队将于今年10月首次为中国带来她们的精彩演出。

 

Vera Ellen is an expert when it comes to concise songwriting; every note and beat is exactly the required dose. Her albums are full of hooked-to-the-brim melodies, and guided by Vera’s clear, confident, and relaxed vocal presence.

 

First emerged playing in bands Maple Syrup and Sweater. After relocating to Los Angeles, she started the band Girl Friday, whose music debuted on indie giant Sub Pop’s sub-label, Hardly Art.

 

Since returning to New Zealand, Vera Ellen has released It’s Your Birthday and Ideal Home Noise on Flying Nun Records, winning Best Alternative Artist at the Aotearoa Music Awards, as well as the Taite Music Prize.

 

Vera is generally either recording, touring, rehearsing, writing, drawing, hanging, working at a record shop in Wellington, or a combination in flight.

Kaishandao

 

Kristen. 老K. 刀刀, 刀姐, 刀哥, 新西兰牛肉腿, et al. Kaishandao 是永远活跃在成都音乐场景里的符号。不论是在成都社区电台 cdcr.live 直播间的控制室里按按钮，还是以 Kiwese奇异思的名义给奇奇怪怪的乐队做巡演，还是在舞池的左前方打卡，她感染人的能量最终汇聚成了自己独特、新鲜的声音——生于摇滚舞池，养于电子音乐。

 

Kaishandao (Mandarin for ‘machete’) is a musician and organizer from Wellington, who has been based in Chengdu for the past decade.

 

A talisman of the Chengdu music scene, Kaishandao is constantly in motion. Whether it's button-mashing at cdcr.live, touring weird bands with Kiwese, or clocking up hours front left — her infectious energy has culminated into a refreshing sound of her own—born in the moshpit, reared in the club.
