[:en]Split Works gives you a night of double delight coming straight from the artistic hubs of Montreal, Canada and Seattle, Washington USA. Just after Mid Autumn’s full moon, the stars will align to see these soul darlings and hipster kings perform in Beijing within the intimate confines of new hutong hotspot DDC on September 16. Experience the sonic waves of We Are Wolves and be spiritually awakened by the earnest and unorthodox but right-on beats of THEESatisfaction.
We are Wolves
“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
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.
THEESatisfaction
“THEESatisfaction: their music is full of joy, of sensuousness and sensuality, of acid wit and ambitious creativity…. When Cat and Stas speak and sing, you really should listen” – BBC
Stasia Irons and Catherine Harris-White make up THEESatisfaction. The pair live/laugh/love/dance and create in the artistic hub of Seattle, Washington. They write, produce and perform their own material, with an aim to share their positive energy. The duo is proud of their Black American heritage and take every opportunity to empower women around the world. Their honesty and purity shows through in their intonation and listeners won’t be standing still once THEESatisfaction step on stage.
THEESatisfaction dropped onto the mainstream music radar in 2011 with their appearance on Shabazz Palaces’ Black Up album. Since then, they’ve been the starlets of those in the melodic know. THEESatisfaction serves up melodies in the form of funk-psychedelic feminista sci-fi epics with the warmth and depth of black jazz and Sunday morning soul, frosted with icy raps that evoke equal parts Elaine Brown, Ursula Rucker and Q-Tip.

[:zh]从被誉为艺术之都的加拿大蒙特利尔和美国西雅图，我们将电子朋克狼族We Are Wolves和爵士嘻哈双子星THEESatisfaction不远千里带到北京。这是两支风格迥异却都带有迷幻色彩的乐队，他们将于9月16日在北京黄昏黎明俱乐部同台演出，为乐迷献上一个双重惊喜的夜晚！
We are Wolves
“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。
THEESatisfaction
“THEESatisfaction：她们的音乐充满欢乐、感情和性感，你还可以感受到敏锐的机智和无限的创意。或许你真的应该去听一下。” —— BBC
THEESatisfaction是来自西雅图的R&B-hiphop 说唱双人组，由Stasia Iron和Catherine Harris-White两位黑人姑娘组成。Stas负责说唱，歌手则是Cat。他们在华盛顿念大学时相遇，Stas直言，初次听到Cat的歌声就被深深吸引，鼓起勇气与她搭讪，两人从而相识相知相爱。THEESatisfaction最先是由几张EP及数字作品在网络广为流传；2011年，他们在前卫嘻哈艺人Shabazz Palaces首张专辑《Black Up》里献声而惊艳客座，从而被Sub Pob这个因Nirvana之名而红的独立厂牌相中签约； 第二年，THEESatisfaction就推出了她们自己的首张专辑《awE NaturalE》，每首歌都与公平、爱情、种族等社会问题有关，除了引人深思的主题，整张作品亦如一个迷幻爵士的嘻哈实验，融入浓郁的Funk骨髓，神秘而充满未来感。其中一首《Enchantruss》是与Shabazz Palaces主将Palaceer Lazaro合作的。
