You’d be forgiven for thinking a band with such a long name was of the post-rock variety. In the case of the Irish rockers that make up And So I Watch You From Afar [ASIWYFA] their songs pack a raw punk-rock punch. The band members – joining forces in 2005 – have come a long way since departing their seaside resort town in Portrush, Northern Ireland. They’ve been touring all over the world and yes, they’re back for another whirlwind China experience. Expect driving rhythms and soaring guitar-driven melody lines.

About “Young Dreams”:
http://www.youngdreams.no/site/
All the way from Norway, Young Dreams come from a city that’s often cloaked in darkness and bitter rains. Even so, their music imagines a place where the sun shines bright. Songs bordering on symphonies unveil hidden influences from Baroque to the Beach Boys, and more contemporary acts such as Grizzly Bear and Vampire Weekend. Their debut album Between Places unites these divergent influences and speaks of escaping the oppression of adolescence, dreary weather and the mundane.

因为乐队名字长度的关系，而把And So I Watch You From Afar（ASIWYFA）当成一支纯粹的Post Rock乐队不是你的错。来自北爱尔兰的ASIWYFA同样可以在音乐里传递出朋克的原始能量。这支2005年于北爱尔兰海景小镇Portrush成立的乐队，这么多年来走遍了全世界，并于2012年作为UK闹！系列演出的一部分来华进行了一场别开生面的巡回演出：五个城市，从上海至西南腹地成都、重庆以及丽江，再到最后在北京结束，ASIWYFA一时间在国内人气大涨！
2014年3月，这支因杰出的现场表现而被乐界所熟知的乐队将又一次来到中国，带来神奇的音乐，充满张力的节奏和由和令人沉醉的吉他旋律，必将再一次带给中国乐迷深深的震撼。

北京站特别嘉宾 – Young Dreams 简介：
尽管是来自挪威一个笼罩在黑暗和雨水里的城市，但是Young Dreams的音乐却依然有着如同春天阳光一般的感觉，传递着如同巴洛克音乐和The Beach Boys，或者更当前的乐队，如Grizzly Bears和Vampire Weekend一般的宏大气息。在乐队的首张专辑《Between Places》里，他们成功地把这些音乐影响融合到了作品里，并表现出了足以令乐迷脱离世俗生活和糟糕环境压迫的强大力量。

关于《觉》音乐＋艺术节：
《觉》音乐＋艺术节是由Split Works发起并制作，每年在上海、北京双城齐发的年度音乐＋艺术巨献。2014年即将六岁的《觉》，一直致力于彰显这两座城市中最了不起的本土创意团体，以及来自于世界各地的优秀艺术家和他们无与伦比的作品。最难能可贵的是《觉》是一个注重“圈子”的平台，每年都会有风格各异的音乐人和艺术家加入到《觉》的大家庭，而《觉》就如同调和剂一般把不同的色彩搅拌均匀，使城市、音乐、艺术还有身在其中的人们之都能够融为一体，在不知不“觉”中编织属于自己的艺术篇章。
