来自 Kaishandao 的话：
今年夏天，我很幸运地在 Aotearoa（新西兰）撞见了这两个乐队的现场演出，并立刻爱上了他们的音乐、舞台表现力和个性。
这个一月，BIRDPARTY 的Emma（又名 Ludus）和Will在他们位于Whanganui的可爱家中接待了我。作为Homeland 新西兰巡演的一部分，我们和Alphabethead在Porridge Watson酒吧举办了一场精彩无比的演出。随后，我和卓玲在Camp A Low Hum音乐节上与BIRDPARTY再度相遇，他们在 Lagoon 舞台上的表演让观众为之疯狂。这让我开始思考：这个强力二人组在中国一定会大受欢迎。种子就此种下……我被彻底打动了。
回中国后，我在Ins上发给 Ludus说“来中国吧”的消息收到了她热情高涨的“好啊！” 于是， CHINA TOUR 的邮件论坛就此诞生，我们的计划也开始了。与此同时，我收到了刚刚获得 Taite 音乐奖（相当于新西兰的年度专辑）的Vera Ellen 的消息，她也有意在十月期间来中国巡演。莫不是冥冥中的安排？
经过讨论，我们决定合而为一，共同策划并实现这次盛大的联合巡演！

我与来自 Pōneke（惠灵顿）的创作歌手兼乐队主唱Vera Ellen 是通过我的老朋友、多才多艺的制作人和音乐人 Ben Lemi 介绍而相识的。在 Nest Fest 音乐节上，她把自己美丽的蓝色吉他借给了我，让我得以在那场倾盆大雨中继续演出，而她的乐队也在新西兰观众面前献上了一场明亮且充满活力的表演。
我在 Camp A Low Hum 再次观看了她们的现场 —— 这回，观众把 Renegade 帐篷挤得水泄不通，我对她们的喜爱更加深了。
这是五年来我第一次以 Kiwese 厂牌的身份主持新西兰艺人的中国巡演（上一次是 2019 年的 Womb + Strange Stains）。除了显而易见的疫情原因，我也一直在与自己的心理健康状况、倦怠感和缺乏动力作斗争（Kiwese基本上像一只沉睡了好几年的卡比兽）。
这次新西兰回归之行向我注入了全新的力量与能量。在 Camp A Low Hum 当中，我重新找回了对现场音乐和由音乐联结的社群的热爱。所以我决定整理心情，再次出发！
我非常自豪地宣布这次巡演，向大家展示我十分钦佩的乐队。能够将这些来自新西兰的优秀音乐人带到中国演出，我感到无比荣幸。我迫不及待地想让大家来到现场感受他们的音乐。演出见！
Team Chat. We're coming!!!
backstory lore
by kristen
I had the pleasure of seeing both bands play multiple times over the summer and fell in love with their sound, vibe, energy.
In January, Emma (a.k.a. Ludus) and Will from BIRDPARTY hosted me at their lovely home in Whanganui for a killer show at Porridge Watson with Alphabethead on the Homeland tour.
We met up again at Camp A Low Hum where they obliterated the Lagoon Stage to a roaring crowd. Cogs and neurons began firing, a killer power duo, this would go hard in China, the seed was planted…
Back in China, my DM to Ludus of “come China,” was met with “YEAH!!!”, which turned into an email thread and plans. Around this time, I got a message from Vera Ellen about touring in October. Cosmic or what? As such, we have pooled our energies into this one mega tour!
Vera lent me her beautiful blue guitar at Nest Fest, introduced by old friend, producer, and multi-talented musician Ben Lemi. I caught them again at Camp, where they packed out the Renegade with a killer set, which further deepened my fandom.
This is the first Kiwese China Tour in five years (the last being Womb + Strange Stains 2019). Aside from the obvious pandemic, I’d been struggling with mental health, burnout and lack of motivation for some time (Kiwese was basically a dormant Snorlax for 4+ years).
Empowered and energized by my trip home to New Zealand, and reconnected with my love of live music and community at Camp A Low Hum, I decided to give this thing another go!
I am excited to announce these artists are coming to China and I can’t wait for you to hear them live.
See you out there!
来自新西兰的 BIRDPARTY 是极端金属音乐人 William Barrett (Heresiarch) 和环境电子舞曲制作人 Emma Bernard (Ludus) 的奇异组合。该组合运用基于采样的纹理、迷幻的人声和鼓声，为富有探险精神的听众打造出火花四射、妙趣横生的科幻原声。
BIRDPARTY的现场演出无法定义且不容错过。他们探索着氛围与喧嚣之间的领域，创造出一种宣泄性、噪音化、电影般的成品。
自2023年诞生以来，BIRDPARTY已经成为新西兰最令人兴奋的新兴现场演出团体之一，在 Twisted Frequency、Newtown Festival、Camp A Low Hum 和 Welcome to Nowhere 等音乐节和惠灵顿市立画廊上吸引了众多观众。
该乐队是 Aotearoa Artists in Solidarity with Palestine (AASP) 联盟的一员，并在去年为TAUTOKO GAZA 筹款音乐合辑贡献了创作。他们计划于2024年发布首张专辑，随后则将在新西兰和中国进行巡演。这将是他们第一次出国表演。
BIRDPARTY常驻新西兰旺格努伊，与他们的猫咪 Sweetybub 一起生活。
* 注：奥特亚罗瓦 Aotearoa，毛利原住民语中的新西兰。
BIRDPARTYis the unlikely merging of extreme metal musician William Barrett (Heresiarch) and ambient/electronic dance producer Emma Bernard (Ludus).
Constructed with sample-based textures, trippy vocals and drums, the duo buildscintillating sci-fi soundtracks for the adventurous listener...
Undefinable to conventional genre, BIRDPARTY’s live show explores the realms between ambience and uproar — delivering a cathartically noisy spread of cinematic semi-industrial goods & services.
BIRDPARTY are based in Whanganui, where they live with their cat Sweetybub.
Vera Ellen在简洁的歌曲创作方面是一名专家，每个音符与节拍都恰到好处。她的专辑由其清晰、自信且放松的嗓音率领，充满了引人入胜的旋律。
Vera Ellen最初在垃圾摇滚/独立乐队 Maple Syrup 和 Sweater 这样的乐队中崭露头角。搬到洛杉矶后，她组建了乐队 Girl Friday，在独立巨头 Sub Pop 的子厂牌 Hardly Art 上发行音乐。2020年初，Vera回到了新西兰，随后在当地传奇后朋克厂牌 Flying Nun 上发行了《It's Your Birthday》和《Ideal Home Noise》。
这两张专辑都获得了评论界的赞誉——《It's Your Birthday》为 Vera Ellen 赢得了2022年新西兰音乐奖的“最佳另类艺术家”称号，而《Ideal Home Noise》则让她和其合作者/制作人 Ben Lemi 在今年早些时候捧回了Taite音乐奖。
在新西兰时，Vera和她的乐队为Fazerdaze、Marlon Williams、Cate Le Bon、The Beths等艺人开场，并在最近与 Voom 和 Reb Fountain 一起巡演。
Vera Ellen乐队将于今年10月首次为中国带来她们的精彩演出。
Vera Ellen is an expert when it comes to concise songwriting; every note and beat is exactly the required dose. Her albums are full of hooked-to-the-brim melodies, and guided by Vera’s clear, confident, and relaxed vocal presence.
First emerged playing in bands Maple Syrup and Sweater. After relocating to Los Angeles, she started the band Girl Friday, whose music debuted on indie giant Sub Pop’s sub-label, Hardly Art.
Since returning to New Zealand, Vera Ellen has released It’s Your Birthdayand Ideal Home Noiseon Flying Nun Records, winning Best Alternative Artist at the Aotearoa Music Awards, as well as the Taite Music Prize.
Vera is generally either recording, touring, rehearsing, writing, drawing, hanging, working at a record shop in Wellington, or a combination in flight.
China Lineup:
Vera Ellen (vox/guitar)
Ben Lemi (drums/production)
Bella Guarerra (synth/vox/percs)

