王悦(gia)前女子摇滚乐队Hang on the box 主唱,艺术家。被《Timeout》杂志列入自改革开放以来对中国城市文化改变最大的40位城市英雄之一。早在1999年两度作为中国第一代朋克女孩登上美国《Newsweek》杂志封面,作为中国新女孩的代表与毛泽东和尼克松同时出现。 MS China punk-gia Whatever you think of gia's music,the former Hang on the box frontwomen is the one who brought Beijing punk to the world. When Hang on the box formed in 1998,few outside China had any idea of Beiing's thriving punk scene.A year later,gia and her band were pouting on the cover of Newsweek,the only Chinese band ever to do so,and the secret was out.Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins,Marilyn Manson and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs all pronounced themselves fans, and soon no one could get enough of the band's brash bitch-pop.Ten years on,gia's still going strong,DJing and playing with new band gilr kill girl.If some would argue that her music hasnot moved on much,she's still a joy to watch in a city where a lot of band seem to be make up of uni-versity geeks trying to be Joy Division.And while she's fond of giving regular one-finger salutes,she was extraordinarily sweet and patient when our shoot was delayed. 无论你对王悦的音乐持何种态度,这位“挂在盒子上”乐队的女主唱却是真正将北京朋克摇滚乐推向世界的旗手,当这支全女子朋克乐队于1998年成军时,世界对北京朋克音乐的了解几乎是一张白纸。一年后,王悦和她的乐队,骄傲地登上了新闻周刊的封面,顺便说一句,没有其他任何一支中国摇滚乐队获得过这样的待遇。她们的粉丝甚至包括了玛丽莲•曼森,碎瓜乐队的比利•柯根和yeah yeah yeah乐队,很快,乐迷沉迷于挂在盒子上乐队独特,尖锐的音乐风格。十年后,王悦仍然在自己的音乐世界中努力开拓,组建了自己的新乐队女杀女,也许,有人会争辩说,她的音乐是在原地踏步,仅仅是在一个拥有许多梦想成为joy division乐队再版的校园边缘青年的城市中,一个略微带有趣味的问题儿童,然而当她在 们的镜头前撅起嘴唇,举起一个手指做出她标志性的敬礼动作时,却显示出无比的坚韧与甜蜜。
