艺人介绍

Miles Kane:前The Rascals乐队主唱和Lead guitarist(乐队于2009年8月份宣布解散),最为人熟知的是担任The Last Shadow Puppets 乐队的词曲创作和主唱之一,另一位是来自Arctic Monkeys的Alex Turner。Miles kane现在已经开始了自己的Solo事业,并且继续负责The Last Shadow Puppets乐队的音乐工作,他的首张个人Solo 专辑《Colour of the Trap》在2011年5月9日正式推出。

The Little Flames

在18岁那年,Miles Kane以吉他手的身份加入“The Little Flames”乐队。在短短时间内,乐队便取得了一定的成绩,得到了很多乐队(比如Arctic Monkeys)和Fans的支持。他们开始与The Coral, The Zutons, The Dead 60s 和 Arctic Monkeys进行合作巡演。然而,“The Little Flames“成员最终因为对于乐队音乐定位的分歧而解散。

The Rascals

随后,Miles Kane加入到了The Rascals乐队,作为lead guitar,主唱和偶尔的backing vocals的同时,他也开始负责乐队的主要词曲创作。乐队拥有着与众不同的音乐感觉,被认为是:'awesome rockin beats' with a 'psychedelic quirk' and a 'compelling and unique dark underlying spirit'。2007年12月,The Rascals发行了自己的首张EP,虽然未登上排行榜,但乐队被评为2008年新晋乐队。2008年6月23日,乐队发行了首张大碟'Rascalize' 。

2009年8月,Miles Kane离开了The Rascals乐队。

The Last Shadow Puppets

在随同Arctic Monkeys展开巡演的过程中,Miles Kane与Arctic Monkeys的主唱Alex Turner结下了特别深厚的友情。他们分享着对于音乐的爱和激情,在演出后台,他们共同创作和演奏了新歌。这时,他们意识到对于两人的songwriting partnership应该有一个交代,于是,The Last Shadow Puppets诞生了。

两人决定去法国西海岸找寻制作人James Ford ,并在那里录制首张专辑《The Age of the Understatement》。新砖刚一发行,便空降排行榜第一位。&The Age of the Understatement& 作为The Last Shadow Puppets发行的第一支单曲,在英国单曲榜上曾获得过第九的位置。在2009年全英音乐奖提名名单中,The Last Shadow Puppets获得了“英国突破表现奖提名”。

音乐评论员认为:“Alex所写的歌词,简简单单大多透露出这次合作的愉快和舒心之旅,能找到Kane这种知音似乎比得大奖还要过瘾。”“Bacharach-style pop?虽然不清楚是啥风格,又或是创造他们自己所独特的风格来膜拜那些他们所欣赏的乐队,听来比较夸大,傲慢,甚至被外界评论为愚蠢的想法,但你还是不得不佩服他们的无畏。” “而Alex,Kane的和声真的可以说配合的相当不错,说不上唯美动听,但至少难以释怀,蠢蠢欲动的情感迸发,随着飞驰的鼓声和吉他的拨弄让整个境界得以升华,对我来说,没有辜负自己的好奇心,也没有辜负这次看热闹的人。”

虽然乐队惜败而无缘The Nationwide Mercury Music Prize,但他们已经赢得了 Mojo Breakthrough Award,和其他各式各样的荣誉。

An indie pop veteran by his early twenties, singer/songwriter and young Paul McCartney look-alike Miles Kane has played a key role in the late-noughties alternative scene, as both a member of three bands and a solo artist. Born in 1986 in Merseyside, guitarist Kane formed Little Flames with childhood friends at the age of 18, but after Eva Peterson and Mat Gregory left the band due to creative differences, he, along with bassist Joe Edwards and drummer Greg Mighall, continued as a three-piece under the new name of the Rascals. In 2007, with Kane now on vocals, they released their debut album, Rascalize, and appeared in the British hooligan film Away Days, performing an Echo & the Bunnymen cover. After supporting Arctic Monkeys on their U.K. tour, Kane became friends with lead singer Alex Turner, and due to a mutual appreciation of Scott Walker, they decided to record an album together. The Last Shadow Puppets reached number one with their debut, The Age of the Understatement, scored a Top Ten single with the title track, and received a 2008 Mercury Music Prize nomination. After Turner returned to his day job, Kane decided to leave the Rascals and pursue a solo career. In 2010 he worked with Super Furry Animals' Gruff Rhys on material influenced by Serge Gainsbourg and John Lennon. His first single, &Inhaler,& was released the same year.
