Hanggai was formed in 2004,they has travelled to over 40 countries and 6 continents around the world and played for audiences large and small in over 200 performances. Hanggai is the most recognized Chinese band on the international circuit today.


The internationally popular band Hanggai taps deeply into the roots of Mongolian folk music while blending it with contemporary styles of rock to produce a wholly original, otherworldly sound. Founded by a Beijing-based rocker Ilchi, the band draws its other six members from Mongolia and China. Together, they perform on a variety of traditional instruments—from the tobshuur (a two-stringed banjo) to morin khuur (“horse’s fiddle,” a symbol of Inner Mongolia)—alongside Western drum sets and electric guitars. All of the lyrics are sung in Mongolian, many using the distinctive vocal technique of two-tone throat singing. Layered with electric guitars riffs, programmed beats, and even banjos, these ancient songs and sounds become an exuberant concert performance unlike any other.

乐队 Bands:
Deniz Tek - Radio birdman (Punk)
Round Eye (Exp-Punk)


The Sino Hearts (Punk)
Holy Shit (Rock)


Deniz Tek is an American singer, guitarist and songwriter and a founding member of Australian rock group RADIO BIRDMAN. He has played in many of the underground rock bands of the 1970s including Australian bands The Visitors, and New Race but is most known for exerting his burning Detroit style guitar influence over the punk rock genre in Australia.


Deniz Tek formed Radio Birdman with longtime friends Rob Younger, Chris Masuak, Warwick Gilbert, Pip Hoyle and Ron Keeley. They called themselves this after mishearing a lyric by the rock band The Stooges. Radio Birdman were arguably the most successful band that Deniz Tek was associated with, despite the band's initial shunning from the Australian music scene. The Radio Birdman sound was unconventional and raw and echoes the Motor City influences of Tek's youth.


Birdman are often attributed with the initiation of the Australian indie rock scene, as after being repeatedly rejected from various clubs and bars in the Sydney area, Birdman took it upon themselves to record and release their first recording Burn My Eye, and distribute it out the back of the band members' cars.
Radio Birdman began a world tour in 1977 travelling to England and playing a few shows around London as well as recording their second album Living Eyes, until in 1978 the band broke up mid-tour due to "personality conflict".


This summer, Deniz Tek will perform for the first time in his 40+ year career in mainland China. His group for this tour is comprised of Keith Streng, the guitarist for New York’s punk legends The Fleshtones and famed professional skaters the Godoy Brothers on bass and drums. The tour was organized by Shanghai’s adopted punk sons Round Eye who will also play in support. You don’t want to miss this rare night of punk history.



Round Eye (Exp-Punk)


Round Eye, the experimental freak punk outfit have accrued quite a loud and controversial name for themselves since forming in 2012. The Shanghai based group have shown no mercy nor fatigue in sound development or work ethic and have as of late been a crucial force in bridging a wide gap between the eastern and western hemispheres of punk rock. Along with blazing a gnarly trail all over the globe (Europe, China, USA, Mexico, S. Korea, Japan) they’ve toured the mainland of China a number of times and have played host to visiting western groups and some legends as well.


They’ve shared stages with western groups such as The Dickies, Mike Watt, The Fleshtones, M.D.C., D.O.A., The FUs, Paul Collins Beat, M.O.T.O., Ceremony, and Iceage, eastern groups such as P.K.14, SMZB, SUBS, Hang on the Box, and Misandao.



The Sino Hearts (Punk)


THE SINO HEARTS乐队2014年成立于奥地利维也纳,由前奥地利77朋克乐队FRANKENSTYLE 和 雷蒙斯乐队DEECRACKS前成员钟无力组建并担当创作以及主唱。由于音乐上深受RAMONES, THE REAL KIDS, THE BOYS, BUZZCOCKS, FLAMIN’GROOVIE等结合了七十年代英式朋克以及六十年代利物浦BEAT, Power Pop, 九十年代日式车库复兴等诸多元素令乐队与其他复古流行乐队区别开来。2016年钟无力回国发展后对乐队人员进行了调整,担当过波特兰 The Cry 以及车库朋克 Piss Test, 加拿大 The Mandates, Mother's Children 以及 The Mandates, 俄罗斯摩登团 The Riots, 澳大利亚朋克乐队 The Prowlers, 匈牙利朋克乐队 THE DERKOVBOIS,德国 MR. IRISH BASTARD 等以及中国牙龈出血,生命之饼,台湾BB弹,伤心欲绝等嘉宾,2016年在奥地利,德国,匈牙利,捷克以及中国19站巡演,2017年台湾巡演。


