Farm | zh

　　来自南加州的摇滚劲旅Alien Ant Farm由主唱兼词曲创作主力Dryden Mitchell、吉他手Terry Corso、贝斯手Tye Zamora及鼓手Mike Cosgrove于1995年组成。滚石杂志推崇主唱Mitchell的优越嗓音以及诠释歌曲时的深邃情感,是摇滚乐界自Queen/皇后合唱团主唱Freddie Mercury之后就难得一见的。 　　这是一队传奇人物，乐队开始自制了一张叫 “Greatest Hits”的专辑。这张专辑为他们嬴得洛杉矶音乐年奖最佳独立大碟。 　　2000年，他们被Papa Roach(蟑螂老爹)看中，签约DreamWorks SKG，发行第一张录音室专辑“ANThology”，之后于2001年开始巡演。同年Alien Ant Farm翻唱了Michael Jackson的金曲“Smooth Criminal”，雄霸阿澳洲现代摇滚榜4周冠军，英伦排行榜季军。 　　2002年5月的一场车祸，使得主音Dryden脊椎骨折，不过他还是很快恢复并开始录制新专辑“truANT”。2003年这张专辑发行并取得了不错的成绩，然而在这之后不久他们的东家DreamWorks SKG就关门大吉了。 同年十月，吉他手Terry Corso离队并加入了Powerman 5000乐队，Joe Hill取而代之。 　　2004年环球唱片买下了DreamWorks的厂牌，并将Alien Ant Farm并入到环球旗下的Geffen厂牌。2005年，乐队开始录制他们的新专辑，然而他们的新东家去迟迟不肯发行这张唱片。于是Alien Ant Farm作了一件胆大包天的事儿，未经授权私自发行了一张被歌迷称作“3rd Draft”的专辑。 　　2005年底，Geffen终于同意乐队以另一家环球厂牌Universal Music Enterprises发行新专辑。06年4月，贝斯手Tye Zamora决定入大学念书，Alex Barreto取而代之。2006年6月29日，乐队在G4's Attack of the Show上表演；7月26日，名为“Up In The Attic”的专辑以及他们首部具历史意义的DVD “BUSted”在全球发行。 　　2008年，乐队又发行了名为“The Best Of Alien Ant Farm 20th Century Masters The Millennium Collection”的专辑。 　　乐队主音 Dryden Mitchell 虽没有一把很独特的声音，但是他申诉出足以激动人心的歌曲，可媲美 Mariah Carey。 　　当前成员： 　　Dryden Mitchell – lead vocals, rhythm guitar, acoustic guitar (1995–present) 　　Terry Corso – lead guitar, backing vocals (1995–2003, 2008–present) 　　Tye Zamora – bass, piano, kalimba, backing vocals (1995–2006, 2008–present) 　　Mike Cosgrove – drums, percussion (1995–present) 　　曾经成员： 　　Joe...

Llama Farmers sprung into existence in a school classroom in Greenwich, London sometime in 1996. Friends William Briggs and Brooke Rogers, bored of algebra, asked the 14 year old Jennie Simpson to join them on bass in their then nameless band. On her first rehearsal Jennie brought along her older brother, Bernie Simpson, for moral support but by the end of the rehearsal he too had been recruited on guitar and vocals. A Chilean friend at school, who the band had nicknamed ’Llama Farmer’, gave them their somewhat unusual (and slightly racist) monicker. After only a handful of gigs in...

Cody is a folk-singer’s folk-singer and a poet’s poet. He was born and bred in Delavan IL, population 25, surrounded by the endless skies of the American Midwest. Before moving to Chicago in 2003, Cody tried his hand at sessions in Nashville and carefully hewed and tested his art in college town bars and honky-tonks around the Midwest. He now plays regularly in the city and it’s not uncommon to see whole rooms full of strangers erupt and sing along to the choruses of his songs on their first listen (I’ve seen it happen). Cody’s voice is powerful and gritty,...

Farm was a late '60s band from Southern Illinois, whose bluesy, country rock style was very similar of that of The Allman Brothers, and Canned Heat. In fact, Farm did an excellent version of the The Allman Brothers' "Statesboro Blues", which is featured on their first and only album, and opened for some big name acts of the day such as Canned Heat. Farm so impressed Canned Heat's manager at the time, he offered to represent them, but the band turned him down.
