“These guys got style…. you get this new and intricate musical entity that can blow minds worldwide… It’s only a matter of time before they take a bite out of rock n’ roll as we know it” – Consequenceofsound.net
Straight from the hipster heaven of Montreal Canada, Split Works gives you We Are Wolves. Just after the Mid Autumn’s full moon, these wolves will be ravaging through China on a four city tour from September 10th to 16th. Although We Are Wolves have played over 500 concerts worldwide, this will be their debut tour in China. Expect waves of psychedelic euphoria to wash over audiences in a fit of fury to get the floor spazzing out to the howls of We Are Wolves.
Since their beginnings with the American label Fat Possum in 2005, We Are Wolves earned serious stripes playing along side the likes of Gorillaz, Bloc Party, and The (International) Noise Conspiracy. The now mythic trio, presents an honest and uncatchable sound; a bit like celestial lightning hitting a sacred mountaintop. Heavily influenced by visual arts, they paint a post-punk landscape, scattered with analog trees. Their primitive approach remains true to their animal of predilection: untamable.
After a switch to Montreal based Dare to Care Records, May 2007 brought We Are Wolves’ single “Fight and Kiss”. They then successively released their second and third full-length albums Total Magique (2007) and Invisible Violence (2009). Both critically acclaimed albums were followed closely by press such as NY Times, CMJ Report and Spin Magazine. After more than 100 concerts across Canada and the United States, We Are Wolves offered its devotees a fourth sacrifice on the altar of rock: La Mort Pop Club, released in early 2013. The album channels indescribable electric fields of post-punk adrenaline.
This September, Split Works is releasing the wolves on China. Release your inner hipster nature and check out We Are Wolves as they prowl around the Middle Kingdom.

“他们个性十足，聆听如此新潮酷炫的音乐将使你的思绪与世界接轨。我们知道，不久之后他们必将成为摇滚圈的传奇。” ——Consequenceofsound.net
We are Wolves 是一支来自加拿大时尚之都蒙特利尔的独立舞曲朋克摇滚乐队。乐队成立于2000年，2005年签约美国独立厂牌Fat Possum，使得他们获得与Gorillaz、Bloc Party、和The (International) Noise Conspiracy等大牌乐队同台演出的宝贵经验。这个以狼为名的传奇三人乐队传达自由而真诚的声音，犹如一道闪电直击神秘山巅。他们采用启应唱法（call-and-response），用电子合成器衬托桀骜不驯的冷酷嗓音，在他们的作品里，你可以听到后朋式的前卫、充满活力的电音摇滚，以及迷幻电子舞曲风。
在加入蒙特利尔的Dare to Care厂牌后，We Are Wolves进入音乐生涯的创作巅峰，2007年和2009年分别发表了第二及第三张全长专辑《Total Magique》和《Invisible Violence》。这两张在音乐界广受好评的作品也备受媒体追捧，纽约时报、SMJ Report和Spin杂志紧随其后竞相报道。在美国，欧洲等地进行了上百场巡演，积累了丰富的现场经验和创作灵感之后，2013年We Are Wolves再次发威，发行了第四张专辑《La Mort Pop Club》，聆听时你将深深陷入扑朔迷离的迷幻电场，感受冷酷后朋旋律深入骨髓的刺激感。
目前为止We Are Wolves辗转世界各国已举办500多场演出。这一次Split Works将他们邀请到了中国展开四城巡演，其中第四场北京站，他们将与美国R&B-Hiphop说唱双人组THEESatisfaction同台共演，迷幻爵士嘻哈 + 独立舞曲摇滚，为乐迷带来前所未有的别致混搭体验！
