樂隊信息
地點:中國北京風格:Indie、Grunge、Punk。
活躍年代:2009-至今
國王之像樂隊(king statue),風格INDIE ROCK,成立於2008年,樂隊所有成員均畢業於北京現代音樂研修學院,99界到2001界爵士系。無論從基礎的樂理、節奏、和聲學,到隨意的即興、創作、合奏,亦或是西方音樂史、搖滾、爵士及歐美流行音樂文化發展等都成為每位成員當年在校時的必修課。06年,主唱貓柯希和吉他手高放再次相遇並闊別了各自以前曾經合作過的樂隊,開始一起做音樂。之後也找過很多樂手合作過,但都因各樣原因而告終。直到07年,樂隊的第2把吉他,貓柯希的弟弟欒健加入,半年後貝司金興加入,08年鼓手司鳳鳴最終加入,樂隊正式完善並成立。08到09年為樂隊排練磨合期,09年6月國王之像正式首演出於13CLUB的一個拼PAR,之後相繼在新豪運、新光現場、愚公移山、MAO、江湖BAR、微薄之鹽、慈善冰雪音樂節都有多場精彩演出。
主唱貓柯希更以手模女王、腿模、廣告模特、詞曲製作人、占卜師等多重身份被眾多媒體及廣告商關注。她在樂隊現場的藝術表現力可謂聲色俱佳,古怪及特例獨行的表情、聲線及修長抽象的肢體語言,時而濃妝艷彩時而清湯素顏的極端個性,和她復古多變的裝容,僅在首演後幾個月的多次現場表演後,就贏得眾多攝影師的菲林,並被業界一些權威人士稱為是“令人傾倒的最具Super Star范兒的主唱”。貓柯希在詞曲方面很有天賦和熱情,從小彈鋼琴、唱歌和多年的詞曲製作積累,使其詞曲風格自成一家,寫作視角獨特,有著超出常人的細膩感性。演唱的即興功底極強,能隨意跟任何樂手的配樂即興合唱。吉他手高放有一個圈裡朋友們送的可愛外號“吉貝雙胎”,只因其在吉他及貝司方面造詣頗深,從技術、節奏、運用及創造力都已提升到非常高的水準。之前也在嘻哈團體Young Kin、爽子與義和團中擔任過貝斯手。目前,他也在外籍女歌手Jess Meider和藝人姚政的樂隊中擔任一名職業貝司手。閒暇時間也對外教授吉他及貝司課程,平時也不斷的加強其他樂器,例如鼓方面的訓練。國王之像的名字是貓柯希起的,她信仰塔羅,塔羅本意取源於埃及的“道”(Tar)“王”(Ro)兩字,有“王道”之意,取名時抽出的是正位“皇帝”牌,象徵著四元素、四季、一統宇宙與安定世界的力量,成功支配等含義,故終以國王之像命名。這是一支年輕但音樂素養深厚並秉承著自己特有的風格的極富創造力的樂隊,樂隊成員相互都是同學、朋友,他們之間有著深厚的友誼,是一支超強的具有凝聚力和向心力的樂隊。
King Statue is an independent rock band, formed in 2008 with a unique style and great creativity. All the members were graduated from Beijing Modern Musical Study College in Jazz and Pop singing apartment.
In 2006, Lolita (vocals) and Van Gogh (lead guitar) met again, they both left the band they cooperated with and started to play music together. Afterwards, they tried to collaborate with many other bandsmen, who all left because of different reasons. Finally in 2007, Lolita’s brother Luan Jian (rhythm guitar) and Jin Xing (bass guitar) joined and in 2008, with Phoenix (drums)’s final join in, the band was formally formed.
In June 2009, after running-in period from 2008 to 2009, King Statue developed their first performance in 13club, a live house in Beijing. After that, the band starts to build their reputation with all the wonderful performances in New HaoYun Bar, The Star Live House, YuGongYiShan Live House, Mao Live House, JiangHu Bar, WeiBoZhiYan Club, etc.
Leading singer Lolita can always attract numerous media and advertising agents for her multiple identity as the hands model queen, legs model, ad model and producer. She has got a strong expressive force in live shows, weird but unique voice, slender and abstract body language, variable make ups with an extremely inimitable individuality and all of those gained the film of many photographers for her. She is widely regarded as the ‘fascinating leading singer who‘ve got the most super star like style’
Guitarist Van Gogh has a cute nickname ‘guitar bass twin’ given by his coteries due to his accomplishments because he has reached a pretty high level on technique, rhythm, management and creativity on guitar and bass. He used to be the bass player in hip pop group ‘Young Kin’ and ‘ShuangZi and YiHeTuan’. Currently, he is also a professional bass player and playing an important role in American singer Jess Meider’s and pop singer Yao Zheng’s band. Van Gogh teaches on guitar and bass in his spare time and he is strengthening the skills on other instruments such as drums as well.
It was Lolita who named the band King Statue, she believes in Tarot, rooted in two Egyptian Characters ‘Tar’ and ’Ro’ with the meaning of kingcraft. When decided the name, the Tarot card picked out was ‘The emperor’ on an obverse position, which means four elements, four seasons, the power to stabilize the world and unify the universe, to successfully control and so on. So, the band finally became the ‘King Statue’.
This is a young band but all of its members have great musical accomplishments with their own faith in the music world. They have extremely deep relationships with each other and without doubt, King Statue is a united, steady and powerful band, it’s going to be a success.
