自去年7月北美巡演的After Party后，Chui Wan便从演出舞台上销声匿迹了。然而，这并不能阻挡乐队收获因去年发行的同名专辑《吹万》而纷至沓来的好评。经过了半年多的闭关，Chui Wan准备带着几首新作重出江湖。这一次，他们又将踏出国门，于四月中旬展开欧洲巡演，并参演4月16日的里斯本迷幻音乐节。在此之前，他们当然希望将这些新作抢先为国内的乐迷奉上，于是便有了4月2日在愚公移山的这场为欧洲巡演饯行的Pre-Party。

与Chui Wan同台的则是实验噪音摇滚乐队Alpine Decline，值得一提的是原本的“后洛杉矶双人组”如今有了杨海崧作为贝斯手的加入，三人同台将令观众耳目一新。全新三人阵容孕育而出的Alpine Decline新专辑《生于喘息》也将在计划于上半年面世，届时乐队还将携新专辑展开全国巡演。而此次的Alpine Decline也将在本场演出中带来他们新专辑中的作品，邀大家抢先聆听。两支久未露面的乐队携新作而来，北京的乐迷朋友们有福了。这场充满未知与惊喜的视听双丰收正等待你的加入。

Chui Wan (吹万)
乐队*初由闫玉龙和吴琼组建，随后吉他手刘心宇和鼓手John Vincent Marrett加入。2010年开始在D-22燥眠夜演出，闫、刘也各自有其他音乐计划。2011年9月Vincent回国，Josh Feola加入，后于2012年年底退出。2013年李子超加入乐队。四名成员音乐趣味各不相同，迷幻为其交集。即兴中碰撞并采编成曲，在新迷幻摇滚中加入了其他元素。“吹万”二字取于庄子的《齐物论》。

2012年11月，他们的首张全长录音室专辑《白夜》由兵马司唱片发行，出自实验演出系列“燥眠夜"的 Chui Wan 以一匹黑马之姿亮相：这张唱片不仅位列于国内各大音乐媒体的年度十大，其中《Q》杂志中文版和《通俗歌曲》杂志更将其置于榜首。国外乐评网站也未吝啬他们的好评，其中旧金山的Aquarius Records 认为，这张唱片“代表了中国地下新音乐场景中怪异新奇的一面”。在唱片发行期间，他们还与“纽约*的迷幻摇滚乐队”Psychic Ills共同完成了声势浩大的“迷幻中国“巡演。 

2013年初，他们完成了*欧洲巡演，同年年底，他们与Snapline联合策划了名为“飞行器原理与非物论”的舞台剧式演出。2014年欧洲巡演之后，Chui Wan再次与制作人杨帆合作，于年底完成第二张全长录音室专辑、即同名《吹万》的录制。

2015年5月，《吹万》于名为“On The Other Ocean”的乐队*全美巡演之中正式发行，并*终令人惊讶地进入全美*主要的非商业音乐排行榜CMJ前30名。专辑中主打单曲《旷野之声》MV由美国NPR网站*并发布,纽约*重要的艺评报纸《Village Voice》对他们进行了大篇幅专访，Noisey.com认为他们是德国前卫摇滚精神的新时代传承者。当然，这张唱片在国内各媒体的年度摇滚唱片榜上几乎全部上榜，获得包括微博音乐人奖年度十大音乐人大奖、豆瓣阿比鹿音乐奖在内的至少十三项大奖以及提名。 

同时，他们携专辑在世界上*富盛名的音乐节之一——奥斯汀迷幻音乐节上进行的表演，不仅吸引了大量的海外歌迷及媒体的关注，更被称作是音乐节上*的惊喜。随后的美国巡演途中，他们为美国**的线上厂牌Daytrotter.com录制了一张EP《A Spilled Dream Matter 》，并于同年8月份发行。 

2016年，Chui Wan将会继续进行一系列的海外巡演以及创作，比如包括里斯本迷幻音乐节在内欧洲巡演和法国卡昂的驻留计划。

Chui Wan (吹万) is a four-piece experimental psychedelic rock band from Beijing, China. They get their name from Daoist philosopher Zhuangzi's Qi Wu Lun (齐物论), a mystical work on inner sageliness and outer kingliness. Zhuangzi writes: "谓风吹万窍，发出各种音响" - "When the wind blows, every sound may be heard therein."

Inspired by this concept of seeking the infinite from the mundane, the core of Chui Wan's sound is formed by the improvisational compositions of multi-instrumentalist Yan Yulong and guitarist Liu Xinyu. Their lush arrangements for guitar, keyboard, viola, other assorted instruments, and random sound samples often eschew reliable melodies and vocal harmonies in favor of occasional passages of minimal drone or maximal sonic layerings. Bassist Wu Qiong and drummer Li Zichao provide a stable ground floor from which the band can continually float away, like a sound half-heard and soon gone on a gust of wind.

