Leading up to the release of their debut album, Beckon, The Hormones wrap up a 20-date China tour with one final date in Beijing. These four ladies from Chengdu are making waves in the country’s post-punk scene and have only matured since their founding in 2011, recently working to hone their craft with Tim DeWit, former producer and drummer of New York’s Gang Gang Dance (who also happens to be on the bill). Expect a renewed focus and songs that are sultry and melancholic as much as they are barbed and fraught when they touch down in the capital.

Dr. Yu Meina and Dr. Fu Hong the two ladies who formed the "Yu （羽）" Piano Duet are sharing very similar life experience - they started piano learning in a very young age, entering into music conservatories and then went to Germany for further education. They both achieved the highest level degree on solo concert piano performance, and came back to China, teaching in China Conservatory of Music. Also, both of them were honoured winners of various competitions. Their "Yu" Piano Duet was formed when the two lives across and both of the young concert masters see themselves in each other.

The Chinese character "羽 (Yu)" means feather, and is combined by two characters of "习 (Xi)" which means study; and the character "羽" looks like two people study together in solidarity. The image of feather brings feelings of elegance, flexibility, tenderness, and delicacy. Their music is best described by this character, which brings the audience freedom of imagination. With continuous effort of practicing and performing, the two ladies bringing depth and further interpretation into their duet, and their art reached harmony, distillation and liberation through independent thinking, cooperation, and even conflict, and their music therefore filled with much life and energy.

Marthe is a music group founded after an atypical meeting between Alexis Moutzouris grec saxophone player and Florent Briqué french trumpet player. Together they decided to built a singular musical universe exploring jazz, rock and improvisation.

Lucas Territo on bass and Damien Bernard on drums are the two last members of the band.

The rock power, the energy of jazz improvisation, the modern writing style along with a touch of Grec traditional sound create a decidedly contemporary aesthetic. Incredible melody written by Alexis will offer you a wonderfull journey to Grece.

The new Album, available on March, Will feature Famous french Singer Thomas de Pourquery and American Rap singer Mike Ladd. Inouie distribution and Oreille en friche Label will release this album.
