Band:Grand Avenue 格兰大道
Nationality: Denmark 丹麦
Established Time: 2001 2001年
Style: Rock摇滚
Since Grand Avenue started six years ago, the guys have composed lots of popular songs, and earned "Danish Music Award" nomination twice. In fact, this band with reputation of new Coldplay sounds like "Coldplay" only when they play slow songs. Indeed, the frontman Rasmus's voice is somewhat like Chris Martin's. But more often, the shock rock style revealed by Grand Avenue may remind us of the Sound of the English band (Band Sound)'s more refreshing style.
The story of Grand Avenue is just a story about four young music talents who take music as partner everyday. The band is composed of Rasmus Aalter Hanson (front-man and composer), Niels kristia brentzen (guitarist), Marc Btebbing (bassist) and Halte Thygesen (drummer). Their daily life is filled with music, music and music .
However, the four boys had been good friends before the band was founded. Nielskristian and Marc are buddies growing up together. And NielsKristian met Rasmus at school in 1997, at the same time Marc came across Halte at another school. Later, the four guys got together in London, with their admission of London Music College. They spent most of the time in school and even spare time talking about music together, whereas they finished their music classes respectively until graduation to return to Denmark and began to perform formally together. Rasmus joined the band when he was in London, and gained recognition of leading record companies. But after the experience of four years' big talk and promise breaking, he went to his hometown Copenhagen in 2001. Upon arriving in the land of Denmark, Rasmus got connected with Niels immediately. Then Rasmus began to compose songs, which he had never had chance to create when he was in London. Shortly after, Marc and Halte joined in, then the Grand Avenue was born.
The main composer of Grand Avenue is Rasmus, whose unique voice makes their music different from classic Danish music. He has a deep strong and full of connotation voice. The more you listen to it, the more appeal you can get from. And it is rather surpassing compared with other bands' frontmen. In addition, Niels' creative guitar performance and solid teamwork of Halte, all of these make their band sound distinctive.
Since 2003 Denmark Grand Avenue issued its first album Grand Avenue, which named after its namesake the film Grand Avenue directed by famous America director Daniel, depend on their unique stage performances skill and distinctive style of music, they have received a lot of prestige and accomplishments in rock field. During this four years, they released album She and the brand-new Outside World of this year ,and six single records, like Take It As It Comes,This Is Not An End,On Your Sidehave all gained great success. Among those, three single records Unhappy With A Street, After The Rain and What's On Your Mind gained them two Danish best music nomination.
The phrase ofGrand Avenue"meet before ten"has become those boys' habit, and it's also the necessary acceleration to release their third album Outside world. As a band with worldwide reputation, there is no other way to make it. Their new album follows previous style while Rasmus keeps his unique voice as always and more expectation may be mixed in.
◆Interview:
★Q: Why your band is named Grand Avenue?
★Rasmus: Grand Avenue means a broad road. Our music is such a carrier of the style: freedom, wide space, Vacant.
★Q: Would you please talk something about your comprehension of Chinese music?
★Rasmus: I've heard of Lang Lang's piano recital long time ago. And I have particular concern about the Asian singers of EMI —Tao Zhe, Flowers band, Justin and so on, thinking that they have very good sense of music. Especially Tao Zhe, his music is done similarly with foreign music, it can be said that his style is created in accordance with the international needs. And it's closer to international standards and the requirements of the audience.
★Q: Well, are you considering adding theChinese styleinto your next album?
★Rasmus: We are very interested in China's erhu, so we don't rule out the possibility of Chinese element's accession.
