=======================================
Iconic Beijing record label Maybe Mars have a who’s-who of China’s rising talent on their rosters, bands that have helped to define the sound of that oft-blogged-about Beijing music scene.
Split Works’ inaugural JUE festival in 2009 included a Maybe Mars Shanghai Showcase featuring Snapline and AV Okubo. We are very excited to be teaming up with our friends at Maybe Mars to bring these two bands back to Shanghai for JUE 2011 to share a bill with two fresh Shanghai acts: Duck Fight Goose and Pairs.
************************************************************************************************
Snapline: A post-punk band that is highly praised by numerous fans and critics, and is one of four remaining “No Beijing” bands. Their low-key style makes them sound like their music emanates from behind a mysterious fog. In addition, their sharing players with talented experimental duo Soviet Pop also brings them extra attention. The band has not played outside Beijing for many months: they have been busy reworking their second album which was released in the USA by Invisible records. This sudden showcase in Shanghai has caught many fans by surprise, don’t miss it!
************************************************************************************************
AV Okubo: The overwhelming success of their debut album The Greed of Man and good press on Pitchfork have both brought the spotlight onto AV Okubo. Their powerful driving sound plus unbridled performances, and the band’s unique “break wave” style is sweeping across the country. They hail to the past, they thrive in the present and they are constantly looking forward to the future: that’s AV Okubo. It is guaranteed that their second appearance at JUE will be remembered.
Duck Fight Goose: It is an all-star band. Han Han, 33, Da Men…each member is famous. Beside playing math rock, neo-psychedelia also influences the band. No wonder The Guardian paid attention to this promising band a while ago.
Pairs: The duo is influenced by New York’s No Wave movement. They are one of the most exciting new bands to appear on the scene last year: full of explosive energy. Pairs jokingly call themselves a “terrible band”, but more and more people fall in love with them every day.[:zh]

作为中国摇滚乐当家厂牌之一的兵马司，以其独一无二的先锋气质受到了国内外的高度瞩目。兵马司唱片致力于让中国最富有创造性的艺术家得到世界性的认可，并让这些鲜活的时代声音得到共鸣。此次“芷江梦工场”的专场演出是兵马司唱片与“《觉》音乐+艺术节”的第二次合作，我们希望能够继续将最优秀的声音传递到更多人的心中。
Snapline：这是当年“No Beijing”的四支乐队之一，粉丝众多的后朋克乐队。低调的作风让这支乐队颇有些神秘色彩，加之与天马行空的实验组合苏维埃流行（Seviet pop）的交集阵容，更令这支乐队吸引了无数的注意力。除了先前第二张专辑（Invisible版）的非正式放出，Snapline最近并没有多少动作。这次他们突然决定南下参加演出，着实令人激动了一把。（http://site.douban.com/snapline/）
************************************************************************************************
AV大久保：首张专辑《大时代》的成功，还有Pitchfork的上榜，都已经证明这支乐队的出色。强大的电音气场及放肆的舞台表演让他们的“破浪潮”力压群雄。向过去致敬，并于时代的旋涡中冲向未来——这就是AV大久保。相信他们在“觉”的二次亮相，将引发大合唱。（http://site.douban.com/avokubo/）
鸭打鹅：这是一支全明星阵容的乐队，韩涵，33，大门……每个都是响亮的名字。除了大玩math rock之外，还受到美国新迷幻运动的影响。前一阵受到英国卫报的瞩目，也属理所当然。（http://site.douban.com/duckfightgoose/）
Pairs：这支二人乐队受到纽约no wave运动的影响，充满着爆炸性的高能量，是去年最令人惊喜的乐队之一。戏谑的自我调侃为“比较糟糕的乐队”，可却让越来越多的人对他们上瘾。（http://site.douban.com/pairs/）
