Was tuning in to channel [V] on Astro (just like SCV/Mio TV in S’pore), and I didn’t know they do play Chinese songs! Anyway, the thing was, I saw this band called 新裤子, one of their song’s MV was being played.

It just got me thinking, whats with these people naming themself 新裤子. Oh if you don’t understand, it simply means ‘new pants’. New pants for a band name? Definitely not for me.

So I went to google abit. (yeah you can see how bored I am)

新裤子，中国最具现场活力及创造性偶像摇滚乐队。1996年成立；1998年发行首张专辑《新裤子》，被香港权威音乐杂志《音乐殖民地》评为“90年代中、港、台十大唱片”之二；2000年乐队的第二张唱片《Disco Girl》亚洲同步发行，凭借单曲“我爱你”摘夺2000年度Channel[V]、音乐风云榜“最佳音乐录影带”、“年度最佳摇滚单曲”等众多奖项。2002年12月推出第三张专辑《我们是自动的》。

Apparently, they’re a trio from China, formed in 1996! And so far they’ve produced three albums, with the last one being released in 2002. So its been awhile..

Just in case you’re as curious as me, here’s a photo of them!
