Fischerspooner

國(guó)籍：美國(guó)

團(tuán)員組成：Warren Fischer，Casey Spooner

團(tuán)員人數(shù)：2

他們是1998年在紐約成立的一個(gè)組合 這個(gè)組合以“新浪潮”和“電子舞曲”相結(jié)合的曲風(fēng)聞名 Fischerspooner取自2位創(chuàng)始人（Warren Fischer和 Casey Spooner）的姓 使用現(xiàn)代的方法編排，F(xiàn)ischerspooner把“流行電音”推上時(shí)代的潮流的尖峰. 這個(gè)組合最開始有Warre搜索n和Casey組成，慢慢的團(tuán)隊(duì)成員發(fā)展超過20個(gè)，他們中的大多數(shù)都是舞者出身或者是特邀歌唱家。

小2002年，F(xiàn)ischerspooner發(fā)表新專輯#1在英國(guó)引起了不小的轟動(dòng)，NEM稱他們?yōu)椤癟he best thing to happen to music since electricity”，各個(gè)媒體的報(bào)道更是鋪天蓋地，英國(guó)BBC的“Top of the Pops”下的子欄目“Emerge”也做了一期他們的專訪。

5月份，在紐約的Deitch Projects Gallery俱樂部度過了三個(gè)不眠的狂歡之夜以后，F(xiàn)ischerspooner開始為他們新一輪的巡演做準(zhǔn)備——被重新剪輯過的錄影帶，重新編配過的舞蹈，更多的人造雪，更眩目的燈光以及在優(yōu)美的旋律中隱藏險(xiǎn)惡用心的全新單曲“L.A. Song”。

一星期之后，他們登上了去英國(guó)的飛機(jī)。而兩星期以后，他們得到David Bowie的邀請(qǐng)，參加在倫敦Royal Festival Hall舉行的Bowie-curated Meltdown音樂節(jié)。倫敦這個(gè)以交響樂聞名的英國(guó)傳統(tǒng)音樂重鎮(zhèn)，被Fischerspooner的音樂徹底顛覆——Casey在舞臺(tái)上不斷的翻滾并頻頻的沖向人群，煙火的使用也突破了常規(guī)的極限，那些持反對(duì)意見的人被拉上舞臺(tái)，然后被Casey羞辱一番，這一舉動(dòng)，使得象Boy George這樣的Fischerspooner樂迷愈加的興高采烈。

2003年2月25日，Capitol Records將發(fā)行#1的歐洲版本，其中包括了一些附加的重混版本和DVD版的“Emerge”、“The 15th”、“Sweetness”的音樂錄影帶，記錄他們現(xiàn)場(chǎng)演出的記錄片也將在不久之后發(fā)行。#1今年終于在各大唱片公司的撕殺后落戶CAPITOL在北美上市。而且內(nèi)容翻倍，CD有3首新歌，附送的DVD有MV，記錄片，N首Emerge的REMIX，現(xiàn)場(chǎng)投影背景等等。。。如果你看到了這個(gè)版本的原盤，千萬不能手軟，或者把那張DVD拿下。他們不僅僅是個(gè)樂隊(duì)，而是一個(gè)藝術(shù)團(tuán)體，演出陣容十分強(qiáng)大，華麗。MV中可見一斑。

The new wave/electro-pop troupe Fischerspooner was formed in New York City in 1998 and has come to incorporate multimedia, strange handmade costumes, dancing, and performance art. Originally a duo formed by classically trained musician Warren Fischer and video-artist and experimental theater performer Casey Spooner for an impromptu rendition of their makeshift track "Indian Cab Fever" at the Astor Place Starbucks, the group grew to over 20 performers, mostly dancers and guest vocalists. These singers have included Cindy Greene, Lizzy Yoder (also of Sweet Thunder), and Korean pop recording artist Mona Trona. The group uses the stage antics of David Bowie and traditional mainstream pop vocalists, along with the campy electronics of Giorgio Moroder or Depeche Mode and vocoders of Trans Am. By the time of their 2000 eponymous debut, Fischerspooner was a certifiable sensation in downtown New York City art galleries and clubs. The single "Emerge" topped European charts, invited a six-song remix EP, and won Fischer and Spooner invitations to international fashion, art, and society happenings. The 2002 album #1 was a re-envisioning of their debut with yet another mix of "Emerge," this time more sedate and electro, following the trend of the times. The duo returned in 2005 with their second album, Odyssey. Hitmaker Linda Perry, intellectual Susan Sontag, and Madonna producer Mirwais all made appearances.