Holy Shit (Rock)
吉他&唱:维克多 (Victor)
吉他&唱:阿历克斯 (Alex)
贝斯&唱:勃朗特 (Brönte)
鼓:希特 (Xitt)


Holy Shit are a rock and roll super group and cover band that formed in Beijing in 2017, their current line up consists of members of Joyside, Bedstars, the Sino Hearts and Ambulance of Love.


Holy Shit are professional tribute to not only the most outrageous and controversial Rock'n'Roll bands like Sex Pistols, Johnny Thunders and the Heart breakers etc but also force on classic 1960s tunes by the Contours, the Beatles and 1970s like the Buzzcocks, the Only Ones even 1980s Swiss Post-Punk band Grauzone, early 2000s short-lived NYC punk legend the Star Spangles.
Holy Shit are credited for re-creating the same electric atmosphere & awesome wall of sound and bringing back a great Rock'n'Roll Carnival!

山头村的老农、庄稼汉们,白天大部分时间都蹲在墙角下,望着牛拉了车,晒着太阳谝着闲传。
谝着要给谁家的尕怂讨婆娘,谝着张老汉是有多么的怕婆娘。
谝着赵二伯是个大龄光棍汉,谝着谁家的女娃娃在谈恋爱。
太阳落山,大家各自回家,喂羊做饭,吃罢后,月亮挂在窗户上,一家人接着谝。男人们在谝着春耕,期待今年风调雨顺,女人们在做针线,娃娃们谝着过年挣了多少压岁钱。
姐姐、嫂子、尕妹妹、围在一起在听奶奶唱歌,唱的是凉州贤孝,唱的是四季歌...

Line Up:
主唱/吉他:叉叉
贝斯:马继亮
鼓:关铮


败犬始于2016年末,是由三个昔日的朋克少年组成的一直不愿被拘束于某种风格的摇滚乐队。败犬用音乐去记录他们的生活与经历,尝试刻画出这个时代真实的轮廓。


大概两年前不太冷的一天,叉叉问我是否想一起做一个乐队,“但不是玩儿票那种性质!”他强调说。



三大件器乐摇滚,在如今的娱乐环境里,想要引起别人的注意,除了作品过得去之外,剩下的就是凭运气了……一位做设计的朋友和我说过:“一支成功的乐队,每一位成员必须有自己引人注目的一面。”



关铮的加入,使“败犬”从业务与气质两方面得以迅速地提高与完善。很多人喜爱关铮,因为他的颜值与鼓技,以及他演出时那种潇洒自如的状态……但是关铮真正吸引我的,是他帅气外表下那颗真挚的心。你可以通过一个人眼睛里发出的光,看到他小时候的模样……在这一点上,关铮让人印象深刻。


之后的事情,就可以用“顺利”两个字来形容了……从2016年11月份到2017年5月份,我们仨(包括特邀小号手殷田)完成了第一张专辑的排练与录音,其间偶尔的几次演出,获得了一些关注与垂青……其中就包括签下我们的赤瞳唱片。



对我个人来说,“言之有物”是除了“悦耳”之外,衡量一首歌好与坏的另一项重要标准、在朋克摇滚中更是如此,甚至比“悦耳”更为重要……叉叉的全中文歌词(除去未收录在专辑内的两首翻唱作品之外)在内容与韵律上较好地诠释了“言之有物”这四个字。通过他的歌词,你可以看到一个活灵活现的叉叉以及他愿意与你分享的故事和他的一部分内心世界。这也许是“败犬”在短时间内得到一些关注的原因之一吧……所谓“诗词歌赋”,用母语(甚至带着口音乃至方言)作词演唱,我觉得是优秀的歌者与乐队必须做到的。令人印象深刻的表达,应该是言简意赅并且直击人心的……“内容”永远不会被“形式”取代。



