These Are Powers (with PK14 and Carsick Cars) in Shanghai 2009

If you like your dance-music with a touch of grit and spookiness, you just might be a Ghost Punk fan. That’s the term used by Brooklyn three-piece These Are Powers to describe their sound: simultaneously joyful and eerie, anarchic and tightly rhythmic. Think noise rock plus club beats, multiplied by spastic animal magnetism.

Formed in 2007, TAP are comprised of Anna Barie (vocals/guitar), Pat Noecker (bass) and Bill Salas (drums). Sometimes likened to early Sonic Youth, TAP have been making waves with their intense live performances, and their most recent album, All Aboard Future, which Pitchfork described as “distinct and stunning.” Split Works is psyched to be bringing these three merrymakers to Shanghai, as part of a nation-wide tour organized by Beijing-based record label Maybe Mars.

For their Shanghai gig, These Are Powers will be joined by kingpins of the Beijing rock scene P.K.14 and Carsick Cars.

2009年上海: These Are Powers (跟PK14和Carsick Cars)

如果你喜欢充满力量和让人惊厥的跳舞音乐的话,你绝对有可能成为“幽灵朋克”的粉丝。“欢快与怪诞的同时爆发,无政府主义和紧密的节奏,噪音摇滚加上俱乐部音乐的节拍,再乘以痉挛式的动物般的磁性,”这支来自布鲁克林的三人乐队这样描述他们的声音。

These Are Powers组建于2007年, 由 Anna Barie (主唱/吉他), Pat Noecker (贝司) 以及 Bill Salas (鼓手)组成。他们有时听起来有点像早期的Sonic Youth乐队,TAP已经有了无与伦比和另人发狂的现场表演,而最新的专辑被Pitchfork评价为“独特和迷人的”。Split Works很兴奋可以把这三位成员邀请到上海来演出,并同兵马司唱片一起,促成这次另人激动的全国巡演。

在他们上海的演出中,TAP将与北京独立摇滚乐队P.K.14 和Carsick Cars同台献艺。这也不是Carsick Cars与TAP的头一次合作,Carsick Cars的主唱兼吉他手守望也在TAP的最新作品《All Aboard Future》中贡献出了自己的力量。

Carsick Cars已然是北京最好的现场摇滚乐队之一,他们享有“用压抑的力量去爆炸舞台”的美名。在他们的音乐里充满了无所畏惧的精神。他们从不害怕写那些完美的瞬间就能朗朗上口的旋律,就像他们也不害怕他们自己会在那轰轰作鸣的吉他噪音中爆炸一样。他们的第二张录音室专辑《你能听,你能说》,将于6月26日由兵马司唱片发行。

P.K.14乐队于1997年在南京成立,已经在国内外拥有广泛演出经验的乐队。他们不仅独树一帜,也和许多著名的乐队同台演出过,包括,2006年6月在第六届“华语音乐传媒大奖”(中国的格莱美)中被提名为“最佳乐队”和“最佳摇滚乐队”。2006年7月,MTV中国选择他们的音乐录影带《他们》为“每周精选”。最近,《时代》杂志又评 P.K.14 为“2008年度亚洲最好的五个乐队之一以及最值得观看的一支”。他们的第四张专辑《城市天气的航行》,已在2008年由兵马司唱片出版发行。
