The Swamp in DaLian: Fainness of bosom friend's meeting
----- Details of Swamp's tour all over China in DaLian
This is not a warm weekend evening, in DaLian, a gorgeous seashore city, a group of guys who are from Southern China, the Swamp are bringing more and more unexpecting dreams in musical styles which you will feel complex and variational. But you will feel contrastive. Two different kinds of musical languages, blurredly variational electronics and unstrung rock, have been mixed a row of shadowy music walls, just like bringing sea wind from the South, with salty and damp smells, also bringing fast move footsteps in crowded streets. Although there are no connection between both of them, they surely come in harmony.
The Swamp also invite another group which are known as post-rock, WangWen, to be on-stage guest. Compared to tranquil environment in DaLian, WangWen bring more surprise to our hearts. just like some quiet passion, slowly crouching on the quiet lakes or small ponds, will be like crackle explosion, and finally make a huge wave in the Oceans.
This stopover of Swamps' tour is in Lalian tonight. The stage for them is located in "Rock Action Club", which is run by WangWen. Somebody would say this is the base of LaLian's independent bands. They keep spreading the spirit of Post-rock, step by step they have been changing musical environment in this city.
The sky is turning dark quickly, and all performance starts early, right at 7:30pm. The weather is not as cold as expected, compared to this quiet city, some quiet people go into the club and sit around the stage, but closely.
WangWen bring people's attraction to the stage, queitly and naturally, sing!
Between gap in different song, you would hear some noise of big hands, and then feel their excitement and feeling.
then next, here comes the Swamp's show time. The leading vocalist, HZ, makes a joke with audience,:" it seems this is special expression to band show only in Dalian?!" and then more people step forward close to the stage.
Obviously, we need a calm heart to listen to the Swamp's music. we will feel warm and touch in "Fear", seems in a fresh "morning", leave every nightmare behind...
The Swamp belong to being live. They are focusing on playing. It seems like a piece of gorgeous painting from the combination of sythesizer and electronic tambourine.
More obviously, they belong to being tiny live band show. They can keep closer with audiences. It seems they are flying in the sky, sailing in the sea, and tracking in partial tracks. Only with faint lighting in the bar makes us feel more gorgeous, more freeer...
The last song, "Transmutative story", one of the lastest work from them, makes the live show more exciting. People wouldn't like to leave until they make sure the Swamp won't come back.
Tonight, we have a chance to grab the Swamp and WangWen to come together, which are being with same dreams and feeling of music.
