五条人乐队
广东海丰民谣道山靓仔，珠江三角洲布鲁斯狂人，Canton Pop 劲歌金曲新浪潮，中国迷幻摇滚土特产。这是一支在摇滚现场和综艺节目之间天马行空天花乱坠的奇妙乐队，他们打破了艺术和生活之间的界限，打破了语言、地域、阶层、年代的区隔，他们不断出圈、跨界、破壁、穿墙，成为中国青年亚文化和大众文化的现象级乐队。
五条人乐队由仁科和茂涛创立于 2008 年，迄今为止出版过 9 张专辑。
五条人是披着民谣外衣的朋克，也是戴着娱乐面具的艺术家，五条人是一出出马不停蹄永不落幕的大时代迷你剧。五条人为现场而生，他们可以将舞台化为世纪末的歌舞厅，城中村的发廊，CBD 的烂尾楼 也可以在庙堂和乡野之间，杀出千沟万壑，同时创造一个个
启示录般的超时空幻境——五条人的歌，是一代中国青年从乡土到县城再到国际大都市的悲欢离合，是全球化大时代普通人跌宕起伏的命运史诗。五条人身上的一切，既很摇滚，又很中国。
They can be boys singing Haifeng folk songs, mad men jamming Pearl Delta blues, New Wave surfers playing Canton Pop music. They are the native Chinese-style psychedelic rock ‘n’ roll. They can work magic both in live houses and variety shows. They have taken down the boundaries between art and life, not bound by languages, regions, social classes or ages. They never stop pushing their limits and have made themselves known outside of fixed circle. They are indeed phenomenal not just in a Chinese youth sub-cultural sense, but also in a mass cultural sense.
Wu Tiao Ren was co-founded by Renke and Maotao in 2008. They have published 9 albums so far.
They are true punks under the facade of folk singers, and true artists behind the masks of entertainers. They are the non-stopping never-ending mini show of the grand age. They thrive on live performance. They can turn the stage into a dancing hall from the end of the century, a hair salon in a urban village, and the unfinished and abandoned buildings in CBD. From temples and in the wilderness, they have created apocalyptic fantasy after fantasy transcending space and time. Their music is a bittersweet symphony of the migration of Chinese youths from the rural area to towns and cities, and finally into metropolises, an epic of the ups and downs of ordinary folks living in the times of globalization. Everything about Wu Tiao Ren is rock ‘n’ roll. Everything about them is Chinese.
