Dream City Film Club

小简介
　一个英国的低调乐团[梦幻城市电影俱乐部](Dream City Film Club)，以Soho区一座被烧毁的色情电影院命名，由主唱Michael J.Sheehy、贝斯手Andrew Park、鼓手Laurence Ash三人组成，他们自1995年成立以来在知名独立厂牌Beggars Banquet(以发行低调歌德乐团Bauhaus而知名)发行过两张专辑：1997年的首张同名作品[梦幻城市电影俱乐部](Dream City Film Club)，1999年[在清晨的冷光中](In the Cold Light of Morning)。首张专辑风格阴沉黑暗，就像观赏大卫林区(David Lynch)电影般，扭曲的听觉经验。睽违四年之久第二张专辑，诡异远甚於前者，就像专辑封面一只僵死的鸟儿般，整张专辑的音乐充满了歇斯底里却又冷酷抑制的自虐式呢喃噪音，不带颓废的气息但却有著强迫听者的挑衅，骚动神经处的混乱。在"Nerveshot"一曲中，Sheehy粗嘎破碎的声音喊著"I wake up this morning, and my nerves are shut pieces"，吉他与歌声交叠为音墙压来，这种融合grung与post-punk的乐风使其更添其暴冽成分。"Billy Chic"中吉他耐人寻味的和弦进行与性爱喘息声般的媚惑声响，"Fuck it"中，男女人声於迷幻的乐声交替贯穿，悬吊的吉他音线在背後游走，彻底呈现了DCFC的魔力与阴质本性。聆听DCFC，身边会弥漫於低迷气氛中，对於毁灭倾向的人而言，实在是危险的死亡助力。
来自英国曼城的Dream City Film Club是这样一支乐队:低调,深沉,淡淡的忧伤之下裹藏着一颗悲痛至极的心。乐队灵魂Michael Sheehey的嗓音像温暖的湖面，但他把最寒冷的情绪放在了湖底，表面上他在和风相互交谈,而在几米以下的湖底，哭喊的悲痛。失去的都不会再回来，仿佛预言般让人深信了结局的存在。
几乎在台湾很少听到有人在讨论DCFC，但它在欧美被著名的NME杂志以Nick Cave般的一定音乐风格相喻，DCFC成名时机指日可待。这个密码化身是一个英国的低调乐团[梦幻城市电影俱乐部](Dream City Film Club)，以Soho区一座被烧毁的色情电影院命名，由主唱Michael J.Sheehy、贝斯手Andrew Park、鼓手Laurence Ash三人组成，他们自1995年成立以来在知名独立厂牌Beggars Banquet(以发行低调歌德乐团Bauhaus而知名)发行过两张专辑：1997年的首张同名作品[梦幻城市电影俱乐部](Dream City Film Club)，1999年[在清晨的冷光中](In the Cold Light of Morning)。首张专辑风格阴沉黑暗，就像观赏大卫林区(David Lynch)电影般，扭曲的听觉经验。睽违四年之久第二张专辑，诡异远甚於前者，就像专辑封面一只僵死的鸟儿般，整张专辑的音乐充满了歇斯底里却又冷酷抑制的自虐式呢喃噪音，不带颓废的气息但却有著强迫听者的挑衅，骚动神经处的混乱。在"Nerveshot"一曲中，Sheehy粗嘎破碎的声音喊著"I wake up this morning, and my nerves are shut pieces"，吉他与歌声交叠为音墙压来，这种融合grung与post-punk的乐风使其更添其暴冽成分。"Billy Chic"中吉他耐人寻味的和弦进行与性爱喘息声般的媚惑声响，"Fuck it"中，男女人声於迷幻的乐声交替贯穿，悬吊的吉他音线在背後游走，彻底呈现了DCFC的魔力与阴质本性。聆听DCFC，身边会弥漫於低迷气氛中，对於毁灭倾向的人而言，实在是危险的死亡助力。
Dream City Film Club came together during the spring and summer of early 1995. I had been playing the North London gig circuit as a solo singer/songwriter for about 2 or 3 years when I met Laurence Ash and Alex Vald at the Bull & Gate in Kentish Town towards the end of 1994. They were promoting gigs there and must have seen something in my ragged drunken performances. Around April ‘95, Laurence’s band, Furlined, had split up, so he was at a bit of a loose end. We decided to play together informally at first. After a couple of weeks or so we invited Alex to play guitar. Alex was by no means a virtuoso, but we were struck by his unique approach.
During this time I had watched the demise of an excellent if inconsistent band named Breed. My brother urged an unemployed bass player to check out one of my solo performances. Enter Andrew Park. Whilst seeing some potential in our work, Mr. Park was worried by our shortcomings and was difficult to coax into the band at first. Eventually, we set to work arranging songs I had written such as “Porno Paradiso”, “When I Sleep”, “Vague”, “Do Myself Harm”, “Night of Nights”, etc. Eventually we started writing together: “Pissboy”, “If I Die I Die”, “Filth Dealer”. By July 1995, we had enough material to do a gig. I believe it was 31st July. We took the stage at the Bull & Gate for the first time under the moniker of Dream City Film Club
