NOISE EXPLOSION TOUR

JAPAN meets TAIWAN meets APES. This is the show that we have been dreaming about ever since we started ROCKS. 6 BANDS from all over the world.

JAPAN

AN ATOMIC WHIRL: was formed in January of 2013 by Kenji Usui (Japan) and Brian Giles (USA). Their music is an attempt to make melody and rhythm out of noise and energy. Our main influences are Fantomas, The Melvins, Dillinger Escape Plan, Melt Banana, and many other relatively unknown experimental bands in Japan, such as Slang Boogie, Shuhari, and Matsuzaka. They have played all over South East Asia and are touring USA after this.

TAIWAN

BHD:

以三把吉他的感性對話為主軸,配上富含東方韻味的鼓擊聲、萬花筒般的DJ手法與VJ的迷幻影像,BHD的樂器搖滾(Instrumental Rock)基調便映然而生。從Emotion為出發點,將所有的夢境、想像、生活全然內化,透過著即興演奏的方式創造出"Instrumental Emo"的音樂風格。

The Tic Tac :

從一開始的鍵盤低音和炸裂的吉他聲響,Tic Tac 為自己找了一個新的輪廓。以民謠、鄉村為基底的吉他聲線,更強調韻律及重量的鼓擊和貝斯,勾勒出另一個截然不同的他們,使用著更為成熟認真的語言述說著他們想要表達的世界。

Mr. Dirty:

成軍於2006年的兩人另類龐克樂隊,主要樂風融合老式龐克跟油漬搖滾, 近乎Single Chord的旋律編曲衍生出簡單自然的力量,呢喃模糊的無厘頭歌詞充滿反問與自省的歇斯底里,衝撞瘋狂的酒氣場面與黑色骯髒的下流幽默即將再度復活,一貫的噪音爆炸風格外更多了些成熟穩定與紮實力道,為南台灣最具指標性的非主流暴民樂隊!!!

Apes Apocalypse:

The new dawn is approaching. The world, left in ruins by an inevitable uprising, struggles as it comes to terms with the ongoing battle for species supremacy. Man has had his chance. Has mankind has made its choices and run its course? Is it time to pass the torch to the next rulers of the green, insignificant planet? As one looks out across the remnants of a dying civilization, the answer is clearly whispered… "this IS the Ape Apocalypse.
