Locally Trapped Wildlife, Vol. 6: Alternative Music Showcase HCMC, VN


7UPPERCUTS // OPNAIRDRGMKT // Lucy in the Sky

*****performing sets of original music*******

Locally Trapped Wildlife is a HCMC-based, artist-curated, alternative music showcase. 

Locally Trapped Wildlife là loạt chương trình biểu diễn của những nghệ sĩ nhạc alternative tại Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, VN.

----------

Locally Trapped Wildlife Vol.6 is proud to feature performances from local bands 7UPPERCUTS, OPNAIRDRGMKT, and Lucy in the Sky.

7UPPERCUTS
A three-piece, high energy pop-punk band based in Saigon. 
Two parts Vietnamese and one part Scottish, the band draws on influences from hardcore and punk scenes all over the blue earth and bases its sound around infectious riffs and melodies, the primal screams of eternal youth, and the virtuosic drumming of Callum Rollo (James and the Vanderbeeks).


^^^^
OPNAIRDRGMKT 
Bubbling up from the frenetic inertia of Saigon, OPNAIRDRGMKT is the propulsive progeny of two prolific, guitar-wielding songwriters emboldened by a clockworkstrong rhythm section. These four dudes concoct a swirling jangle of cosmic rock laced with psychedelic abstractions both enigmatic and familiar. Fresh off of a 6-day tour in Cambodia opening up for the renowned Cambodian Space Project in January 2018, the band is back in HCMC, surging onwards in the new year…


^^^^
Lucy in the Sky
An experimental duo rooted in the ethereal harmonies and echoes of the post-shoegaze dreampop canon. Lucy Howson and Liêm Hiếu make beatific music for the non-believer, a certain sublimity reached effortlessly.

Locally Trapped Wildlife, Vol. 2: Live in Saigon


The Big Slur // Wayfarer State // OADM 

*****performing sets of original music*******

A very special evening of HCMC-based independent rock music @ MÁY CÀY Bistro. 

Locally Trapped Wildlife, Vol.2 features performances from the Big Slur (Anglo roots-rock steeped in insouciant inebriation, intricate dual guitar lines, and a muscular rhythm section), Wayfarer State (Trey Yip's long-running narrative folk project), and OADM (jangly psych-pop duo w/ synth layers and thoughtful word projections).

SAIGON Ộ HIGH feats ninja beat doctor MIKE GAO (LA) - Media Art Party


SAIGON Ộ HIGH

Electronic hip hop music & Live visual art party
Liên hoan âm nhạc điện tử Hip hop kết hợp nghệ thuật thị giác

* Time & Date: 9pm until late - 23rd August 14
* Venue: Cargo Bar, 7 Nguyen Tat Thanh, D4, HCM
* Artists: MIKE GAO (LA), Jase Nguyen, Demon Slayer, Lon
* Live Visual artists: L.A.V [Live Audio Visual]



From the organizers:

Mike Gao is a ninja beat doctor!

After slugging out a career as an underground hip hop producer and DJ (alias Nightprowl) since 2005, winning numerous beat battles from Chicago to LA, working with a who's who of subterranean MCs royalty and producers like Ta-ku and Brainfeeder beat queen TOKiMONSTA, and appearances in Low End Theory invitationals since the early days, Mike's definitely earned steet cred and kudos along the way. He's one of the rare creatures respected by all crews, from affiliations with Huhwhatandwhere (HW&W), to Soulection and Team Supreme, to Kaytranada.

With a new album soon to be unleashed by Alpha Pup Records and a self-released remix project out prior this year, no one really knows where gear head Mike finds the time to nerd out, make his own digital music instruments and software hacks, get a masters and work on a PhD under Miller Puckette, the guy who put the MSP in Max/MSP (the widely used software now integrated into Ableton Live as Max for Live). That's why he's a ninja. That's why he's a doctor.

Oh, and he make beats and is a damn good live electronic musician and improvisor as well! 

Don't be intimidated by his academic pedigree. He's a beat man and hip hop head through and through. 

Odd and sophisticated yet streetsmart and accessible, he peppers his groovy funk, uptempo R&B, soulful dubstep and trap stylings with the right amount of restraint and experimentation, all while flexing his prowess as a beatmaster. You don't have to know it's his custom vocoder app on rap accapellas as he improvises chords to make them sing. You don't have to know it's not spilt beer when on his laptop when he tilts it to make sounds with a program he wrote in ChuCK programming language. You don't have to know it's in odd time signatures when you're getting it down on the floor with his blackhole bass tones, as sultry melodies float by in bliss with synths and chopped up vocals. 

But of course, there's his toys. Watch as he drills as he solos and improvises some chords on his colorful iPad custom apps. Let him show you how it's done. Or just close your eyes and dance.

Stepping it up is our own local bestiary of fantastic musical beat creatures Jase Nguyen, Demon Slayer, and Lon premiering new tracks and tricks. Keep your ears peeled and you may even get a few tunes and teasers of the new material Jase will perform at TECHNO PARADE in Paris this September 

With 3-screens surrounding the performance stage, we're giving plenty of space for new visual experiments with live video and choreography from L.A.V [Live Audio Visual] group.. whose content and hot eye-candy so already in your face, your face will melt. 

So Hi, Hello and get High because Saigon Ộ is back for round 2! 


Saigon Ộ High!

McSorley’s, Ở Đâu? và Saigon Outcast đồng tổ chức show diễn đầu tiên của Dirty Beaches tại Sài Gòn. 

Dirty Beaches là ban nhạc một thành viên thành lập năm 2005 tại Montreal, Canada; tên thật của anh là Alex Zhang Hungtai. Hiện là một trong những nghệ sĩ indie được đánh giá cao trên các diễn đàn âm nhạc nổi tiếng thế giới.

Pha trộn các yếu tố của hip-hop và âm nhạc đương đại trên nền tảng của nhạc rock, đồng thời kết hợp các âm sắc của dòng nhạc lo-fi nhiều cảm xúc, Dirty Beaches tạo ra cho mình một phong cách hoàn toàn mới mẻ và khác biệt, tuy nhiên vẫn phảng phất hơi hướm âm nhạc Bắc Mỹ. 

Trang âm nhạc hàng đầu thế giới Pitchfork miêu tả âm nhạc của Dirty Beaches “vừa gợi cảm theo kiểu ngổ ngáo và bất cần, nhưng lại cũng vừa bảo thủ, và thậm chí hết sức chỉn chu, một sự kết hợp khó có thể tìm thấy ở bất cứ đâu.” 

Với các show diễn đã giành được thành công trên khắp thế giới, chắc chắn show diễn đầu tiên của Dirty Beaches tại Sài Gòn sẽ gây kinh ngạc cho các fan của dòng nhạc indie tại Việt Nam.

**Các ban nhạc hỗ trợ trong đêm diễn**

The Magic Pinions

The Magic Pinions sẽ chơi trước tiên với những bản phối có chút bay bổng và mang đậm màu sắc điện ảnh, lí tưởng để mở màn cho một show diễn có phần ‘xáo động’ về sau.

DMN SLYR

Demon Slayer là tên gọi khác của Dan Nguyen, một nghệ sĩ tạo hình, nhà sản xuất và DJ đến từ Nam California, Hoa Kì. Dòng nhạc điện tử mà Dan mang lại vô cùng thú vị, ngẫu hứng, khó nắm bắt, và có gì đó hết sức thôi thúc.
