Here, Zuo is going to push the new pants band!!
Founded in 1996, New Pants was a hit last year in "Summer of bands", and music critic Wang Shuo called it "there are many bands, but there is only one new pants".
Friends familiar with the Strawberry Music Festival should understand that New Pants is a band under modern sky, and the "Strawberry Music Festival" was officially founded by the company, so it is natural that the New Pants Band is a regular visitor to the Strawberry Music Festival.
As a domestic music label, Strawberry Music Festival is another music festival brand founded by Modern Sky in 2009 after the "Modern Sky Music Festival", with the characteristics of temperament diversity, spring, romance and love.
"Strawberries are not only a fruit, but also an attitude to life." At the same time, the Strawberry Music Festival is also the largest outdoor music festival in Asia and one of the most popular music festivals among domestic music fans.
As the "Ivy League" of the Strawberry Music Festival, New Pants has been with the band of Modern Sky since its earliest days, and has been established for more than 20 years. In terms of seniority and time, they are second to none in China.
The unique style of the music scene
The New Pants Band is composed of lead singer Peng Lei, keyboardist Pang Kuan, bassist Zhao Meng, and drummer Hayato. The band participated in "Summer of the Band" in 2019 and won the championship, which was later known to more people.
Their works are all original and have their own unique aesthetic. And the lyrics also have a deep meaning, which can resonate with the audience. The main thing is that their interpretation allows you to feel the ideas they want to convey.
The New Pants band played punk style early in its formation. In 1998, the band released their debut album " New Pants " , which was named the top ten albums of the year by several magazines.
On the second album, Disco Girl, the architecture of guitar pop and electronic music began to be used.
In October 2006, after the release of the fourth album "Dragon Tiger Danren", New Pants won the Best Rock Band and Best Rock Album Awards at the Music Awards Ceremony. The album led to the disco boom of the time and the dressing craze of young people.
On the album, the music of the new pants began to favor the New Wave and pop electronic style. At the same time, in the interview, New Pants said that so far, he likes the song "bye bye disco" on this album the most.
Shortly after that, New Pants toured Australia on Dragon Tiger Danren, the first Chinese rock band to tour the country in the early days.
After that, new pants released their fifth album "WildLings Have Love" in 2008, and began to go in the dirt shaking style. After the style change, the traffic began to become particularly red.
In 2017, in Dapeng's film "The Sewing Machine Band", he sang the movie interlude "No Ideal People Are Not Sad", Peng Lei admitted that this song brought a lot of things to the band. Later, Peng Lei also said in the program that "Life is Hot Because of You" is a relatively satisfactory work written in the past two years. Finally, "The Last Summer" was used as the band's summer finale song to get the final Top 1 trophy.
Among them, the lead singer of the band, Peng Lei, is blind and tells the truth every time. Describe Li Shi as an online artist, the electricity is pinched, there is no more, and also describe "Strange Story" as a quarrelsome program. It caused a burst of laughter from the audience and the on-site personnel. It is also a myriad of fans.
Music is not the antidote, but their blood
When the members of the new pants were interviewed backstage, Peng Lei once admitted that he did not dare to watch the other party's performance status on the stage, afraid of laughing. Indeed, on stage, when Peng Lei does not speak, you will feel that he is a bit like a child with uncoordinated limbs, silly and a little stupid.
But when the music starts, they dance to their own music on stage, it is charming and feels incredibly coordinated. There is no way to evaluate their dance style separately from their works. Because, if their dance posture is taken out separately, it is not a dance music, nor is it beautiful. But paired with their own music, it is a perfection that cannot be copied.
Yadong once said to Peng Lei after listening to the performance of the new pants for the first time, I didn't expect you to dance so well. Yes, Peng Lei's outfit is always a pair of black pants that are easy to dance, maybe this is the "new pants" that will not change, Peng Lei will dance a "new pants" logo before every time he starts performing, which is also their unique symbol.
"Net red" treasure man Peng Lei: The truth is him, kindness is him, and humor is also him
Peng Lei has many qualities, but I think the most prominent thing is the truth. The truth lies in "daring to speak", but he does not talk nonsense, but talks about his true feelings and tells the truth. For example, he confessed that the band had suffered a crisis in the modern company, the company had let them retreat to sing to Zhang Qiang, and also said that they were squeezed dry by the modern company, although it was a joke, but it also more or less expressed the bitterness of the band.
The simple thing is that he has no baggage, he is not false, he does not want to hurt anyone's anger, he is just saying his feelings and what he wants to say.
Kindness lies in the fact that he knows how to be grateful and dares to express it. For example, he did not hesitate to encourage other bands or canvass for other bands on stage, such as at the end, thanking what he considered to be the biggest contributor to the show. Peng Lei can be regarded as a kind of righteous existence.
Peng's humor is Peng Lei's most personal feature, because no one can replicate his humor. He has small eyes open, his head hunched over, and he will always say something that amazes you. If he doesn't speak or express, you can't feel his wisdom, but after watching his performances and works, you will think he is too cute and be fanned by him.
During the epidemic period, Peng Lei insisted on presenting a song of his own on Weibo every day to accompany everyone and survive the epidemic. Netizens even called it "the prince's bedroom performance". Peng Lei is not handsome, nor is he a model, but those qualities in him are worth thinking about, liking, or praising.
Everything has changed, everything has not changed
The members of the new pants band have changed many times from its inception to the present. Now he is a regular member, lead singer Peng Lei, keyboardist Pang Kuan, bassist Zhao Meng and drummer Hayato. If Peng Lei is the shining star, then these members must be the milky way that sets off this star; if Peng Lei is a shining light, then these team members must be power and current; if Peng Lei is the soul of the band, then these team members must be the organs that support the band. They are an indispensable presence in the band, they have their own sparkle and glory.
Keyboardist Pang Kuan joined the new pants earlier, he and Peng Lei are classmates, the earliest to learn design. Pang Kuan also has his own uniqueness, once opened a store to sell his favorite domestic goods and self-developed and designed retro style goods, in the artistic creation, although it is not the same as Peng Lei's style, but the design brought him aesthetics and his ubiquitous retro characteristics are also integrated into the new pants, becoming the final overall presentation of the band.
The band's bassist, Zhao Meng, is good-looking and is a female bassist, which is not less concerned by everyone, and thus adds a lot of color to the band. And Zhao Meng is also the lead singer of another rock band: The Shining Star.
Drummer Hayato is the most silent presence in the band, from Japan, in addition to being the drummer of the new pants band, he has performed as the drummer of wong Tai Wai Band at the Spring Festival Gala, sharing the stage with international famous bands such as Nin and Ramone.
Each member is a unique element that makes up the new pants. Although the middle members have changed, what has not changed is the good work that the new pants continue to bring us. "Some people are depraved, some people are crazy, some people go with the wind..." But the new pants are still there, the work of the new pants is still there.
It's better to fall in love than to dance, and you can also watch the Strawberry Music Festival live at home! Buy a beer and continue to bungee
