Lovebugs歌手简介:
瑞士最受欢迎的摇滚天团-爱情病毒 Lovebugs,红遍欧洲13国。一如许多乐团的成名故事一般,爱情病毒乐团起始于一卷录音带。主唱亚卓安(Adrian)参加歌唱竞赛并进入决选,之后组团、获得发片机会。热力十足的爱情病毒乐团,终于让主流厂牌注意到他们优异的表现,先后与德国BMG、瑞士华纳签约,发行专辑,并在欧洲13国的公信榜上有着相当不错的成绩。
除此之外,爱情病毒乐团也展现了摇滚乐团有稜有角的个性,由于主流唱片强势主导的专辑销售不如预期,让团员毅然决然的解除合约,作自己的音乐;在随后发行的专辑里,深刻反省自己的音乐之路,但过于叛逆的歌词,引起瑞士媒体及当局的关注,甚至不惜更改各排行榜的名次,但爱情病毒乐团以超过4万人的演唱会展现他们受欢迎的程度。
After breaking through to mainstream success in 1996 with their self-titled album, the Lovebugs were one of Switzerland's leading bands, performing English-language alternative rock inspired primarily by classic American and British pop/rock of the 1970s (e.g., Neil Young), '80s (e.g., the Cure), and '90s (e.g., $Nirvana). Initially a trio, the Basel-based band grew to become essentially a vehicle for singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Adrian Sieber (aka ADRIAN|SOLO).|THE|LADRIAN|SOLO).|THE|LAdrian Solo). |REACThe Lovebugs reached number one on the Swiss charts for the first time with their 2001 album .|THEN,|AAwaydays. Then, after some bandmember reshuffling and the relatively disappointing album 13|SONGS|WITH|A|VIEW|13 Songs with a View (2003), |RETUthe Lovebugs returned to the top of the Swiss charts with their albums |(2005)|AND|Naked (2005) and In Every Waking Moment (2006). A couple years later |WENT|SOLO|Sieber went solo with ,|A|TOAdrian Solo, a Top Ten hit that showcased his songwriting and musical ability.
$|1SIEBER,|BORN|SIEBER,|BORN|ADSieber, born Adrian Benjamin Sieber on July 6, 1972, in Basel, Switzerland, co-founded |IN|1the Lovebugs in 1992 with bassist Sebastian Hausmann and a drummer named .|FOLLOWING|Julie. Following a couple independent releases, FLUFF|(1994)|AND|TAFLUFF|(1994)|AND|TAFluff (1994) and $|2TART|(1995),|TART|(1995),|THTart (1995), |FIRSthe Lovebugs first charted in 1996 with their self-titled album, a Top 50 entry. The album's lead single, "Fantastic," became something of a breakthrough hit, though it didn't chart nationally; "Marilyn," "Fingers and Thumbs," and "Angel Heart" were also released as singles, the latter of the three becoming a Top 40 hit.
The next $|1LOVEBUGS|ALBUM,|Lovebugs album, Transatlantic Flight (2000), debuted on the Swiss albums chart at number three. The album's lead single, "Under My Skin," released in late 1999, was a Top 20 hit; "Bitter Moon" and "Wall of Sound" were also released as singles. Clearly a popular band by this point, |TOPPthe Lovebugs topped the Swiss albums chart with their successive release, |(2001),|Awaydays (2001), which spawned the hit singles "Music Makes My World Go Round" (number 16) and "Coffee and Cigarettes" (number 46). In the wake of this chart-topping success, bassist and LOVEBUGS|CO-FOUNDER|Lovebugs co-founder Sebastian Hausmann left to form his own band, Fucking Beautiful; he was replaced by bassist FLORIAN|SENN|AND|KEYBFlorian Senn and keyboardist ,|LEStefan Wagner, leaving |THE|ONLY|FSieber the only founding member. Other bandmembers include guitarist THOMAS|RECHBERGER|(WHThomas Rechberger (who joined the band in 1998) and drummer |(JSimon Ramseier (joined in 1994).
The new $Lovebugs lineup made its recording debut on the 2002 one-off single "Flavour of the Day," a Top 30 hit. The subsequent full-length album, ^13 Songs with a View (2003), was a relative disappointment, however, charting at number seven and spawning only the minor hit "A Love Like Tides" (number 63). $The Lovebugs then returned to the top of the Swiss albums chart in 2005 with the live "unplugged" album ^Naked and then again in 2006 with the studio album ^In Every Waking Moment; the latter album spawned a pair of major hits, "The Key" (number 17) and "Avalon" (featuring $Lene Marlin; number ten), and reclaimed the band's position atop the Swiss alternative rock scene.
In 2008 $Sieber made his solo recording debut, adopting the pseudonym $Adrian Solo and releasing a self-titled full-length album. $Sieber played all the instruments on the album -- drums, bass, guitar, synthesizer, piano, beats -- and wrote all the songs. More experimental than his $Lovebugs work and a bit less popular overall, ^Adrian Solo spawned a couple hits ("The Healing," "If You Just Knew...") and peaked at number six on the Swiss albums chart.
