Tour Announcement: Japandroids
A two-piece guitar-and-drum duo formed by Brian King and David Prowse during their school days at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada, Japandroidseschew the “logistical nightmare” of appointing a lead singer and instead share vocal duties. They are one guitar, one set of drums, and two vocalizers. Japandroids are maximal – a two-piece band trying to sound like it’s a five-piece band. Their ‘songs’ run the gauntlet of rock & roll subgenres, with the boys ripping off too many different bands to sound like any other duo making music right now. This August, Split Works is delighted to welcome Japandroids to China for their first shows. Dates below // more information forthcoming.
Japandroids China Tour 2013:
Beijing // Friday August 23 // MAO Livehouse // 100RMB (Presale) / 120RMB (Door)
Shanghai // Saturday August 24 // Yuyintang // 100RMB (Presale) / 120RMB (Door)[:zh]
实验说唱组合Shabazz Palaces六月中国巡演
独立实验说唱二人组Shabazz Palaces，来自最潮的纽约独立嘻哈圈。2011年首张专辑《Black Up》得到独立乐评超高评价，充满非洲及爵士影响的异域色彩，被认为是“发现了Hip Hop的不老之泉”，让嘻哈乐更新换代，Pitchfork在乐评中写到“用‘魔力‘来形容这种蜕变，丝毫不夸张”。Sub Pop下最摩登，最具未来感的说唱组合Shabazz Palaces即将来到国内巡演，两人的现场配置奇怪有趣，信手拈来的出众说唱技巧，毫不费力却让人着迷，即便不是Hip Hop的资深乐迷也能从中找到惊喜和共鸣。

“让人肃然起敬…… 属于这个世纪的摇滚乐” —— Pitchfork (8.8/10) 一把吉他加上一套鼓就能带给人振奋无比的摇滚乐：来自加拿大的新晋摇滚大牌Japandroids在去年发行的专辑《Celebration Rock》可以说是2012年度摇滚乐迷必听的作品。凭借这张专辑，他们上了《滚石》杂志评选出的“2012年Top 50”榜单, 还被评为“加拿大史上最佳50张专辑”之一。Brian King （吉他/主唱）和David Prowse （鼓手/合唱）在读书时认识，经历了坎坷的自力更生之路后终于凭借首张专辑《Post-Nothing》获得风向标Pitchfork 的关注，被著名厂牌Polyvinyl Record相中并发行《Celebration Rock》后从此晋升为目前最炙手可热的加拿大摇滚乐队。Japandroids生猛、无所顾忌、激情四射的音乐风格为他们赢得了超棒口碑。在领衔Coachella 2013音乐节之后，他们将马不停蹄展开系列亚洲巡演。Split Works有幸在8月，为所有喜欢Japandroids的乐迷们组织两场能量槽爆满的摇滚派对！
