"Southwest Wind" refers to the performance band or members coming from the southwest region of the motherland. About this time, listen to what they have to say:

It seems that everyone's imagination in the southwest area is different, some people think it is barbaric, others think it is mysterious. Imagine that there is no true or false, right or wrong. The imagination of the Southwest, like the imagination of this future and the universe, is full of infinite possibilities. The land may be gorgeous, it may be ordinary, it may not exist. But it's people's imagination that makes all the difference. Region is not an obstacle to our mutual understanding, it is the characteristics of the region that make us have living tentacles, and the moment different tentacles meet, the resonance we feel may be the meaning of existence. This time the resonance was "conspired with" by four Guizhou people, who carried the imprint of the southwest land on themselves and tried to experience the feeling of collision.

These four bands with Guizhou musicians may not be unique, but they long for an exchange without words.

- Shen Xingyu (small noise)

"The improvisation of a few Guizhou musicians contributed to a subtropical monsoon. With twisted guitars and southern poetry, spaced seasons and time, stubbornly blowing north, wind erodes reality. ”

- Old Moon (the dolphin disappeared)

It's raining in Beijing these days, and I'll open the windows in my small room a little bigger to make it less difficult for the southern atmosphere to enter. Does the familiar weather make you miss the familiar feeling even more, or the music? Or a conversation? I'm not sure, let all the reverie unveil in a week!

SCHOOL's guitar revival program for the second play! In this era of "Diqu" bands where "broken cans" (PGM) were prevalent, "good jump" seemed to be the basic criterion by which a band was judged. Although existence is reasonable, although we must look forward, we will still miss the original boiling, rough texture, step distortion, dancing fingers like song guitar rock, the unadorned, guitar bass drum three pieces, the great guitar rock era.

The theme of the guitar revival project is to invite bands of this texture to lead SCHOOL friends, especially those who have just entered the "pit" of live music, to experience the possibility of one more kind of music, it may not be very good, but it must make you taste endlessly. I also hope that on this night, the guitar can reappear in this era as the C position of rock music!

At night, the faint street lamps of the world are pulled down, and the false feelings are all closed in the daylight. Moonlight is the invisible cloak of surging emotions, and it is the mystery that erases the ignorant youth in the absurd youth! The careful night conceals how many words do not reach the meaning, and hides the unspeakable heart into the silent evening breeze.

There is no single way to romance, such as the invincible you can use a bottle of beer at a convenience store and see the stars falling in front of you.

A carnival feast of rational escape, the spirit dissolved in the bottle of the galaxy, this night let us meet here and watch the stars together.

As a bass player, Chen Jin has participated in the creation, recording, and performance of many bands, and even he can't remember the number of bands. Among them, the most noteworthy is that when Chen Jin was in the Dream Band, many of the works he participated in were later included in Dou Wei's solo album "Black Dream".

Since the early 90s, Chen Jin has not only played a band, but also reserved a piece of the sky for his spiritual world. The new album "Devil's Unleashed", released in April this year, is his most satisfying one of his six solo albums. The new album is still based on folk songs, with a variety of arrangement styles, and music forms such as new wave, post-punk, and reggae are familiar to Chen Jin, and this time, everything flows smoothly and naturally.
