Varo

臺(tái)灣電音搖滾樂團(tuán)
由瓢蟲、錫盤街樂隊(duì)吉他手琬婷為創(chuàng)作根基，逐步向外擴(kuò)展的音樂計(jì)劃。前后兩張專輯的助拳樂手幾乎全數(shù)換血。目前的陣容是琬婷、小美、蔡易達(dá)。以電子搖滾曲風(fēng)為主，現(xiàn)場(chǎng)表演時(shí)免不了串接著為數(shù)眾多的Midi合成器、取樣機(jī)與蘋果計(jì)算機(jī)。因此，傳統(tǒng)的樂手分工在她們身上并不完全適用。
曾登陸英國(guó)BBC，并三度登上英國(guó)著名專業(yè)音樂雜志 "The wire"獲得高度評(píng)價(jià)!
團(tuán)名靈感來自西班牙超寫實(shí)女畫家Remedios Varo。
VARO was formed by the female guitarist Wan Ting in 2004. She was in one of the Taiwan’s best post-rock bands, Tin Pan Alley.
The band name VARO is taken from the Spanish surrealist painter, Remedios Varo, who Wan Ting admires.
VARO previously released 2 full albums, both of which are mixtures of post-rock, electro, punk and break-beats. They are musically diverse throughout, full of energetic pop tunes capturing the very powerful and free spirit of Taiwanese youth culture.
Wan Ting studied in Chicago and took a degree in engineering. She has a very pure talent, as she records, mixes and edits all of the band’s sessions.
Her abilities were fully reflected in the first VARO album Hardcore Beach, critically-acclaimed by UK’s WIRE magazine. VARO played as the opening act for Four Tet in 2006 and gained strong recognition among fans of rock, techno and electronica.
VARO are currently in production for their third album. It will present a completely new form of dance music which only VARO can create from post-rock to break beats, high-energy, drawing influence from rave culture. And a huge step forward from their first two albums.
