Black Cat Bone 黑猫骨

A bad-ass blues experience

特地道的布鲁斯乐队

Dark crowded room. Hot sweaty dancers. Crowd swaying to the rhythm. You know as soon as you walk in the door something is happening. This is a scene. This is a party. You get yourself a drink and push through to the front of the room. The rhythm is pounding. The singer is growling. The songs are about things that happen in your life. This is hard nosed. This is REAL. This is BLACK CAT BONE.

黑猫骨乐队以其硬朗、刚劲、顽强、一往无前的音乐风格而著称，他们在原生态蓝调音乐的感性之中加入了摇滚、芬克（funk）、节奏布鲁斯（R&B）的元素，从而创造出了一种融合了传统与现代、时尚与永恒的全新音乐。

蓝调音乐又称布鲁斯音乐。在当今纷繁多变的世界乐坛上，历史悠久的蓝调音乐之所以仍然能占有一席之地，原因就在于这种音乐扎根于人们真实的生存体验之中。在表现欢乐与幸福的同时，蓝调音乐也关注着芸芸众生所经历的愤怒、挫折、绝望、和孤独。无论是胜利、绝望，还是爱情、得失，人们都可以在蓝调音乐中找到自己的精神慰籍。而且，蓝调音乐在抚慰人们心灵的过程中又帮助人们在曼妙的舞蹈节奏中重新在心中激起希望和欢乐。蓝调音乐的这种特质把创作者和演奏者与音乐本身结合在一起，吸引着不同年龄、不同阶层的听众。这就是蓝调音乐的力量和魅力之所在。

BLACK CAT BONE delights and excites audiences in Beijing and throughout China with their own special brand of party music. Mixing traditional blues with R&B, funk, and rock, they produce compelling irresistible party music. The kind of music you want. The kind of music you need. The kind of music you don’t want to miss.

Above all, BLACK CAT BONE loves to party...and loves its audience to party. To quote one reviewer: "P.J. O'Rourke called asia 'the continent that rhythm forgot'. Black Cat Bone is trying to prove him wrong."

Based in Beijing, BLACK CAT BONE has performed around the capital and throughout the country at both live venues (Yu Gong Yi Shan, Dos Kolegas, Icehouse, La Luna and more) and at events for corporate (BMW, Lenovo, Gibson Guitars and more) and private clients.

黑猫骨乐队的音乐风格多样，既有严肃思考，又有游戏人生，让你在舞蹈中思考生活，在欢乐中注目于悲伤。通过他们无法抗拒的舞蹈节奏，深情哀婉的口琴乐曲，动人心魄的吉他演奏，和质朴无华的人声演绎，黑猫骨乐队坚定不移地执行着他们的使命－把独一无二的音乐体验带给听众。

狂欢聚会是黑猫骨乐队钟爱的主题，他们希望通过音乐让听众都加入到派对中来。一位乐评人曾这样写道：“P.J. O'Rourke曾把亚洲称为‘被节奏音乐所遗忘的大陆’，黑猫骨乐队的努力将证明P.J. O'Rourke这句话的错误”。

乐手都有好几年的国外、国内乐队的经验。“黑猫骨”乐队已经参与了很多种类的演出，如：在大牌公司的活动（Gibson吉他、宝马汽车、联想、许多北京的房地产公司）；在北京、青岛、上海、杭州酒吧和俱乐部（愚公移山、Icehouse 库冰、Cheers、两个好朋友、JZ、4 Live、等等），在私人的活动（包括婚礼）。不管是什么样的活动，“黑猫骨”乐队都会营造一个热闹的气氛。
