(((10))) is one of the weirdest bands I’ve seen for sure. I saw them in 2009 at 2Kolegas — back in the Waterland Kwanyin days — after which performance a friend of mine described them as “Japanese Bjork meets Kraftwerk.” South Korea-born Itta makes sound using a variety of inputs, including kazoos, balloons, squeak toys, a keytar, her wide-ranging voice, and crowd coercion. Marquido, her Japanese counterpart, processes these noises using various gizmos and outputs them into noisy but catchy electro-pop.

Not in China? Watch on YouTube.

You really have to see them for yourself, and you’ll have a few chances in early June since they’re coming for a short tour. I’ll take this chance to plug the pangbianr show on their schedule, which will go down at Hot Cat Club in Fangjia hutong on Sunday June 5th (remember the next monday is a holiday, pre-Dragon Boat party!). That night (((10))) will be joined by Tianjin wildmen Ice Seller and 小红与小小红 (who recently caught some international coverage on the Pitchfork offshoot Altered Zones).

They’re also playing at D-22 and Raying Temple, check the flyer below for the full schedule. And below that, (((10)))’s own out-of-left-field press release. Enjoy.

“亚洲最古怪的实验音乐”——《Time Out》

韩国新浪潮艺术家Itta与日本噪音制造者Marqido在2005年10月10日组成了“10”。
名字中的“1”取于Itta（意为存在）的“I”，“0”取于Marqido的“Maru”（意为“丸”，qi意为“喜”，do意为“怒”）。
乐队成立于韩国，曾在亚洲（韩国、日本、中国、新加坡、马来西亚、泰国和菲律宾）和欧洲（法国、西班牙、德国、比利时、意大利、爱尔兰、英国）以及美国一些地方巡演，现在他们也依旧不停地在各地巡演着，是亚洲最为活跃的乐队之一。
在中国，他们曾被各大音乐节多次邀请，比如Mini Midi（2006、2007、2008年三届）、大山子国际艺术节（2006年）、二皮音乐节（2007年）等，也曾受上苑艺术馆艺术家的邀请于2008年来北京演出。
乐队在2009年由中国的独立厂牌“燥眠夜/兵马司”发行了专辑《Kitsch》，以“10”为名的二人也于2010年10月10日互定终身，真正结合在了一起。
今年，“10”的新专辑《NATUREPLEX》在2月11日发行，一个月后，大自然突然给了乐队一个沉重的打击——日本大地震发生。悲痛难抑，人类在自然面前是如此的渺小与脆弱。可是，“10”仍旧要用心去歌唱自然！
“10”将会让你看到这颗心！