Kristen. 老K. 刀刀, 刀姐, 刀哥, 新西兰牛肉腿, et al. Kaishandao 开山刀 是永远活跃在成都音乐场景里的符号。不论是在成都社区电台 cdcr.live 直播间的控制室里按按钮，还是以 Kiwese奇异思的名义给奇奇怪怪的乐队做巡演，还是在舞池的左前方打卡，她感染人的能量最终汇聚成了自己独特、新鲜的声音——生于摇滚舞池，养于电子音乐。

Ludus是来自新西兰的DJ、制作人和作曲家。作为新西兰俱乐部场景中的一位中坚人物和电子打击乐二人组BIRDPARTY的主唱，她高能量、跨越流派的声音活跃在汗水涟涟的舞池与台前，以其律动、弹跳和出其不意的风格著称。
被Ensemble杂志评为“新西兰DJ女王”之一的她曾与Kevin Saunderson和Pitch Black等知名艺人同台演出，并在Twisted Frequency、Outfield和Cuba Dupa等深受喜爱的音乐节上表演。她的首张专辑《Two of the Same》由惠灵顿电子音乐厂牌Strange Behaviour发行。
DJ, producer and composer from NZ. A firm fixture in the Aotearoa club scene and frontwoman of electro-thrash duo BIRDPARTY, her high-energy, genre-bending sound can be found across dancefloors and moshpits alike — known for groove, bounce and a knack for the unexpected.
常驻惠灵顿的声音工程师Rizzo热爱在她能找到的任何时机在DJ混音台后放飞自我。她如魔术师一般，从各种音乐中汲取灵感，让每场演出的环境来决定她的曲目。虽然Techno和Acid是她当下表演的主打，但你仍然可以期待从粗糙扭曲的音景到泡泡糖电子舞曲的各种曲风。让我们一起跳舞吧！
Wellington-based sound engineer who loves to let loose behind a DJ mixer whenever she gets the chance. Pulling from a mixed bag, environment informs the gig. While techno and acid have become mainstays in her sets, you can expect anything from gnarled soundscapes to bubblegum trance. △
Mysterious glamour. Tour debut.Hydralicious mana wahine. Majestic marinations and/or YouTube rips. A woman's place is behind the decks.
黎明潜水（Dawn Diver）是来自新西兰惠灵顿（Te Whanganui-a-Tara）的多乐器演奏家兼唱片制作人本·雷米（Ben Lemi）的音乐化身。他的音乐融合了实验之声、跳跃节奏和超强旋律感。
Dawn Diver is the aural realisation of Ben Lemi, multi-instrumentalist and record producer from Te Whanganui a Tara, Aotearoa. The music of Dawn Diver is a unification of sonic experimentation, rhythmic glitch, and hyper melodic sensibility.
