Flashback: Residence A‭ (D-22 2010)

One of my fondest memories of Beijing and one that pushed me into documenting the music scene was witnessing Residence Aone late Christmas Eve in 2010 at D-22. Watching wide-eyed lead singer and guitarist Zhao Zhao revel in his bandmates’ raucous, earnest, and manic tunes was akin to being led into a rock and roll carnival, and the crowd soon followed suit. They closed out their set with “Song Chun/Farewell Spring,” a song that has been engrained in my Beijing psyche ever since.

他们是我在北京最美好的回忆之一,也是促使我不断记录音乐现场的原因之一。时光闪回到2010年的那个圣诞之夜,那晚在D-22我见识了A公馆。望着台上激情热烈的主唱兼吉他手昭昭正沉醉于乐队伙伴们带来的刺耳、真诚、狂热的曲调中,好像被带进了摇滚的狂欢之中,很快台下的人群也随之躁动兴奋起来。他们以《送春》结束了当晚的演出,这首歌从那以后就一直萦绕在我的心头,成为我生命里北京之魂的一部分。

 

It didn’t take long for Residence A, filledout by Xiao Bing on guitar, Chen Shao on bass, and Zhao Ning on drums (who joined the lineup four years back), to become one of the indie rock scene’s most reliable and consistently engaging acts, releasing their debut in 2012, followed by quickly by the 2013’s triumphant EP The Love of This Era.

没过多久,由主唱昭昭、吉他手小兵、贝司手陈少和鼓手赵宁(四年前加入阵容)组成的A公馆乐队的音乐现场就蹿红成为国内独立摇滚乐坛最可期、最有质感和最具吸引力的表演之一。2012年发布首张专辑,紧接着2013年发布EP《这个时代的爱》,由此一举成名。

 

Beloved for their catchy, melodic and often life-affirming anthems, they’ve steadily grown a wider and deeper fanbase, even finding some success of the CCTV’s Sing My Song in 2015. The band celebrated ten years on the scene last December with the release of their long-anticipated sophomore release All Things Have Light out now.

他们因其朗朗上口、旋律优美、常为人津津乐道的歌曲而深受喜爱,拥有一大批忠实的拥趸。

甚至在2015年中央电视台的《中国好歌曲》节目中收获了好评。2019年时值乐队成立十周年,12月举办了庆祝十周年专场演出,令人期待已久的第二张专辑《万物有光》也同期发布。
