ZaZaZsu组合（原名背景音乐组合），由毕业于北京大学一位小姐姐和两位少年组成。自2017年1月创立起，他们从校园走出，将都市流行情绪融入音乐，为听众带来许多幽默而意乱情迷的歌曲体验。
慵懒的小姐姐和俊秀的少年，他们是三位理想主义者，也是一个低声呢喃着都市情绪的爵士组合。“苦中作乐，为浪漫附议。“——他们的音乐里有灵动的情话，有无所畏惧的态度，也有机智幽默的回答。“我最喜欢的是那些只谈情不说爱、彼此调皮的小故事，它们代表了恋人在爱情里对自由的执着。”

代表作：《别担心，宝贝》、《说我想你的十六种方式》、《Love me for me》、《塞纳河没有情人锁》。

While Modernsky Lab has closed down to the shock of Beijing’s creative community, the label behind the venue is still very much alive and kicking. And what better way to prove it than to organise a gig or two, or even an entire four-day festival, because why the hell not? This year’s Sound of the Xity is mainly focused on showcasing homegrown talent with almost a dozen Chinese bands already preparing to hit stages all over Beijing. Venues include DDC, School Bar, Yugong Yishan, Tango and Yue Space. There is hardly a better way to get familiar with Beijing's music scene and local tastes than this.

DDC，as the one of favorite spot of our delegates ,find the fabulous balance between proving two kinds of experience ,Chill and Edgy .This show also follows this style. This time , we have the famous indie band Mayuanshiren who come from northwest of China and the new Beijing band Peppercorns who is enlightened by psychedelic in 60s and 70s. If you enjoy the likes of Foal,Bonobo and Coldplay, you should not miss Nocturnes.AAAAND, we have a special headliner, best rock billy band in China, Rolling Bowling to make your trip worth it and set your heart on fire!

The bands in School are all BADASS guys. The abbreviation of SNSOS is She Never Sings Our Songs and the band is the first band who dares to rip off their own face from the press shot in these years of Sound of The Xity.

White Paper performed yesterday. And not all the bands dare to use the name like New Youth that can’t be searched in Baidu website and is full of provocation. The English name of the band 丢莱卡 is Wasted Laika . The word “Laika” is the name of the dog which was sent to the universe by a Soviet rocket and turned to dust and ashes when he was retrieved.
