今晚(上半场),「熔在他人的梦」日本前卫摇滚乐队OGRE YOU ASSHOLE 中国初巡演 @loopy

I WOULD LOVE TO PLAY WITH

OGRE YOU ASSHOLE.

I LOVE 'EM.

SOME GUITAR BANDS JUST

DON'T HAVE THE NERVE TO BE POPPY

AND SECOND-GUESS

THEMSELVES, YOU KNOW.

Johnny Marr, Modest Mouse / The Smiths

顶着莫名其妙从街边醉汉处得来的硬核团名

却以 indie-rock 清新系乐团的姿态

在主流圈辗转数年

身上贴的标签从 AOR、soul、迷幻、前卫

一直列到 Post Punk 和 Krautrock 

2001 年组于长野县的

OGRE YOU ASSHOLE

或许会让很多初接触的乐迷摸不着头脑

但如果你愿意花一些时间进入他们的音乐，

会很容易发现内省和（由此带来不可避免的）

忧伤是他们一贯不变的内核

Picking up their hardcore name 

from a drunk encounter, yet appearing in the mainstream scene for several years as an indie-rock band, OYA acquire a range of labels: from AOR, soul, psychedelic and progressive rock, to post-punk and Krautrock. When you first come across OYA, you may be confused what they really are. However, if you are willing to dive deep into, you will discover the constant core of them: introspection with its resulting melancholy.

Modest Mouse 是个绕不开的名字，尽管乐队一再强调自己从没刻意模仿谁，或是从某几个特定的乐队汲取灵感。但早期由双吉他驱动、美式 indie-rock 痕迹明显的音乐，再加上各种渊源轶事（Modest Mouse 前贝斯手 Eric Judy 迄今被英文维基记载的唯一成就便是日本巡演时酒后给 OYA 起了名），还是让他们不可避免地一度被认为是「日本的 MM」。

The name Modest Mouse is inevitable, though OYA claim that they have never intended to imitate anyone or gained inspiration from any particular genre, nor band. Nevertheless, they are considered in their earlier era, as the ‘MM of Japan’. This close connection of them is due to their apparent American indie-rock style back then. And the famous story: the kinky band name was actually given by Eric Judy, former bassist of Modest Mouse, who was then drunk during their Japan tour and encountered with OYA's founder drummer, Nishi Arata.

「我们一开始是有在按那样的套路玩的。但我们大概在 2011 年开始听六七十年代的迷幻摇滚，听灵魂乐和 AOR，现在我们的作品是吸收了很多不同影响之后的结果。」主唱出戸学在 2016 年接受采访的时候这样说。除此之外，包括 Can 在内的 Krautrock 乐队，也对他们产生了关键影响。

‘We were playing in that sort of vein when we started, but from about 2011 we absorbed elements from the 1960s and ’70s’ psychedelic, soul and AOR.’ Deto said during an interview back in 2016, ‘Our sound now is an integration of all these things we listen to.’  Apart from the mentioned, Krautrock bands such as Can are also a key influence.

乐队很早开始就一直与制作人石原洋及音响师中村宗一郎合作，这个二人组同时也与ゆらゆら帝国、坂本慎太郎和 Boris 关系密切。十余年里 OYA 一共发行了 7 张全长专辑，2 张现场专辑和若干 EP，其中包括了与 Yo La Tengo 贝斯手 James McNew 合作的 EP 《頭の体操／なくした～James McNew Remixes》（2017）。EP 的名字一目了然，McNew 用全新的混音重新诠释了 OYA 的两首歌。这也符合 OYA 一贯以来的创作思路，他们从来不吝于突破自己的音乐边界或者推翻自己。

OYA corporate with Ishihara You (Producer) and Nakamura Souichiro (Sound Engineer) since early on. The duo of them also maintains long-term partnerships with Yura Yura Teikoku, Shintaro Sakamoto, and Boris. In their long enough discography, the latest ones include the interesting EP ‘Crossword/Lost, Sigh, Days - James McNew Remixes’. It’s clear enough in its title that it’s a joint work feature James Mcnew, Bassist of Yo La Tengo, remixing two of their songs. It perfectly fits their consistent idea, that they never fear of exploring the new boundary of their music.

OYA 在录制专辑时一直尝试更多样的组合，但坚持在现场演出时保持四人编制并重新编曲。对他们来说，现场演出和棚内录音是两份同样重要但完全不同的工作。他们在现场更像一支「传统」的摇滚乐队，四人在每个不可复制的现场关于既有作品的对话和重新演绎，总会带来新的惊喜；而这也是他们获得新的创作灵感的最好场所。

OYA has always strived for more imaginative combinations in their recordings. Nonetheless, they insist to remain a 4-piece band when playing live. For the band, lives and studio recordings are two distinctive yet equally significant tasks. In live performance, they're more like a ‘traditional’ rock band, each live performance of them is non-replicable since they reinterpret the existing framework and fashion new communications every time on stage, and this brings them surprises and vigorous inspirations.

今个五月，OYA 将首次来到中国，邀请大家一同到现场「熔在他人的梦」。

This year in May, OYA will come to China for the very first time. You all are invited to Melt in Someone’s Dream with them together.

杨公堤上下运动社团

杨公堤上下运动社团，这个名字源于一则“都市传说”，如果你曾坐过杭州194路公交车，经过杨公堤时你就能体会到这是怎样的一种物理运动。乐队前身为Bye Bye Disco。

上下晃荡的噪音旅程，飘忽闪烁的少年呓语。
