新西兰噪音朋克 DIE! DIE! DIE! 中国巡演北京站

New Zealand noise rockers Die! Die! Die! China tour · Beijing

嘉宾Guests：BIRDSTRIKING / LONELY LEARY

在过去的十年中，Die! Die! Die! 大部分时间都花在巡演路上。他们非常的活跃， 演出，休整，再演出，再休整。2016年也依然如此，借着2015年发行的EP《What Did You Expect》，他们再次来到了中国。

这几位来自新西兰的噪音摇滚乐手对中国的观众并不陌生，2009年，他们曾在传奇的D-22酒吧演出过；2011年，十一个城市的中国巡演也令人印象深刻。这一次，他们将再次到访中国的九个城市，以在上海混凝草音乐节的演出收尾。巡演的最后两站，还特别邀请了兵马司旗下的Birdstriking乐队助阵。

《What Did You Expect》是Die! Die! Die! 在2014发行的录音室全长专辑《S W I M.》的一个延续。 EP中的五首歌自然地在躁动和低缓间徘徊；尖锐的和弦穿插在鼓手Michael Praine强力的鼓点中，主唱 Andrew Wilson激情的演唱混合在疯狂的失真里。Die! Die! Die! 的这张新EP 不仅证明了其在噪音摇滚领域的丰富经验，并且再次体现出他们能将旋律贯穿在混乱、躁动之中这样令人惊叹的能力。 

Die! Die! Die! 成立于2003年，自Flying Nun厂牌八十年代的黄金时代之后，再没有哪一支来自新西兰但尼丁的乐队能像他们一样，无论在唱片还是演出上，都收获如潮的好评并得到国内外的关注。在Flying Nun 2010年重组时，Die! Die! Die! 是第一批与其签约的艺术家。 

Die! Die! Die! 身上体现的活力是现在朋克与摇滚场景中许久未见的。他们并不做作或者去刻意安排，直截了当。他们的音乐和现场从来不缺少关注，没有夸张的噱头和花招，乐队希望他们的音乐可以吸引各种各样的听众。

宣泄、直接、无可取代……这就是Die! Die! Die!

Birdstriking

Birdstriking（鸟撞飞机） 是一炸雷，一道黎明大闪电，把你从混混沌沌的梦境里拽回来，然后在灌上一杯火烧喉咙的酒精饮料，让你精神为之一振。这支年轻的噪音乐队成立于2009年，他们的音乐是红色的，充满元气，巨大的音墙，猛烈的鼓点，疯狂砸下，像是要击碎一切含糊不清，一切荒唐无聊的限制，带着年轻人应有的无所畏惧的愤怒。在现场，年轻的小伙子们更是丝毫不吝惜释放身体激情，主唱何凡声嘶力竭，把你的心都揪紧起来，让你真切的感受到这支乐队炽热的真挚。你甚至可以开玩笑的说他们是“愤怒的小鸟”乐队，但他们绝不是娱乐的，狂躁笼罩下的歌词包含深意，埋藏着隐喻；而在简单自然又强健有力的噪音下蕴藏的是年轻的本能的力量。就如同主唱何凡所说的那样“鸟撞飞机为什么会有巨大的破坏力？因为高速运动，时速80公里，产生21.6万牛顿的力量。现在，你有一个机会冲向飞机，用你年轻的身体挑战看似坚不可摧的机器，击落它，粉碎它，虽然会灭亡，但充满热情的意义。”而正是因为如此，CNN甚至把他们称为“中国青年地下先锋”。

Lonely Leary

是一支活动在北京的三人乐队，习惯演奏快速的鼓、粗劣的贝斯线和浑浊的噪音吉他，追求比较暴戾的音乐风格。

Having spent the better part of the past 10 years on the road, Die! Die! Die!'s existence has been a kinetic one: movement, stop, movement, stop, movement. It continues in 2016 as the band heads back to China in support of their 2015 EP 'What Did You Expect'

These New Zealand noise rockers are no strangers to China, having wowed fans across eleven cities in 2011 and performing at the legendary Beijing venue D-22 in 2009, they're back again for a nine-city tour culminating in two shows with rising Maybe Mars stars Birdstriking and a prime slot at Shanghai's Concrete & Grass music festival.

