New Pants are among the brightest, original and most adventurous artists operating in China today. The band was formed in 1997. With their distinctive taste of retro, New Pants has been standing in the most forward position of the music, art and fashion fields in China for all these years. In their early days they were influenced by New-Wave and Old-school Punk especially the Ramones and New Order, but in recent years their sound and style has tended toward 80s disco and electro, which combined with their eye-catching stage presence, marks them as vibrant, original fish in the over-crowded pond of the Chinese music scene.

新裤子乐队是现今中国最耀眼、最别具一格、也是最具冒险精神的偶像摇滚乐队。

乐队成立于1997年，至今共发行6张专辑。多年来，新裤子带着他们独具一格的复古情怀，始终站在潮流的风口浪尖，以“新裤子体系”美学引领了中国时尚文化的发展。早期的新裤子乐队深受新浪潮以及old－school punk音乐风格影响，近年来，乐队的音乐则更趋近于80年代的电子音乐风格，他们热衷于充满怀旧色彩的东方元素，怪力乱神的惊艳舞台表现力是任何中国乐队无法复制的。

新裤子成为了多产的中国摇滚乐坛里最具艺术创造活力的乐队，并成功的走出了中国，走向了更为开阔的世界。

Go Chic Vocal: 郑思齐ARIEL / Bass: 温一珊SARAH / Synth/Guitar: 赖思匀SONIA / Drums: 李昀聪WINSTON

成立于2007年的Go chic以其独特的electro punk风格快速在台湾Indie Rock圈走红，拿着大喇叭的主唱冲撞人群，合成器女子拿着手中的空酒瓶，在台上公然茫掉或大飙脏话；20多岁的派对女孩们很凶悍热血，被诸多国外知名摇滚乐队大力推荐的她们看来似乎并不肤浅。2010年的首张新专辑《I’m confused!!》所给予人的聆听体验并不止乐队官网上描述的“Electro-Hyphy-Chiks Hybridized Punk-Blues-Rock”那么简单。其中大玩8-Bit电子声效的作品回应了近年来以Crystal Castles为首的8-Bit Thrash风潮。踏着Disco-Funk步伐前进的'Dance With Her'是趋近DFA式Disco-Punk风骨的一次示范，还有堪称专辑中最“阳光”的'We Are All Lovers & Runners ‘则蕴含了流丽的80s New Wave气息而来。

另一方面，透过主唱Ariel那结合了Princees Superstar般Rappin'演绎与Shirley Manson(Garbage)般魅惑特质的嗓音，一首首歌曲所散发出的青春无敌、初生之犊气息让人想到的是Pre-Britpop时期以New Wave Of New Wave风潮领导者姿态崛起的Elastica，而很多时候作品所蕴含的破坏爆裂能量相信已足以媲美曾几何时的一众Riot Girrrl乐团!!! 此外特别要提的是Go Chic对于舞池化Groove的精准掌握，成功地让粗犷不修边幅的Garage-Rock/Punk吉他音浪与跳脱的电子节拍推进共冶一炉，正好回应了她们官方英文Bio上第一句Slogan那开宗明义的宣告: “FUCK SAD SONGS AND SLOW JAMS, THIS IS GO CHIC!!!!!”

Go Chic is an dance/pop/punk/electro group which started in Taipei around 2007, current members are Sonia Lai, Ariel Zheng , Sarah Wen. This new band hit the scene with brightly colored tights and short shorts, laughing and joking with the crowd as they pumped out raw, catchy, dance-electro, coveted place as one of Nike’s 10 top Taiwanese bands for the company’s NIKE SPORTSWEAR NIGHT PARTY and has played SXSW Festival 2010. They’ve played with such notable acts as Peaches(CA), Vicarious Bliss(Ed Banger FR), Dandi Wind(CA), Shitdisco(Dim Mak UK), Death Is Not My Aim(JP), etc. And is currently active in Taiwan playing various festivals and venues.

能猫商店／NengMao Store 2007年10月，能猫商店诞生。能猫商店的名字灵感来源于喜喜小学作文的一次错别字。在喜喜看来，这是一个可爱的错误。

能猫商店一直关注于中国80年代—90年代这段时间的文化。旗下所属产品均保留了许多这个时代的印记。2007年12月，第一家以怀旧为主题的能猫商店在上海开业，颇受好评。各文化、时尚、潮流杂志对能猫商店专题报道。同时期，能猫商店服饰类产品在北京，成都，和重庆的潮流店发售，深受大家喜爱。

The name “Neng Mao”was one tiny misspelling of Panda in Chinese, which I made in elementary school. It always reminds me how silly but sweet childhood is. Now I make this little creature to life, hope to recall the “Growing Happiness” among us all. China in the 80’s was a short, delicate and special era for us all, especially for the kids who were born during that period. nengmao is trying to follow the paths of the sweet memories of the past that we all shared: they might recall us of the old bicycles, the disco leggings, and the track suits that we’ve been wearing in school. I have always been interested in chinese culture between the 80-90’s, thus a lof of the design i made for nengmao has a trace of that time. Since 2007, the successful launching of the first nengmao store in shanghai, we are now also opened in Beijing, Chongqing, Chengdu, Taiyuan as well.
