origin

The legend about happy street is like this: there is a place called happy street in the world. Happiness street is naturally a street. But only those who have the chance to get in. People who can walk to happiness Street will get happiness. The immortals who live in the happy street prefer the children who are not hurt.

It's not folk, it's not pop, it's not punk, it's not metal, it's not death, it's not Gothic, it's not rap.

It is capricious, surly, fierce, fragile and full of contradictions. At the same time, it must be as patient, meticulous and responsible as those humble craftsmen.

The band was founded in September 1999. With no encouragement and the support of unwarranted passion, it is lonely and helpless, and has been surviving ever since. Happy street is the endless longing for a happy life and the merciless blow to the hurt spring complex.

When one day you finally pass by that strange street named happiness, when you see a small and weak woman seriously peeling herself into pieces of Horror Picture, you see happiness street.

Happy street band was founded in September 1999, and soon rose to be the most eye-catching new force among the new rock bands in Beijing. Wu Hongfei, the female lead singer with a high degree, unfortunately became a different kind of Tsinghua University with the purpose of rigorous scholarship. Before hearing her singing, no one expected that she had such amazing explosive power.

The poetic lyrics, sad melody and full arrangement of the band all seem to be a reaction to the little bourgeois of the city. Abandoning metaphysical concepts and thoughts, they capture the most subtle emotions: capricious, surly, ferocious, fragile, contradictory, and tender.

"An apple that wants to become an orange" is full of childish sarcasm and sloppy singing, which is the only black color of happiness street

Humorous songs. Tears may be in your eyes one day.

Album

Fish in Bruce Lee's room

Issue time: 2004

Issuing company: sorock

Album style: Rock

In the "daughter", only seeing the psychedelic lyrics will have a trance feeling, and she is maliciously lured and ridiculed inexplicably. According to Wu Hongfei's description of the creation of "Butterfly", the work of "sympathizing with the working women of the lower class is full of metaphysical conscience and courage". I don't know if this is also a look back on my past situation. "I want you to see my white clothes, I want you to see my black lips. "The humming part of the song is also what Wu Hongfei is good at. She seems to have some sad emotions to express at any time.

Listen carefully to "April", that accompanied by the cold voice of the guitar shaking trembling on the cliff of death. Then Wu Hongfei yells violently, which makes people feel scared. The knife hidden in the lyrics plunges into the deep with her yelling and disorderly sharp guitar. I believe that Wu Hongfei has a very extreme side in his heart, a kind of courage to never give up. "Fish in Bruce Lee's room" is a bit like a tune by Van Halen at the beginning, but it feels much darker and punk quickly. It's a happy and indulgent female punk. Here Wu Hongfei shouts with the charm of her Dong nationality. This may be Wu's Dong love song.

The arrangement of Dao is delicate and pleasant. "Dao" and "give a bloodstain every day" are words related to pain. Even in such a gentle tune, they should be flashed. Swords and gentleness of martial arts style are floating in the void. Drape
