Music

We couldn't be more happier to have them back, even for a short time, to share again the fun with all those who were there when Zhege magic was founded, and show this incredible band to our new friends as well!

Zhege is a band made up of foreigners who met in Beijing.

Drawing inspiration from the popular music from their respective countries, combined efforts seem to produce what appears to be Brit-Pop and R&B, with a satirical twist.

Their music is like life, sometimes funny, sometimes sad. Sometime you’ll want to dance, and sometimes you just want to have deep thoughts while waiting for a taxi on your way home... or sipping a Bloody Mary.

With three albums under their belt, and a half year hiatus Zhege is excited to showcase their music to their fans all over the world! For this special Modernista appearance they are also bringing amazing Da Wei and The Social Poets!!!

像两株自由生长的芒草，Ueno 抱着吉他，Saya 带着口风琴。他们跳跃着，奔跑着，走走停停，穿过东京狭窄的无人巷口和街头，时而交谈、时而随手敲击着铁轨的围栏、琴厢，空旷的街道，下水走廊的回音，呼啸而过的列车，拂过发梢的风……周围一切存在的声响，都是他们的音乐，而这一切又都随性、温暖、浑然天成。

这首在2007年录制的《Baibaba Bimba》让来自世界各地的乐迷们认识了他们，Saya 描述这首歌传达的是即将启程的气氛。而正是孩子呓语般的吟唱，让Saya 的歌声里透着一种随性的魔力，如同音乐本身，超越了语言的界限，直抵人心。Tenniscoats 的很多歌里有类似的随性哼唱，没有明确的含义，只有对自由的纵情表达，与音乐的相依共生。

Tenniscoats ，这支来自日本的独立音乐传奇组合，在肥脸的邀请下，将于这个夏天首次来到中国七个城市，开启一段全新而又未知的音乐旅程...

Tenniscoats (以下简称TC)是主唱 Saya 和吉他手 Ueno (植野隆司)的二人组合，来自日本的迷幻清新乐队。用“乐队”形容 Tenniscoats 可能不是十分恰当，实际上他们更像是独立艺术家，成立于1996年。由于他们的音乐风格徘徊在前卫、民谣、独立、迷幻，民谣、摇滚之间，没有固定形式，Saya 给自己的风格定义为“ Avant pops ”（先锋流行）。

1993年他们成立了东京传奇音乐厂牌 Majikicks，制作了 TC 的前身 lo-fi 独立乐队 Pukapuka Brians 为数不多的DIY唱片，并发行了众多其他艺人的独特而稀少的优秀唱片，构成了日本地下音乐图景的一个重要组成部分。

TC 成立后，喜欢即兴与 DIY 演出的他们渐渐把音乐足迹带到了东京大大小小、各式各样的场地，他们在公园、寺庙、街头、礼堂甚至邻家咖啡馆的屋顶演出，能把一切周围的声音都融入到音乐中去，“音乐可以在任何地方发生，每个人都可能被邀请加入其中。”自由而随性的独特气质逐渐吸引了来自世界各地的追随者。在音乐创作丰富多元的日本，他们的音乐以巨大的包容性与前卫性在此后的漫长的二十多年里影响着一批又一批年轻乐队。

除此之外，创作力充沛的他们也有与众多各类艺人的音乐组合计划，并保持着极高的作品产出。瑞典微声乐队 Tape 、英国独立乐队 The Pastels 、芬兰艺术家 Pastacas，德国独立乐队 the Notwist，迷幻噪音乐队 LSD-March的道下慎介，传奇音乐人大友良英，家喻户晓的音乐才子七尾旅人、先锋艺术家灰野敬二……都是他们合作过的对象。

和英国独立乐队 The Pastels

TC的音乐可塑性极强，传达出一种强烈的天赋，喜欢简洁的原声乐器的Saya和喜欢用吉他搭配效果器的 Ueno，在现场演出时总能用变幻的音色营造出充满遐想，无拘无束的音乐效果。曾与他们合作的 The Pastels 的传奇乐手 McRobbie曾描述到 “Tenniscoats 的音乐充满生机与魅力，他们的每一个音符都闪烁着光芒，Saya 的音乐所呈现的画面就像是一朵朵晴空耀阳天气里的云彩，而 Tenniscoats 就从云间飞过来了。”他们完美得与自然、与乐迷、不同的空间场地、众多优秀的独立音乐人艺术家融合在一起，并使音乐呈现出更多的可能和意向。

尽管名气越来越大，日程也排得满满当当，从不施粉黛的Saya依旧不改她对待音乐的平常心，在她的自由和从容里，流淌着音乐带来的、由内而外的自信。 Saya形容他们的音乐就像路边的野草，看似不起眼，只需要一点土壤，在任何地方都可以充满力量地向上成长。

而这样的经历，也让我们对此次Tenniscoats的中国巡演充满了期待，在Tenniscoats巡演途经之地，我们邀请了众多优秀的国内独立音乐人/乐队参与其中，并串联起国内10个不同的剧场、livehouse、唱片店、空间等有趣的音乐场景，以及散落在各地的Tenniscoats的乐迷们，共同来享受这个自由美妙的即兴夏夜。

注：在Tenniscoats巡演开始之前，国内的TC乐迷编译整理了关于厂牌Majikick的音乐访谈资料， 藉此我们可以对TC有更多的了解.：Before and Behind Tenniscoats （一）

女，湖南人。

像是匍匐在地，勾勒着自己的影子轮廓一般，她描绘着一个活生生的人。歌里平静的叙述着，灯下站着的那人的经历，像是她自己的，也像是别人的。她认为作品是独立于自己的存在，即便歌曲里气氛诡异，但某六其人却开朗得很，互相之间分裂而融洽的相处着。

Lan Tung’s music often experiments with contradictions by taking culturally specific materials outside their context. Her works embody the rhythmic intricacy from Indian influence, the sense of breath/space from Chinese tradition, and many years of experiences in interpreting contemporary Canadian compositions. Incorporating improvisation and graphic notations, Lan’s compositions and performances are released on numerous CDs, winning an International Independent Music Awards and multiple nominations by JUNO, Canadian Independent Music Awards, Canadian Folk Music Awards, and Western Canadian Music Awards.
