#Re-TROS 重塑雕像的权利

Fascinating article/interview by Yuan Ye for Sixth Tone about the band 五條人 Wu Tiao Ren =D

They are probably unfamiliar to most of our recent followers, but we have featured them twice: five years ago HERE, and 10 years ago OVER HERE. They sing in Mandarin and in the local Min dialect - the 2 guys that started the band are from Haifeng in Guangdong Province (the band is based in Guangzhou).

仁科 Xu Renke-Accordion/Elec. Gtr/Voc, 茂濤 Hu Maotao ‘Ah Mao’-Acoustic Gtr/Voc, w/ 何俊霓-Bass, 苗长江/苗長江-Drums

The 'stunt' referred to in the link above was when they snuck in a song in their local dialect instead of the Mandarin song they had rehearsed for their first appearance on The Big Band 乐队的夏天2. They were voted off the show, but brought back a few weeks later by popular demand. Not sure if this was the performance in question, but the hosts have surprised looks on their faces as the singing begins:

This tune they performed with a horn section, and Renke switched from accordion to rocking out on electric guitar:

In The Big Band season 2 wiki, you see they finished 2nd overall, with Re-TROS 重塑雕像的权利 (Rebuilding the Rights of Statues) winning the 2020 season.

Gang of Four’s “Damaged Goods” - the original - is my Dropped Driver Theme Song but whoever handles their copyright has a bug up their ass so I present to you Re-TROS [x] / 重塑雕像的权利 doing a very solid cover. They are also on this channel performing “Hang the Police” so they seem to be stand-up people.

The change will do you good I always knew it would Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you But I know it's only lust Your kiss so sweet Your sweat so sour

Sweat's running down your back Sweat's running down your neck Heated couplings in the sun (Or is that untrue?) Colder couplings in the night (Never saw your body)

You know the change will do you good

You know the change will do you good

Damaged goods (Ah-ah-ah-ah) Send them back (Ah-ah-ah-ah) I can't work, I can't achieve (Ah-ah-ah-ah) Send me back (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Open the till (Ah-ah-ah-ah) Give me the change you said would do me good (Ah-ah-ah-ah) Refund the cost (Ah-ah-ah-ah) You said you're cheap but you're too much
