在圣诞节期间，Live Beijing Music 的最新系列在DDC于12月22日和23日亮相。这个系列名为LBM圣诞摇滚派对，看起来反对彼此的声音，创造一个可以随时点燃的音乐环境。作为提前到来的圣诞节礼物，Live Beijing Music 将呈现前两集 – 来自全北京（以及北京以外）的为期两天的乐队阵容，无论是不是熟悉的声音，都将呈现极具感染力的摇滚声音。
Line up:
Rhonda (Prog Rock, Math Rock)
Joker’s Belief (Funk, Rock)
Wasted Laika丢莱卡 (Punk, Rock)
OK绷 OK Beng (Pop Punk)
Vol. 1 pairs two of the scene’s most established expat groups alongside two of the scene’s newest much buzzed about contenders. After a summer hiatus, hard-edged instrumental rockers Rhonda are back in fighting form, bringing forth their new lineup and fierce blend of prog rock, math rock, melody and aggression, and looking better than ever. Joining them are Wasted Laika, the fresh faced scrappy ruffians who have been stirring up quite the buzz in Gulou – though they claim their sounds doesn’t fall into any category, one listen and you’ll know you’re in for some manic, in your face punk attitude – catch them before they hit it big next year. Another band with plenty of experience under their belt, Joker’s Belief have been dosing audiences with their lively fusion of funk, rock, and neo soul for years, livening up the scene and keeping spirits high. Finally, the youngest band on the lineup (as far as I can tell) – OK Beng is the charismatic spunky girl pop punk group whose adolescence shines through their lively, jittery sets – and well they’re working their way through university, we can expect to see a lot more of them in the future. Punk, funk, rock, pop – it’s a grab bag of musical delights this holiday season!
第一天：最为成熟的两支乐队与现场最新的两支乐队同台竞技。在经历了一个夏天的间歇之后，硬朗的器乐摇滚乐队 Rhonda 重新回到战斗状态，带来了他们的新阵容和前卫摇滚，数学摇滚，旋律和侵略的激烈融合，并且看起来比以前更好。和他们在一起的是丢莱卡，那些在鼓楼里闹得沸沸扬扬的流氓，尽管他们声称自己的声音不属于任何类别，但是一听，你就会知道有些狂躁，在你面对朋克的态度 – 赶在他们明年大展拳脚之前。另一支有丰富经验的乐队 Joker’s Belief 多年来一直为观众奉上他们生动活泼的放克，摇滚，新灵魂乐，他们的现场绝对不容错过。最后，这个阵容中最年轻的乐队（据我所知） – OK Beng是一个充满魅力的流行朋克乐队，他们的青春期充满了活力，紧张的气氛，而且他们还在上大学，希望在未来看到更多像他们一样的乐队。朋克，放克，摇滚，流行 – 这是这个假期季节的音乐盛宴！

Line up:
CodNew (Wuhan, Electro Rock, Post Rock)
Backspace (Indie Rock)
TOSS (Grunge)
bREAKtHEdOLL (Shanghai/?????)
Vol. 2 gets downright dangerous with an explosive cocktail of some of the scene’s most electrifying (and sometimes terrifying) acts to hit the streets of Beijing, Shanghai, and Wuhan. Where to begin: out of Wuhan electro rockers CodNew, who have over the last few years become one of the city’s busiest acts – playing everything from festivals to opening for heavyweight groups like Ratatat – whose sound finds the ‘balance between electronic samples, musical instruments and all its possibilities only to then restructure that sound of the real world. Joining them will be Backspace, the indie rock rookies of the year, who have gone above and beyond. Besides striking a album deal with independent label Maybe Mars, the bands has been expanding their riotous sound even further integrating elements of surf rock and psychedelic boogie into their arsenal. One of the best live acts of the year. While TOSS may be known to grunge fans all around China, the long-standing trio is still very much underground. Formed in Qingdao before relocating to Beijing they challenge the rules of music and society with their tense side-splitting rock and roll that’s not afraid to get down and dirty. Finally, we’re honored to host bREAKtHEdOLL aka Dee – one of the electronic and experimental scene’s most beautiful, mischievous, and unpredictable characters. A one-man sound shifter, Dee recently moved to Shanghai where he’s been an active force, organizing noise shows and creating everything from psychedelic-laced darkwave music to even more unconventional sounds. As always with bREAKtHEdOLL expect the unexpected.
第二天：在北京、上海和武汉的大街上，一些震撼人心(有时甚至是令人恐惧)的场景会让人感到非常危险。从哪里开始：在武汉电子摇滚乐队中，过去几年来，Cod New 已经成为这个城市最繁忙的乐队之一 – 从音乐节到给像 Ratatat 这样重量级的乐队开场 – 他们的声音找到了“电子样本，乐器以及所有的可能性，然后重建现实世界的声音”。加入他们将是独立摇滚新秀 Backspace, 除了与独立品牌 Maybe Mars 的专辑合作之外，乐队还将冲浪摇滚和迷幻布吉的元素进一步整合到他们的“武器库”中。今年最好的现场表演之一。虽然 TOSS可能被中国各地的摇滚乐迷所熟知，但长久以来，三重奏还是非常地下。在青岛成立前，他们搬到了北京，他们用紧张的摇摇欲坠的摇滚来挑战音乐和社会的规则。最后，我们很荣幸有 bREAKtHEdOLL（又名Dee），这是电子和实验音乐中最漂亮，最淘气，最不可预测的角色之一。 Dee最近搬到了上海，成为了一个活跃的组织者，组织了噪音表演，创造了从迷幻的黑暗音乐到更加非常规的声音。与往常一样，期待 bREAKtHEdOLL 的意外惊喜吧。