最初叉叉把“Outsider”与“败犬”两个名字放在一起让我选择的时候,我选择了后者。做一个精神世界的“Outsider”,这并不难,但是在现实中又如何呢?朋克摇滚总是直面最现实的生活,我们也无奈地接受了一次次的失败……但是,有人并没有就此消沉与妥协,他们说:我是失败了,但我至少努力过。

「创作新女声」吴汶芳以一首《孤独的总和》,一跃成为新世代中最受瞩目的创作新人,首张专辑《汶乱,却美好着》在当时无惧天王天后夹杀,在各大数位平台排行榜高居不下,凭着丰沛灵气的声线混合有时倔强的性格,迅速打造出独属她自己的创作品牌,既有现代都会感又有充满大自然感清澈疗愈功能。更因为电视剧《何以笙箫默》的助力,吴汶芳的名字得以为更多人熟知。



谈起这个台湾女创作歌手,可以从那首《孤独的总和》说起。那是吴汶芳2013年的个人原创单曲,同时也是《何以笙箫默》的插曲,这并不是为这部剧创作的歌曲,但却似乎与校园中的欢欣、单纯生来契合,也能诠释成长后兜兜转转的孤独与苦痛。


2015年,吴汶芳在《最美和声》第三季的舞台上演唱这首歌时,更是被张杰认真告白:“她是我声音里面的另外一半,让我非常享受和徜徉的声音”,并最终成功晋级四强;在 YouTube上,这首歌的总点击率,甚至超过了一千六百万次。


清新却不乏灵气的声线,像夜晚清透的星星,甜美或孤独的音乐中,总是隐现出一种坚定和倔强,这种独特的个性与质感,加上《孤独的总和》这首落入人们内心的孤独奏鸣曲,让吴汶芳一跃成为新世代中最受瞩目的创作女声,并终于在2016年斩获"全球流行音乐年度盛典"最佳新人奖。


音乐本是一种歌手自我的、情绪的表达,即使是商业化包装的音乐,也应尽可能去表达自己,表达有多真诚就会多动人,而吴汶芳就是那种真挚地表达自己的唱作人。
19岁的她第一次离家到台中念书,又要利用周末时间往返于高雄、台中和台北,参加歌唱比赛。无法与朋友、家人见面,不擅交际的她,陷入了深深的孤独。人群从身边穿梭而过,热闹的笑声就在耳边,可对于吴汶芳来说,这一切都与自己无关。“一个独行的过客”也许能比较恰当的形容那时的她,那种源自她内心的孤独感,成就了《孤独的总和》。
包括其他的音乐作品也一样,在她的音乐中确是找不到那种能穿透生命的厚度,但满是青春的欢愉或孤独,而这种感觉恰好你我都有,吉他弹起的是她内心的旋律,跟着一起颤动的却是我们的心弦……


从中学就开始哼哼唱唱,那时候的她可能也从未想过自己真的可以如此地站在聚光灯下,只是把音乐作为抒发情绪的出口、与朋友的交流工具……但最终她还是在父母的担心甚至阻挡下,在孤独感和不安感中,开始了自己的音乐之路。
2015年,第一张专辑出来入围“金曲新人”的呼声最高,却没能得到,这次失利她想着要勇敢面对,却被师兄韦礼安的安慰惹哭,在高铁上戴着口罩一路哭到泣不成声……


此后的一年多的时间,为了增加曝光度,不停地参加比赛,对于一个创作型歌手来说,对于一个刚刚发专辑步入音乐圈的音乐人来说,本就是疲乏和混乱的,加上一段长久恋情的结束……压力和不安感,甚至让她在一次比赛的舞台上突然失声。
不忍细想,舞台上惊慌失措的弱小女生,是那样逞强,有时真的让人心疼,想给她一个拥抱。她从不否认自己的害怕和不安,也从不逃避或退缩,倔强并坚定地向前走。近两年的低潮,在一次凌晨的冲浪中被推入大海,她认为遇见的那片海成就了现在的她。在微博上宣传2017年年末的新专辑《我来自……》时,则更是直呼“我来自海洋”。
新专辑融进了吴汶芳更多的思考,整张专辑非常丰富。她清澈的唱腔和海洋似乎天然就是相合的,其中的新歌《无穷》推出后,便立即抵达了数位线上榜单的3名。