来自丹麦的4人乐队格兰大道6年来,创造了多首热门流行歌曲,并两次获得“丹麦音乐大奖”提名。被誉为新版酷玩儿乐队的他们其实只在演奏慢歌时跟“酷玩儿”相近,当然主唱拉斯姆斯的声线确实有点像克里斯·马丁。但更多时候,格兰大道所展现的摇滚风格都会令人想起更爽劲的英伦乐队之声的风格。
格兰大道的故事其实就是每天都与音乐为伍的4个丹麦音乐才俊的故事。拉斯姆斯·沃尔特·汉森是乐队的主唱与词曲创作者,尼尔斯·克里斯蒂安·拜伦岑是吉他手,马克·班德宾是贝斯手,哈特·泰格森则是鼓手。他们的整个生活,除了音乐,还是音乐。
但早在乐队成立之前,4个小伙子就已经是非常要好的朋友了。尼尔斯·克里斯蒂安和马克是从小一起长大的铁哥们。1997年的一天,尼尔斯·克里斯蒂安在学校遇到了拉斯姆斯,碰巧,在同一时间,马克在另一所学校遇到了哈特。后来,4人终于在伦敦见面了,他们都考入了伦敦音乐学院。音乐成了他们在学校,甚至课余生活的主要话题。但是在校期间,他们各自学习音乐,直到毕业后回到丹麦,4个人才正式在一起表演。拉斯姆斯在伦敦期间曾加入乐队,并且得到了主流音乐厂牌的青睐,但是在经历了4年不断的空谈与背信后,他于2001年返回了自己的家乡哥本哈根。一踏上丹麦的土地,拉斯姆斯便立即联络了尼尔斯,开始着手创作那些他在伦敦永远也不会有机会创作的歌曲。不久后,马克和哈特加入,格兰大道就此成型。
乐队以拉斯姆斯的创作为主,他们独特的声音与典型的丹麦音乐有所不同。他的声音很有力并富有质感,越听越具感染力,与其他乐队主唱的声音很不同。尼尔斯·克里斯蒂安极富创造力的吉他演奏加之马克与哈特坚实的迎合,使他们听起来与众不同。
与美国著名导演丹尼尔·萨奇姆指导的影片《格兰大道情仇录》同名的丹麦乐队格兰大道自2003年发表首张大碟《格兰大道》开始,凭借他们独特的舞台表演功力以及与众不同的音乐风格,在摇滚乐坛获得了不小的声望与成绩,4年时间里,又相继成功发行了专辑《她》与今年全新的大碟《外面的世界》,和Take It As It Comes, ThisIs Not An End, On Your Side等6张单曲唱片。其中Unhappy With A Secret, After The Rain和What's On Your Mind 3支单曲更是为乐队带来了两项丹麦最佳音乐提名。
格兰大道的口头禅“早上10点前见”成了这几个月来的一种习惯,也是催生第3张专辑《外面的世界》的必要条件。作为一个有着国际声誉的原创乐队,没有别的办法可以做到。这张专辑仍然延续了乐队以往的音乐风格,拉斯姆斯的声音一如既往的独特,或许增添了更多的希望。
◆访谈:
★问:为什么乐队会取名“格兰大道”呢?
★拉斯姆斯:“格兰大道”的意思是广阔的大道,我们的音乐也是秉承着这样的风格:自由、大气、空灵。
★问:请谈谈对中国音乐的理解好吗?
★拉斯姆斯:我们早就听过郎朗的钢琴演奏,而且特别关注同公司EMI门下的亚洲区歌手,知道陶喆、花儿乐队、侧田等,觉得他们都很有乐感。尤其是陶喆,他创作的音乐和国外的音乐很接近,可以说他的风格都是应着国际需要而创作的,更贴近国际水平和观众的审美要求。
★问:那么你们的下一张专辑是否会考虑加入 中国风 呢?
★拉斯姆斯:我们对中国的二胡很感兴趣,不排除融入中国的元素。

the phrase of... 口头禅
能说会用
Their daily life is filled with music, music and music.
句中连用了3个“music”加重语气,起强调作用。意思是“音乐便是他们每天的生活。”,“他们的生活除了音乐还是音乐。”
如果想强调所说的话,用这种说法能取得很好的效果,比如我们可以说:I need food, food and food.

中国风:从《龙拳》《东风破》到《发如雪》《千里之外》,周杰伦引领了音乐中国风的新纪元,华语乐坛不再一味模仿欧美日韩的流行音乐,如今,中国风大行其道,风靡乐坛。中国风歌曲多采用“宫调式”的主旋律(五音调式是我国特有的民族调式,五音:宫、徽、商、羽、角,以宫音为主音的调式称为“宫调式”);在音乐的编曲上大量运用中国乐器:如二胡、古筝、萧、琵琶等;唱腔上运用中国民歌或戏曲方式;题材上运用中国的古诗或者传说故事。
