Cui Jian Zhengjun led the Tang Dynasty

The most brilliant generation of Chinese rock music Chengdu "integration"

Since 1986, Chinese rock and roll began to develop vigorously. At the same time, a large number of representative figures have emerged. They have added a great deal of ink to the history of Chinese rock and roll and made indelible contributions. For example, Cui Jian, Panther, Tang Dynasty, Zhang Chu, Zheng Jun, Xu Wei, Pushu and so on are familiar to the public. And this time, the most brilliant generation of Chinese rock and roll music gathered together to perform "integration" in Chengdu.

In 1986, Cui Jian stepped onto the stage and shouted "Nothing at all" to everyone in his voice. After the performance, the audience stood up and applauded and saluted Cui Jian. They realized that a new form of music had been introduced into China, when Cui Jian was 25 years old. After that, although he suffered various criticisms, but he did not choose to compromise, but always created his own music, he wrote all those words in the music, in the way of rock and roll music to tell everyone that he must have his own judgment.

As one of the oldest rock bands in China, Panther has witnessed the rise and fall of Chinese rock music. Since 1987, the members of Panther have changed many times, but what has not changed is their restless music style. From the release of the first album of the same name, Panther, their musical strength doomed them to become phenomenal Chinese rock bands; there were Panthers, and naturally there was the Tang Dynasty. Several long-haired young people released the album Tang Dynasty in 1992, which caused a great disturbance in Chinese rock and roll music. The whole of Asia was shocked. Infected young people began to learn to grow long hair, wear leather jackets and jeans. People realized that a new pop culture was spreading in China, which was rock music.

Dou Wei and He Yong all slowly withdrew from the public view. Only Zhang Chu was still pronouncing "loneliness". From Xichuangguan to Sister, it seems that there are always stories hidden in Zhangchu's lyrics. Many people say that Zhang Chu is a lonely poet. Perhaps only music can really enter his heart. Xu Wei, this name has always been talked about by many fans. From depression to today's Xu Junior, Xu Wei's song has also changed from darkness to warmth. What the public sees is the sunshine of Xu Wei. His music can always warm many sad young people like sunshine, telling them to stand up and go forward bravely, and live more than just in front of them.

And Zheng Jun, and Park Shu... The rock and roll boom of the 1990s will be repeated in Chengdu...

Li Zhixie Tianxiao Second-hand Rose Leadership

A new generation of independent musicians arrived

Chengdu is an important independent music town in China. Independent music is an important city characteristic and industry direction in building "the music capital of the world". This Music Festival gathers benchmark musicians and artists who have performed well in the field of independent music, and is known as the "Chronicle of Chinese Independent Music". Chengdu Business Daily reporter learned that the first round of the music festival was sold out in 10 minutes.

After the performance of Chengdu Strawberry Music Festival in 2018, Li Zhi said, "Ten years ago, I was in Chengdu and experienced the 5.12 earthquake. So, no matter what the performance is like, I hope those who have gone through all the hardships can live bravely, thank you. As a benchmark figure in the history of Chinese independent music, Li Zhi can say too much. Once living in Chengdu, he has indelible feelings for Chengdu. Because here, we had the hardest time. He cried and struggled here, and sprinkled his youth here. This "cactus music festival" is also likely to be Li Zhi's last visit to Chengdu this year.

It took Xie Tianxiao nearly 20 years to walk from the underground band to the Beijing Sports Institute. He often talks to others about: "I want to prove that underground bands are not a situation, but a choice, and an underground band can also go to gymnasium level concerts." Xie Tianxiao is undoubtedly the king of the scene. His quality of the scene will never disappoint you. A song "Xiangyanghua" makes thousands of rock and roll fans crazy. And second-hand rose, which combines the Northeast flavor of two-person turn with modern rock and roll, together with its unique Suona performance, has become a unique rock and roll show.

In 2014, with a song of Wonderful Ability, Chen Li instantly landed on the first page of the Bean Flap Music List. Chen Li is not willing to go to work, to sign a broker, to sign a record. She is a person who does not like being tied down. It can be said that Chen Li's temperament is not only her appearance, but also her music. In every song of her, you can hear the story. In her song, you can see a whole happy river and lake, and Chen Li is the warmest knight-errant of that era.

And Li Quan, and the Universal Youth Hotel... A new generation of independent musicians will be in Liaoyuan, Chengdu.
