BIOGRAPHY:
=========
How
the hell do three country boys from China fall in love with rock, form a
disgustingly good band, and then annihilate their naysayers and
doubters by being crowned the Best New Rock Band in the world?
Go
to one of Rustic’s live shows and you will understand. While Lucifer,
their front man, belts lyrics in his screwball yet stylish clothes,
their bassist, Ricky Sixx, kills the chords 70’s style, with huge, blond
hair and cut up, red leather pants. But Li Fan, their drummer, will not
be ignored; he bangs out heart pumping rhythms while sweaty and
shirtless (or, if you’re lucky, pant-less). Your first Rustic
performance is one you can never forget.
Having grown up in a
small, rural town in the Hebei province of China, it was totally
unconventional to choose the career path of rock stars. “I have dreamed
of becoming a star like my idols, such as the Sex Pistols, Toy Dolls,
and the Clash, since I was 11. I don’t want to repeat the life of my
parents’ generation, which is dull in that small village,” Lucifer noted
in an interview. Lucifer and Li Fan came together in the summer of
2006, and two years later, decided to head to Beijing and pursue their
dreams. There they met Ricky, who joined after their original bassist
had to quit to face legal implications.
An ever-persistent
Rustic kept going, finding a home and fan base in D-22, one of Beijing’s
premiere underground rock clubs. Almost immediately, they pushed to the
forefront of all the young bands vying for the spotlight in Beijing’s
increasingly popular music scene. Conquering D-22 led to them playing at
all the major clubs in Beijing and opening for the likes of PK 14,
Carsick Cars, and AV Okubo. Since then, they have impressed audiences in
a number of cities across China, including Shanghai, Hong Kong,
Tianjin, and Hangzhou.
Fast-forward two years and Rustic is
rocking out harder than ever, expanding internationally and forcing the
world to take notice. After almost not entering the Global Battle of the
Bands 2009, they won on the regional and national levels to be crowned
Best Rock Band in China. But they did not stop there. Continuing on,
they out-played, outperformed and out-shined 19 bands from all over the
globe to win First Place in the Global Battle of the Bands 2009
competition, held in London, England.
Their hope is to bring
more international attention to China’s rock scene, and carve their own
niche in rock’ n’ roll history. With their first studio album debuting
before the end of the summer and a 12-date mini tour in London this
fall, it is quite clear that they are well on their way.