'What Did You Expect' serves as the follow-up to Die! Die! Die!'s 2014 release, the band's fifth full-length studio album 'S W I M.' The five tracks on 'What did You Expect' instinctively move between moments of urgency and despondency; where barbed chords haze over Michael's bludgeoning drum rolls as front-man Andrew Wilson chokes his way through the barrage of frenetic fuzz. Not only does the EP see Die! Die! Die!'s establish themselves as seasoned authorities on noise-rock but it also reiterates the band's impressive ability to instill solid melodies over, under and within all the chaos.

Formed in 2003, Die! Die! Die!'s recordings and live performances have received critical acclaim and worldwide notoriety that no band from their native Dunedin, New Zealand had seen since the eighties heyday of Flying Nun. When the legendary label reformed in 2010 Die! Die! Die! was one of the first new artists to be signed.

Die! Die! Die! embody a vitality long since absent from the rock and punk circuits. There is no rehearsed set of messages, postures or stage antics: cutting to the quick, their songs and live delivery are nothing short of awe-inspiring. Without the aid of gimmicks, hype or pretense, Die! Die! Die! aim to appeal to all walks of life without alienating anyone.

Cathartic, direct, indispensable… You will know them as DIE! DIE! DIE!

BIRDSTRIKING entered the last great chapter into legendary BEIJING underground venue D-22’s book of lore. The band formed after college students He Fan and Wang Xinjiu met at a show by their favorite band, Carsick Cars, and thought — with timeless youthful bravado — “I could do this.” He Fan picked up the guitar and Xinjiu got behind the drum kit; the duo auditioned a string of bassists, finally settling on Zhou Nairen as the third leg of the juggernaut.

D-22, a rock’n’roll dive rooted in Beijing’s Wudaokou university district, had by Spring 2009 launched the careers of many bands that are today household names among global underground rock cognoscenti: Carsick Cars, White, Hedgehog, Queen Sea Big Shark. Birdstriking started there, at the club’s anything-goes, open-stage College Night. They quickly caught the eyes and ears of the very bands that inspired them to start, and were soon playing weekend opening slots ahead of their idols.

Within two years, Birdstriking had inked a deal with Beijing’s top indie label, Maybe Mars, and in February 2012 — just one month after D-22 closed its doors for good — released their self-titled debut to critical praise both within China and abroad.

Though Birdstriking’s debut LP received limited distribution in China due to its socially critical lyrics, it gained the band a diehard following within their local underground. The record’s inimitable mix of tuneful hooks, calculated psych-noise meltdowns, precision rhythmic structure, and brash lyrical frankness quickly cemented them as the frontrunner of a new generation of young Beijing rockers with an equal mix of heart, spit, and vision.

It also carried their name abroad, where they were identified as kindred spirits by veteran California psych rock troupe Brian Jonestown Massacre. BJM gave Birdstriking crucial international exposure when they took them along as support band for a 2014 UK tour.

In 2015, after playing a headlining slot at major Hong Kong music festival Clockenflap and adding fellow Beijing scene veteran Wen Yuzhen on second guitar, Birdstriking set their sight even more firmly on international expansion. Traveling a road first paved by Carsick Cars and their ilk, Birdstriking brought the new sound of Young China to American ears for the first time on their debut American tour in Spring 2015, which coincided with the official international release of their album on US-based label A Recordings.

The boys are now working on their second record, which is produced by Enrique Maymi (guitarist of The Brian Jonestown Massacre) and will be released in the second half of this year. They’ll embark on a substantial national release tour once that’s out, so stay tuned!
