★★★★ 活動介紹 | ABOUT THE PARTY ★★★★
To celebrate Urban Nomad’s 15th year, we’re throwing a serious ho-down in the mountains, because if the venue had a roof, we would blow that sucker off! We’re preparing two stages, seven bands, six DJs and special roaming “Carnival of Delights” of freaky individuals curated by our friends at Red Room. There will also be food, beer and tasty cocktails.
Bands include funk, reggae, an aboriginal psych rock band from Taidong called Outlet Drift, and the return of an insanely good Japanese band who are Fuji Rock festival veterans, electro-rockers Mop of Head. The DJ zone will be in a former Taoist temple, which Marcus Aurelius will convert it into a rump-shakin’ party shack.
The venue, Tiger Mountain, is a gorgeous mountain retreat that feels like it’s hours away from the city, but it’s really only 20 minutes walk from the MRT. Kids and well-behaved dogs are absolutely welcome. This mountain jam is the beginning of Urban Nomad’s events for 2016, which will culminate in the film festival at the Wonderful Theater in Ximen from May 12-22. We’re gonna start it all off with this gigantic party. Hope to see you there!
★★★★ BANDS & DJs ★★★★
MOP OF HEAD (日本)
Mop of Head, formed in 2006, bring together breakbeats, dubstep, drum ‘n’ bass, house and other dance music performed live as a four-piece rock band. They have played Japan’s largest festivals, including Fuji Rock, Rock in Japan, and Japan’s biggest year end live event Countdown Japan. They’ve also performed with international bands including Digitalism (Ger), Teeth (UK), Go Chic and others. Mop of Head frontman George, as a DJ, has opened at Tokyo’s Womb for Skrillex and Boys Noize, playing together as Dog’s Blood. Bass player Hitomi Kuramochi recently backed Korean R&B idol SE7EN on his tour of Japan.
Mop of Head was picked up early by BBC Radio 1 DJ Gilles Peterson, who played them often on his show “World Wide” as well as Taku Takahashi of the Japanese rap group, M-flo, who played them on Internet radio station TCY Radio. In 2015, Mop of Head released their third album, Vitalize. The sixth song, “Dave”, is named after Urban Nomad’s curator. You can ask them why. They still haven’t told me.
