Hedgehog

There Are At Least Two Artists Under This Name. #1 An Indie Band From Beijing China Hedgehog / 刺猬 Like Many Of The Best Bands In Beijing Was Founded In The Miracle Years Of 2004-2005 In January 2005 Specifically. For Some Inexplicable Reason They Didn’t Seem To Make Much Of An Impact Early On But We First Met Them When They Played A Series Of Concerts At D22 In Late 2006 During Which Time They Very Quickly Became One Of The Favorite Bands. In Late April 2007 They Performed A Concert That Smashed The Sound Barriers And Created Such An Uproar That Within A Month They Had Catapulted Into Position As One Of The Most Talked About Underground Bands In China. Hugely Popular With Both Musical Hipsters For The Brilliance Of Their Compositions And Performances And With Rock And Roll Party Animals For Their Wild Out Of Control Pop Frenzy Hedgehog’s Music Is Totally Approachable And Totally Unique. Percussionist And Vocalist Atom 阿童木 Is A Tiny Girl Who Just Barely Peeps Over The Top Of Her Drum Kit But Who Bangs Out Explosive Rhythms Like A Monster Possessed. Bassist Box 博宣 The Person Responsible For Keeping The Band In Line Punches Out The Tight Bass Lines That Hold The Songs Together While Seeming Lost In Oblivion. Guitarist And Vocalist ZO 子健 Slashes Out Huge Waves Of Chords That Seemed To Fit Perfectly Within The Songs Yet At The Same Time Tear Them Apart -- While Jumping Twirling Staggering And Even Falling Over Several Times During His Performances Without Letting Up For The Slightest Pause. Hedgehog Is A Classic Power Trio With Three Of The Best Performers In Beijing On Their Respective Instruments But It Is Their Song-Writing Skills That Make This Band More Than Just A Great Performance Band And One Of The Most Important In China. #2 A 90's Post-Hardcore / Jazz / Funk Band From Santa Cruz California Their Discography Http //www.Pjdmusic.Com/hedgehog/hogcat.Html Their Myspace Http //www.Myspace.Com/hedgehogspace read less
