LBM Offline: LBM End of Year Rager (30.12.2016 Hot Cat Club)

It’s been a crazy 2016 boys and girls, and while many of us are still reeling from what the this year brought us, we here at LiveBeijingMusic have decided to end out with a bang – one last rager before the New Year; one last woorah before the shitstorm starts all over again – the LBM End of Year Rager at Hot Cat Club on Friday, December 30th . And we’ve gathered quite the wild bunch – an assortment of artists, bands, and characters with very different ideas of music. First up, we’re lucky to host two out of towners – Wuhan post punk outfit Panic Worm, whose lo-fi and dangerously charming allure with surely get the kids tapping their feet. We’re also honored to welcome Dali-based noise artist USISI (Li Xuan) – a member of the ever-growing NOJIJI crew, who’ll likely give a mind melting guitar solo. On top of that we’ve tapped three new Beijing based bands who have already made some noise in the latter half of 2016 and and looking to take the New Year head on. Power pop punk outfit The Sino Hearts may be new to Beijing, but the band has been honing their sound since they formed in 2014 in Vienna under its band leader Zhong, who has played in various Austrian bands including Deecracks – with a sound heavily influenced by the early days of punk (i.e The Boys, The Blue Hearts) they’re a blast of new old school. Joining them are jangly indie rock band Backspace, who’ve been only active since late this summer, but that hasn’t stopped them from picking up some serious traction – opening for bands across China, recording with the one and only Yang Haisong, and joining underground indie collective Nerd Noise. Finally, The Dice! – if anyone was year a few years back, these boys were the real deal. After a stint down south, the band has returned to Beijing in a duo format, mining the space rock genre for all its worth and conjuring up intoxicating guitar-driven soundscapes. That’s a stacked card folks! And a hell of a way to kiss 2016 goodbye! So join us at the Hot Cat Club on Fangjia Hutong – it’s gonna be a wild one.

BAND INFO:

 

PANIC WORM (Wuhan post punk)

整个世纪之中，几乎所有的乐队都忙着做同一件事情——如何追求极致的无聊。只有驚蟲那些混乱的艺术家们用一种严谨的态度一如既往一成不变一丝不苟地制作着一种充满超现实主义的怪诞风格加上怪异的和声编写和歌词听起来让人狂笑的音乐…..

 

Panic Worm is what happens when you get five young art students wanting to make a load of noise. Directly influenced by post-punk with a lo-fi edge, some might say they\’re the offspring of the once thriving Wuhan punk scene. On stage, the singer has the swagger of Mark E. Smith, whilst the rest of the band can go from loose to tight pending on the situation. You can also expect images of classic 80\’s horror films projected in the backdrop, all this is what makes them frighteningly fun to watch live. For fans of Joy Division, Sonic Youth, JAMC, The Fall….Panic Worm don’t make music to please anybody but themselves!

USISI (Yunnan noise)

Usisi——来自nojiji阵营的浓烟滚滚迷噪吉他solo。

关于”usisi”：流动野音、潮湿的泥土和石头 青苔 露气 源源不断的是重力、往上 夜空光束 拉射 两级无尽的瞬间传导。

 

Born in 1989, Li Xuan, a Three Gorges native who now lives in Yunnan. Always move around the wild field and play music. Usisi is his personal project code name.

‘The wet soil and rocks,moss,dew,a steady flow of thing is gravity. Upslope, the night sky beam, tensile and shoot, that\’s the endless instantaneous conduction between two poles. Late night slowcore guitar in the streets noise freely in the lonesome wilderness.’

Backspace (Jangly Indie Rock)

Jangly indie rock band Backspace has only been active since late this summer, but that hasn’t stopped them from picking up some traction, opening for bands across China, recording with the one and only Yang Haisong, and joining underground indie collective, Nerd Noise — expect big things from these cats in 2017.

 

voices /guitar：郑冬冬 guitar：地瓜 drum：毛特 bass：施力轩

 

2016年7月成立于北京

 

用敏感的眼睛看到了另一双眼睛，底噪和洪流一块收缩，

 

鲜亮的影穿过雾气汇成光河。

 

我们风格各异的来到北京，筛选性的抛弃以前的观念和感受，离经叛道的选择了光怪陆离和沉默自省，发现别的可能性。

 

风格：摇滚
