Recently, the Excuse Me band held a two-day birthday special performance in Beijing, which achieved great box office results and all tickets for the two-day performance were sold out. This is not only the best birthday gift given by the band members to the band, but also a special gift to the fans who love the band.
Before the performance started, there was already a buzz of people outside the venue. Many music fans came from all over the country just to celebrate the birthday of this treasure band in headphones. The nearly two-hour performance was carefully choreographed, making the entire performance present a complete and exquisite effect. The on-site effect almost reached the ultimate level of LIVEHOUSE venue performance. Many fans reported: "This is the most exciting live performance I have seen this year! It is a close-to-concert-level viewing experience, so enjoyable!"
In the past nine years, the Excuse Me Band has released a total of four original albums The studio albums are "EXIT", "No One Is Entering", "Come
On" and "Purge". Chen Shenglun said that they like to make albums because they can collect many emotions together and use one name to represent the state at that time.
Q: What clever strategies did the orchestra adopt during the preparation stage for the performance?
Chen Shenglun: In fact, the set list of each performance is finalized before the performance starts. This uncertainty requires each of our members to maintain a high level of focus and commitment. During the pitch and rehearsal stage, we will rehearse every detail, because the arrangement of each song needs to be meticulous. The fans' feedback and recognition of us makes us feel more pressure. We must live up to their trust and go all out to perform better at the venue.
asked: What are the band’s next development plans?
Chen Shenglun: Ever since we released our first album in 2015, the band’s plan for Excuse Me has been very clear. Touring has become a daily routine for us and we really enjoy meeting friends who like us in each city. The experience of touring also gave me more inspiration. The theme of this year's tour is "Black Romance", and we will present a lot of new content, including new songs, new looks, new arrangements, etc. We hope that everyone can come to the scene and feel and experience these new contents for yourself. In addition to touring, we will also continue to create music. We believe that creation is an important part of the band's growth and development, so we will work hard to produce more excellent original works. In addition, we are also actively planning for international development and hope to contribute to the international music scene. We are full of visions to expand into the international market, and hope to further enhance the orchestra's international reputation through cooperation and exchanges with international musicians.
"Excuse me" off the stage carefully controls every detail, while "Excuse me" on stage does his best to present a more perfect stage. As they say before every performance: "Excuse me, please give me your advice." We also look forward to more opportunities to continue "Excuse me" in the future.