In 2012, Chui Wan released their debut album, White Night, on Maybe Mars, China’s top indie label. White Night was an instant critical success, and gained Chui Wan recognition and a rabid following throughout the China. Lauded as an “impressive, strikingly original debut” by Time Out Beijing and a “sterling effort” by China’s Global Times, White Night was released on a tour with New York kindred spirits Psychic Ills (Sacred Bones Records), which launched Chui Wan into the national spotlight, placing them on stage in front of packed houses in Beijing, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Kunshan, Shanghai, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Macau.

Soon after its release, MTV Iggy touted Chui Wan's debut album as a “psychedelic masterpiece” and declared that “the world needs to hear this noise now.” Indeed, foreign interest in the the band started grow. In March 2013, they were invited to perform at Helsinki’s NiuBi Festival, accompanied by shows across Scandinavia and France.

When they weren’t performing as Chui Wan, the members kept busy with solo performances and side projects. Chui Wan's core members have always been central members of Beijing's dynamic experimental music scene, leading the band to be named by Time Out Beijing as “the hardest working band in psychedelia.” In 2014, that same publication dubbed frontman Yan Yulong among the “ten Beijingers making a mark in the city” and called him “one of the leading lights of Beijing’s experimental music scene."

In October 2014, Chui Wan returned to Scandinavia for a second appearance at Helsinki’s NiuBi Festival — where they played to excited crowds from the pervious year — and added new fans to their base with additional stops in Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and Talin. Upon returning to cold Beijing, they hunkered down in the studio to record their sophomore, self-titled release with respected Beijing producer Yang Fan. SmartBeijing.com, after an early listening, called Chui Wan "a more lush, dense, musical offering than their 2012 debut."

Chui Wan was released in May of last year to a round of international fanfare. The stunning video for its debut single, “The Sound of Wilderness”, was premiered on American radio station NPR during the band’s exhaustive Spring 2015 US tour. During that tour, Chui Wan played an opening set for psych legends The 13th Floor Elevators at the Austin Psych Festival. Their appearance at this mecca of sonic psychedelia earned Chui Wan a raft of new fans.

Chui Wan has more international tours lined up for 2016, eager to spread their sound further and wider. True to their name, the band seems to be carried along by a supernatural wind, while the sound they make spreads to cover the world…

ALPINE DECLINE
Alpine Decline由来自美国洛杉矶的迷幻噪音吉他手柴德林（Jonathan Zeitlin）、华裔鼓手牟建华（Pauline Mu）夫妇及P.K.14乐队主唱杨海崧担任的贝斯手组成。乐队在杨海崧加入之前，已在洛杉矶发展多年，并在本地的独立音乐圈小有成*。但在2011年，为了能有更多时间和资金投入到乐队发展中，更为了重建乐队哲思方向，二人携全部设备离开洛杉矶，移居北京。不像大多数暂时在华发展的外国乐队，Alpine Decline打算长期在京发展；也不像其他“专业乐队”热衷于巡演和获得更多牛逼的演出机会，Alpine Decline所做的*如同自己所说的那样“来这儿，然后创造艺术”。在创作歌曲的时候，Alpine Decline总是带着真诚和自由，并把来自实验噪音、Shoegaze的能量结合在一起。2013年，乐队签约兵马司唱片并录制乐队了第五张唱片《Go Big Shadow City》。同年乐队进行了穿越亚洲、欧洲及美国的巡演，并在澳洲与Psycholops Eyepatch、Lovely Head以及Golden Blonde同台。Alpine Decline的音乐*如同北京的雾霾一样，在虚幻的声场下诠释对生命的理解。*像一位他们的乐迷所说的那样“他们的音乐像Sonic Youth，但是他们又会带来属于他们自己的声音。”。

Washed in flickering 8mm film light, Alpine Decline appeared in 2010 in East LA spinning up their machines and spinning out a web made of quarter inch tape.  In less than a year the guitar 'n drums 'n buzz duo recorded three full lengthalbums and then  promptly vanished, spirited to China and vanishing along the disintegrating edge of east  Beijing. 

A year later Alpine Decline resurfaced, pumping out new albums from the outskirts of the megatropolis.  On 2013's "Night of the Long Knives" and their new album "GO BIG SHADOW CITY," we find the band descending from the high altitude visions of their previous records, walking us gassed out and head numb through chaos and time sickness, deep into the ruins of ancient alleyways and naked skyscrapers.

Recorded in the underground parking garage studio of Beijing’s resident post­punk demigod, P.K.14’s Yang Haisong, "GO BIG SHADOW CITY" is Alpine Decline surfacing from the Beijing haze at the height of their powers, crafting songs with the ghostmemory quality of myths and guiding a twelve song trip deep into the cinematic and stereoscopic landscape of their world, real and apocryphal.

"This is music suspended between earth and sky, searching for the supernatural in the  mundane…" ­ Los Angeles Times

"...heralds a new American mysticism, a tradition that trails back through the  Pentagon­levitating ’60s to Felix the Cat, theosophy and beyond.” ­ L.A. Record

"Still waters run deep ­­ maybe surfacing somewhere in aesthetic kinship between The  Microphones, Sonic Youth and maybe even Alien Lanes­era GBV. But yeah.  Shimmering, shimmering. Real good."  ­ Smart Beijing
