CHARACTERISTICS
作为一个年过半百的“爷爷辈”,他却是个老顽童,一直保持着花衬衫、光着脚表演的习惯。
BIOGRAPHY
Fatboy Slim是Norman Cook的艺名,照他自己的说法,他的艺名代表着“年轻”、“现在”和“滑稽”。Cook出生于英国布罗姆利。在良好的中产阶级家庭环境下,他从父母的唱片收藏中接触到了音乐。22岁时,他与校友搞了一个独立摇滚乐队The Housemartins,并在其中担任贝斯手。
虽然说乐队组了没多长时间就解散了,但还是凭借着一首“Caravan of Love”获得了当时英国排名第一的单曲。之后Cook凭借“Dub Be Good to Me”又一次引起轰动,该专辑获得1990年英国第七畅销的专辑。
1996年,他正式采用了Fatboy Slim这个名字,并相继发行了“Better Living Through Chemistry”, “You‘ve Come a Long Way, Baby”, “Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars”等专辑,其中,“The Rockafeller Skank”, “Praise You”, “Right Here Right Now”, 和 “Weapon of Choice”等单曲获得了业界好评和商业上的成功。
他绝不是一个流水线工人般,思想古板的电子压模器,他可以用独到的手法释放、酝酿或提炼出每首歌性格化的情调来。
Fatboy Slim - A Symphony of British Music: Music for the Closing Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games
“The Rockafeller Skank”在鼓程的咆哮怒吼里一点都不缺乏心机与智慧,结结巴巴、欲言还休的戏剧化音乐编排,在实验的手法里仍没有脱离流行悦耳的大本营,其中那段长得令人尴尬的噪音就象卓别林“不慎”滑落的裤子,唐突、滑稽但赏心悦目。
Fatboy Slim登过的国际舞台不胜枚举,Glastonbury Festival,Global Gathering festival,Fatboy Slim’s Big Beach Boutique,O2 Wireless Festival and Rockness Festival,Coachella Valley Music Festival,FIFA World Cup music festival,Neapolis Festival,Detroit‘s Movement Electronic Music Festival,Ultra Music Festival, Wavefront Music Festival, Exit Festival, Bestival……甚至在2012年夏季奥运会闭幕式登台表演了大家熟知的The Rockafeller Skank和“Funk Soul Brother”。
他获得荣誉无数,被授予布莱顿的星光大道明星;被Q杂志评选进“50个有生之前一定不能错过的乐队” 名单之中……而他此次重返Night Club, 地点就在Myst!如此听一场少一场的DJ表演,相信你一定不愿错过!