Wasted Laika丢莱卡 (Punk, Rock)
A clusterfuck of sound and aggression, while Wasted Laika, the new rock band that’s been brewing up a storm in Gulou, have a hard time describing their bombastic sound, they do most definitely fall into the deviant hard edged punk realm. Best believe the hype.
丢莱卡 (Wasted LAIKA) 乐队，冉冉升起的难听波普乐队，东欧平原知名偶像团体，拥有钢铁般的意志和似火的激情。乐队风格不确定，每首歌听起来都不太一样。还没被标签化是因为实在不够红。不是相机。
1957年圣彼得堡街头流浪狗莱卡乘坐“伴侣2号”人造卫星飞向太空，在绕地飞行第四圈时因温控系统故障死于温度过热，一年后苏联收回太空舱，莱卡与舱体一起在大气摩擦的高温中化为灰烬。
Joker’s Belief (Funk, Rock)
“Joker’s Belief were signed by Kun Records in May 2016. Their EP is set to Launch towards the end of September, as well as playing some of the China’s top Music festivals of 2016 and 2017”
Jesters and Jokers of medieval times were required to bring levity to the court and to meet the Kings requests. One Jester was required to entertain and amuse his King on demand, and if he failed, he was killed. The Jester lived – we call it “Jokers Belief”5 nationalities with 5 influences bringing you a fusion of funk, rock and Neo soul. 小丑／弄臣，是生活在中世纪宫廷中的既低下又危险的职业。一天帝王要求小丑取悦所有宾客，如果不能满足要求就将其处死。小丑活了下来，“小丑的信仰”诞生了。来自5个不同的国家，5个不同的音乐背景，带来崭新的都市•放克•摇滚•新灵魂乐风格，我们叫它“Jokers Belief”

OK绷 OK Beng (Pop Punk)
Four-piece girl pop punk band that’s slowly been making some noise on the Gulou and university circuit – the ladies of OK Beng have all the bad habits of contemporary girls: laziness, inferiority, sensitivity, love fantasy, nervousness. Drowsy all day, just want men and love.
Ok绷乐队更名为 就知道你是这样的女孩。四人编少女流行朋克乐队。由于成员均无法自赏，便只能成为一个自卑乐队，shame punk。拥有当代女孩所有的坏习惯：懒惰，自卑，敏感，爱幻想，神经质。整日昏昏欲睡，只想男人和爱情。也不想让生活成为消遣，于是愤怒对自己破口大骂：“就知道你是这样的女孩！”

Vol. 2 – Saturday, December 23rd
CodNew (Wuhan, Electro Rock, Post Rock)
吉他/主唱/合成器：大飞
贝司：小巍
鼓：潇潇
Structure of the world is cold and precise with humanity shuttling therein. Our band attempts to find a balance between the electronic samples and musical instruments to excavate the sound’s possibilities, and then restructure the sound of the real world.
世界的构造是精密冰冷的，而人性穿梭于其中。乐队试图在电子采样与真实乐器之间找到平衡点，挖掘声音的可能性，构造这个世界在声音中的模样。

Backspace (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.
Backspace 乐队2016年7月成立于北京。四位成员均来自南方的一个小城市。三年前他们更多谈论的是摇滚乐前身，现在则投身于新浪潮之中，从作品里可以听出Television, Joy Division, Franz Ferdinand, La Femme对乐队的影响，但创作中他们明白他们所想的表达内容和方式，不拘泥于固定的音乐风格。 
如同“Backspace”一词，这是一支充满数字化时代年轻人敏感气质的乐队。干燥而神经质的双吉他打底，简洁的贝斯与果敢有力的鼓混合，制造出反射现实空虚无聊之声。而充满失落感和反复质问句式的歌词则为他们拒绝进入污秽的成人世界的表态，让人联想起美国垮掉一代，充满随意性和挑衅性。
自成立起，乐队就迅速在北京各地下现场音乐场景中活跃起来。同年，由杨海崧主持，加入独立集体Nerd Noise，并参与Nerd Noise青年噪音计划首张合辑。这些小伙子并非激进，对于乐队的发展，他们说，“认真，然后顺其自然。”

TOSS (Grunge)
The grunge rock trio that formed in Qingdao before relocating to Beijing – TOSS challenges the rules of music and society with their explosive genre-bending rock and roll, which can be confusing and melancholy but always pushes the limits of the genre – aka they’re not afraid to get down and dirty.
这是令人厌倦也欣喜的时代，充斥着美好的灵魂和露骨低俗的规则。我们反对一切令我们不安的，也承受着所有郁郁寡欢的结果。而令人兴奋的也在于此，当人抛弃了时代给他的枷锁，因为爱去拥抱朋友，为了自己去毁灭自己。这本来就是一条不归之路，谈何理想。
世界的尽头在想像当中已经是破碎的，我们只拥有一个永远不完整而未知的遭遇史。在途中乐此不疲地发出声音，歌颂与批判我们所见到的。娱乐至上的人和以爱至上的神统统属于这个在黑暗中显现光明的宇宙，忽明忽暗。
