Upcoming: Spring Fever Redux – LST, Sourtower, Bye Bye Fish, UNIT (DDC 2019.3.09)

Live Beijing Music breaks in the Year of the Pig with a potbellied feast for the ears – a succulent offering of this year’s newest and most alluring sounds that cross all genres. Cold wave, psychedelic folk, noise punk, electronic, and then some – it’s gonna be a hell of a night.

Li Nan, known to most as the co-founder and drummer for indie rock band Da Bang, breaks free with  of his sizzling solo electronic project LST – a simmering atmospheric journey chock full of ‘multiple layers, playful rhythms, deep bass lines and deeper bass textures, sharp arrangements with a lot of contrasts and curves, and many acid moments that capture the listener, and change the vibe in your space and refresh it’. The artist released his debut last year on Modern Sky to much applause and has been getting his feet wet on stage recently.

Bye Bye Fish, the avant-garde folk project formed by the leading duo behind the beloved punk outfit SUBS are back with a vengeance! After years in hibernation,  the y return looking to bewitch audiences with their hypnotic, enchanting, and sometimes malevolence songs that feel like they’ve emerged from a dark fairy tale – or better yet, deep space where their souls will burn for eternity.

Made up of three hip female illustrators Sourtower is as cool as they come – a sultry, feverish nightmare pop band that teeters on the edge of madness with its cold wave facade, psychedelic soundscapes, and post punk attitude. It’s groovy, heavy, and unsettling in the best possible way.

Last but not least, UNIT comes charging full steam ahead with their riotous combustible noise punk. The band made up of three veteran musicians of the scene – Richard (Low Bow), Shirtless Mike (Mammals, Social Boar, Incisors), Dan (Luv Plastic, Death Narcissist) – focuses on short, sharp, pop delights based around misspelled phrases and bad puns’.

LST (electronic)

LST is the solo project of Li Sitong (Li Nan), also known as co-founder and drummer of Da BangLST has loved electronic music since he was in college, and since 2015 he has been exploring and developing his own sounds, he started to produced the first sketches of what has become now his first released. The production of Ex Ternal began in September of 2017 and it was finally ready to be released on March of last year by ModernSky label.

Ex Ternal contains five tracks each with multiple layers, playful rhythms, deep bass lines and deeper bass textures, sharp arrangements with a lot of contrasts and curves, and many acid moments that capture the listener, and change the vibe in your space and refresh it. LST said he is not completely satisfied with the result, however the listening of the EP is fun, it opens spaces to explore, acid cool spaces. I dig a lot the style, it’s already possible to feel LST own sound though we’ll see how LST evolves in his future releases and then we’ll know more of his music, for now Ex Ternal is a great beginning and a fun EP to listen to.

LSTDA BANG乐队的鼓手和创始成员之一李楠的个人电子乐项目。LST大学时就喜欢电子音乐。自2015年以来,他一直在探索和发展自己的音乐,那时他开始创作最早的作品,这些初稿后来成为了他第一次发行的歌曲。Ex Ternal的制作始于20179月,今年3ModernSky唱片公司准备好发行这张专辑。

Ex Ternal包含5个轨道,每个轨道有多个层,有幽默的节奏,深沉的低音线和更深的低音纹理,有很多对比和曲线的尖锐的排列,还有许多酸爽时刻将抓住你的听觉,改变你的空间的氛围并让它焕然一新。LST说他对这个结果并不完全满意,虽然如此,聆听这张EP依然是件有趣的事情,它打开了探索的空间,迷幻的空间。他挖掘了多种风格,似乎已经感受到自己的风格了。尽管我们将会看到他在未来的版本中是如何演变的。然后我们会了解更多他的音乐,因为现在Ex Ternal是一个很好的开始和一个有趣的倾听。

UNIT 单位乐队 (noise punk, experimental rock)

UNIT is a noise punk, experimental rock duo from the U.S.A. and Ireland. Mike (drum) & Richard (guitar & vocals) met at the end of 2018 and after a few jam sessions at a popular An Ding Men rehearsal rooms, decided to form what they describe as, ‘a semi-instrumental, power combo that focuses on short, sharp, pop delights based around misspelled phrases and bad puns’. The idea behind being somewhat, ‘instrumental’ came from the simple fact that as the tunes became faster and more complex, it became more of a challenge to Richard to actually sing and play at the same time. So, rather than deal with the pressure and put the work in, we decided to drop a lot of the singing.

In early 2019, UNIT plans to record their first e.p. and get busy with their first group of outside Beijing shows. Dan Lenk (of Luv Plastic, Death Narcissist) joined the team as well. With an emphasis on keeping things loose, spontaneous and fun, UNIT hopes that each show brings something new to the audience and themselves. Failing that, if you see them live at the very least you can say, ‘well, that was 25 mins’.

UNIT 是一支分别来自美国和爱尔兰常驻北京的后摇,实验朋克二人组合,成立于201810月。成员 Richard Mike 分别担任吉他,噪音效果器和架子鼓。之所以乐队名字叫“UNIT”是因为这个词第一次听就感觉像是一个庞大的跨国企业,所以我们就用它了。我们的乐队即便仅有架子鼓和一把吉他,我们也能够演奏出一个很厚实的实验,硬摇滚,现代朋克氛围。刚开始没有刻意寻找一个明确的风格,更没有考虑该不该限制自己乐队成员为两个人。

经过了几次排练之后却发现其实架子鼓和吉他(再加上几块很普通的效果器)就够了。我们的歌曲都比较短,但都具有一定的冲击力。有几首也没有主唱,并不是因为不想唱歌,而是我们听完了我们排练的录音之后觉得其实这样的风格还蛮不错!有点像是一支后摇乐队,不过我们的歌的时长平均为2分钟。

不唱歌的话意味着可以专注我们的乐器,可以挑战自己尝试不同风格,在同一首歌里采用不同节奏。总之,不唱歌反而让我们的音乐边的更加有趣而且相对,也降低上台前的那种忐忑不安!