现在的她依然是那个娇小的女生,但在经历了诸多惶恐与不安后,再度站在舞台上的她,更加坚定,有着似乎能扛起宇宙的倔强。
“我曾对台湾女生有种“偏见”——喜欢依赖别人、爱撒娇的柔弱女生,打破我这种偏见的第一个台湾女生不是吴汶芳,但是她却深深深深地印证了那个被更正后的看法——娇小柔弱外表下,其实装满了那种仿佛能扛起宇宙的倔强”。
从《孤独的总和》开始,执着于她坚定倔强的性格,不想放下这种喜爱,也不该放下,就像《何以笙箫默》的书迷或剧迷都知道的那句“既然琴瑟起,何以笙箫默”……
所以吴汶芳「美好」2018巡演,算我一个。

2018春夏之际,City Flanker 开始新了的旅程,即将展开首次全国巡演。回忆起 City Flanker 的现场,听到最多的评价就是,如同一场梦。City Flanker 的音乐就像一个异世界的入口,他们在混沌音墙中构建出的真实梦境,如同平行世界中的隐秘岛屿。在那里,时间不曾存在,梦与现实的界限也逐渐模糊。



City Flanker, 一个成立于绍兴的氛围自赏团体,2015年发行了第一张EP《Let Me But Listen》。并连续两届参加了由 Luuv Label 厂牌主办的东亚自赏音乐节。在经历了成员变动后,确定了现在的三人阵容。


2017年情人节独立发行EP《Sound Without Time》,意为时间之外的声音,源于乐队三人一次奇妙而难忘的旅程。在无垠的时间长河之外,存在着那被遗忘的低语,地平线边际传来隐约的轰鸣,以及在每一颗冰冷外表下渴望温暖的心。



在风格上,尝试了融合合成器电子元素于传统根源梦幻自赏之中,从新迷幻到Chillwave,Dream pop都有涉及。在混沌粗粝的噪音墙中,制造缥缈的旋律,被催眠般,不自觉进入到City Flanker的幻想世界。这是CF的第二张EP,录制于绍兴。生活就像一个漫长的梦,模糊的吉他音墙,交织着痛苦悲伤甜蜜快乐,一切亦是幻觉,我们终将醒来。


唱片实体由赤瞳音乐发行。在实体版本中,收录了两首充满异域色彩的新歌。世界音乐也是City Flanker成员非常感兴趣的风格,特别是中东印度的一些民族音乐,有一种原始的神秘感。


《核子咖喱》的歌名源于著名的游戏系列《辐射》中一款设定来说非常有趣的饮料“核子可乐”,咖喱代表的是对印度传统音乐文化的一种略带调侃的符号象征,在受到了核辐射(现代音乐文化)的影响后,产生了变异从而形成核子咖喱这一种特殊的料理,这和City Flanker将一些世界音乐的元素融入自赏中产生一些奇妙的变化的理念颇为相似,是一种新鲜又奇妙的体验。



《souvenir》则构建了一个完全脱离尘世的梦幻仙境,并有幸邀请到上海自赏乐队 Forsaken Autumn 女主唱作词,担任人声部分。吴雪颖清澈空灵的声音如同缭绕在秘境丛林中阳光下的晨雾,温柔地将你环绕。


2018春夏之际,City Flanker 开始新了的旅程,即将展开首次全国巡演。在不同的城市,与不同的听众,都将成为独一无二记忆。


期待与你,开启一个新的梦境。

The Chinese Jazz Trombone Federation F.O.S. is a large band of full-length number + jazz rhythm group, and is an organization. The league was initiated and organized by the trombo player Yang Ming, and brought together a large number of Chinese professional trombone performers (including the chief trumpeter of the China National Symphony Orchestra Liu Yang) and the majority of trombone lovers and trombone students.


The F.O.S. band only uses the trombone to fully represent the symphonic limbs, and uses the trombone's singing skills, timbre and wide sound field to add rich colors to the music. The orchestra plays from trombone solo to 22 ensemble plus rhythm group, and the music performed together is shocking, expressive, and wide in style, from traditional classical music to modern music and jazz. All along, the orchestra insists that modern music requires a strong foundation of classical music to support the basic principles of scrutiny, constantly integrating new members, and easing everyone’s restrictions on musical style and performance form, thus helping China’s brass and the overall level of music. improve.
