Ypsigrock è uno dei quei festival che ti rimane nel cuore anche dopo aver partecipato ad una sola edizione. Sarà la possibilità di vedere artisti internazionali tra i più riconosciuti e nuove proposte super promettenti in quel posto unico che è Castelbuono. Sarà l'atmosfera accogliente del paese, i vecchietti che si godono un live di musica elettronica dal balcone di casa loro proprio come te. Sarà il cibo siciliano e il mare della costa occidentale. Troppi i motivi per non perderlo anche quest'anno, per la sua 29esima edizione.
Prima di acquistare, ti consigliamo di leggere attentamente le informazioni riportate sul sito ufficiale del festival www.ypsigrock.it (home > menu INFO > ticket info). Grazie!

Chinese American Bear
Chinese American Bear is a quirky, mando pop/synth pop duo based in Seattle, WA creating fun & eclectic bilingual English/Chinese ear candy. Composed of Anne Tong and Bryce Barsten, the couple creates groovy, and “not too serious, food loving” tunes in their home studio together. They’ve been described as the child of Melody’s Echo Chamber, The Flaming Lips, Dusty Springfield, and Care Bear, and their live show is like “a punk show for toddlers.”. The duo’s racked up over 1MM plays, and have been featured in VOGUE+, Under The Radar, DORK Magazine, praised by BBC Radio, KEXP, featured on Spotify Editorial Playlists like New in Indie, Chill Vibes, Fresh Finds Indie, Fresh Finds, and Chinese Indie Picks. Chinese American Bear’s sophomore album, Wah!!! (out October 18 via Moshi Moshi & Modern Sky China) exposes new listeners to Chinese flavors in their indie pop delicacy. They are set to tour the US, Canada, UK, and China at the end of 2024.

Dry CleaningAs soon as Dry Cleaning finished their debut album New Long Leg – critically acclaimed across the board and number four in the UK album charts – they immediately set about moving fowards. Having already started writing their second record before their first was released, they proposed to producer John Parish that they spend twice as much time on the follow-up, Stumpwork.
Listen to the album and you can feel that increased boldness - vocals which coil tightly around deft and complex riffs, great meshes of instrumental texture and the willingness to launch into full-on abstraction. It is a heady mix that is entirely Dry Cleaning’s own, distinguishing from their contemporaries. “We felt more confident,” says guitarist Tom Dowse. “We could see the bigger picture and knew where to focus our energy more efficiently.”
Ultimately, what defines Dry Cleaning’s second album is the breadth of its scope. Their music is bolder and more expansive.
