艺人介绍

胆小懦弱的人可能在挑战来临的时候退缩,但Young Knives从来没有因为他们那种古怪的气质而阻碍成功的脚步。2002年,这个三人的独立摇滚乐队凭借着处女专辑《The Young Knives…Are Dead》而开始崭露头角。他们凭借着充满感染力舞曲般律动的节奏、滑稽的音乐视频和现场所表现出的激情,赢得了大众广泛的称赞。Young Knives曾经为Kasier Chiefs、The Futureheads 和Hot Hot Heat等众多当红乐队的演出担任暖场嘉宾,乐队的T-shirt也随之销量大增。

Young Knives来自英国Leicestershire的Ashby-de-la-Zouch,他们曾经站在德克萨斯SXSW音乐节的舞台上,也担任过香港Clockenflap音乐节的开幕嘉宾,他们终于于2009年在Split Works的努力下来到上海和北京进行了他们首次中国演出。

Hailing from Oxford, England, the Young Knives feature Henry Dartnall (vocals/guitar), Oliver Askew (drums), and Thomas Dartnall (bass) (aka House of Lords). These snarky post-punk revivalists initially started out playing Ned's Atomic Dustbin songs while living in their hometown of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, but a move to Oxford in 2002 gave the Young Knives their big break. An appearance at the Truck Festival led to the band issuing The Young Knives...Are Dead mini-album for Shifty Disco in 2002. Three years later, the trio was playing shows alongside the Futureheads and Hot Hot Heat while readying their debut EP for Transgressive. The limited-edition Junky Music Make My Heart Beat Faster sold out quickly; "The Decision," which was produced by Gang of Four's Andy Gill, followed in December 2005. In the new year, the Young Knives' growing popularity seemed unstoppable. Both "Here Comes the Rumour Mill" and "She's Attracted To" made the U.K. Top 40. Additional shows with the Rakes and Dirty Pretty Things wowed the U.K., and the band's American performance debut at the annual South by Southwest conference in Austin, TX, proved successful. The Young Knives' debut album, Voices of Animals and Men, arrived in the U.K. that August and in the U.S. in early 2007.
