Seippelabel Pres. Layers Upon Layers
After a long hiatus, Beijing-New Orleans-based DIY music collective Seippelabel is back with an exciting night of live music. From the get-go, Seippelabel has strived to incorporate international and Chinese artists via live shows and music releases. Layers Upon Layers is a multi-genre musical experience showcasing electronic artists tamiX & Gu Yongjian, indie-hip hop producer Worst Vibes (formerly 1/2 of the Shanghai spazz-punk outfit Pairs), and the always-vibrant antics of Beijing punk band Pizzaface披萨脸. The event celebrates the diversity of these captivating artists and opens the stage for a new string of exciting releases for the label in 2024.
Artist Introductions:
tamiX & Gu Yongjian
This performance is the first collaboration between tamiX and Gu, which stems from their shared love for synthesizers and ambient music. This performance will be a huge collision of improv. synthesizer melody and improv. jazz drum rhythm, which may collide with a large amount of dark matter enough to destroy the world.
Worst Vibes
Worst Vibes is a hyperactive and welcoming rapper & music producer just off the cusp of releasing his debut album, Second Storey Over Wires. The album explores deep nostalgic themes along with vulnerable stream-of-conscious confessions. Worst Vibes' music portrays a litany of themes that include what it is like to be unable to switch ones brain off, spending formative years on music forums, a deep love for nu-metal, and a distrust of vague inspirational quotes. Worst Vibes has been in various bands, such as Pairs, Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes, and Thug Mills. He has toured internationally to China, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Indonesia, New Zealand, and Australia. Worst Vibes got tired of carrying music gear and aligning schedules with other musicians and, as a result decided to make music by himself where he could follow his inspiration wherever it took him. Worst Vibes' live show is one of pure upbeat energy that encourages anyone and everyone to dance and enjoy themselves. It is a performance not to be missed!
Pizzaface披萨脸
Pizzaface 披萨脸 is a Beijing-based punk outfit formed in 2018. They have been described as a sweet, incendiary bomb that’s gone off the rails. Provided by their name, they give off an air of adolescent sleepless nights with acne, and the courage to always dare to say “no”. The band injects a waltz-like dream-pop feel into punk music, seemingly drunk with oxygen on a sleepless mountain. They have had a total of more than 180 performances since their formation, including Strawberry Music Festival, Midi Music Festival, Impact City Sound Music Festival, and Trojan Music Festival, just to name a few. On January 1st, 2020, the EP "Blade Wings" was independently produced and released followed by a national tour that same year. The group has won the LPA Independent Music 2019-2021 Most Potential Punk Band Award and the 2021 SCHOOL Best Live Band Award. Their songs include "If One Day You Are Taken Away by Rock and Roll", "Harley Rabbit", "BOMBCITY" and more than 30 other tracks. Pizzaface披萨脸 invites you to experience their music. Their tunes will give you the softest embrace and the hardest smack with a bat; a most desired gift!
经过长时间的中断之后,总部位于北京-新奥尔良的 DIY 音乐团体赛普厂牌带着激动人心的现场音乐之夜回归。 从一开始,赛普厂牌就致力于通过现场表演和音乐发布来融合国际和中国艺术家。 “层层叠叠”是一场多流派的音乐体验,展示了电子艺术家 tamiX与顾永健、独立嘻哈制作人 Worst Vibes(前上海朋克乐队 Pairs 的 1/2)以及始终充满活力的北京朋克乐队 Pizzaface 披萨脸的滑稽动作。 该演出旨在庆祝这些迷人艺术家的多样性,并为该品牌 2024 年推出一系列令人兴奋的新作品奠定基础。
关于艺人:
tamiX与顾永健
这次演出是tamiX和顾永健的首次合作,缘起二人对合成器以及氛围音乐的共同热爱。这次演出将会是即兴的合成器旋律和即兴的爵士鼓节奏的一次大对撞,可能会碰撞出大量足以毁灭这个世界的暗物质。
Worst Vibes
这张专辑探讨了深刻的怀旧主题以及脆弱的意识流自白。Worst Vibes 在音乐中描绘了一系列主题,包括无法关闭大脑的感觉、在音乐论坛上度过的成长岁月、对新金属音乐的深爱以及对含糊不清的励志名言的怀疑。 Worst Vibes 曾参与多个摇滚乐队的巡演,在中国、马来西亚、新加坡、韩国、印度尼西亚、新西兰和澳大利亚等世界各地都留下了精彩的表演。他厌倦了携带音乐装备和配合其他音乐人的日程安排,决定自己制作音乐。作为独立音乐人,他可以追随自己的灵感,随心所欲地创作音乐。 Worst Vibes 的现场表演是一种纯粹的正能量,鼓励所有人来跳舞,尽情享受音乐。这是一场不容错过的演出!
