星期天萬歲！

2007年——Luminous Orange上次來台灣的時候，瞪鞋還沒有搭上復古風潮，台下的觀眾沒有人知道在台北有一天也會看到MBV、Slowdive、Ride、JAMC等名字。關於瞪鞋，那覆蓋著一切的聲音，與其說是把一切隔在外頭、尚未入睡的美好早晨，更像是透過滿佈塵埃的窗戶看著裡面透過去的斜陽。

或許因為這樣，LO這個日本最早的瞪鞋團，在那時已經離1992組團時的甜美直截很遠了，曲子不斷變奏跳躍，在跟著哼之前，竹内里恵的歌聲總是在眼前在耳後更快飄過，只留下空氣的末梢。

而在台下，同樣眺望著遠去的1991年，台灣第一個把Loveless的每一秒聽到小數點以下第三位的樂團，Slow Burning Machine的貝斯手酪啃，將在隔年組成Sloth Scamper，將在每個樂器速率不同的乘法之間，記錄下因為走得太快，而沒有能夠想起的空隙，提示著，沒有什麼東西永遠不會fade out。

十年過去，宣稱喜歡瞪鞋的年輕樂團越來越多，那些唱片架上的名字一一重組，來到我們眼前復刻自己，聽著後來LO的專輯，聽著酪啃新團St. Sloth Machine的卡帶，你或許會有些意外，又或許並不那麼意外地發現，他們甚至比當年「隔著距離的瞪鞋」走得還要更遠上許多了。

在純粹物理性的噪音殘響中，酪啃的吉他像是古老的收音機，在頻道切換的雜訊裡傳來沒有聽過的熟悉旋律。而LO的變奏更加破碎，彷彿賽博龐克的高樓天際線，在其中，竹内里恵的歌聲同樣飄過同樣難以捕捉，卻奇異地朝著某個終點集中，像是這無機質城市裡唯一的祭典。

當我們的生活終於不待feedback便已化作碎片，當他們重新奏起十年前的歌，很難說在那星期六的晚上，將會聽到什麼，唯一確定的大概只是，那些很久沒有被演奏的曲子，那些聲音並不會帶我們回到1991年，不會回到2007年，而通向比那裡面的所有變奏節拍的指針都要再過去一些的時間。

>>>Luminous Orange
Since its forming in 1992, the distinct song writing style keeps rousing keen rock fans who fed up with major Karaoke-rock, while inspiring fellow and follower musicians such as Number Girl, Hidaka from Beat Crusaders,Condor44, etc. Cornelius and Ian Masters (ex.Pale Saints) were so lured by her music that released her stuff from their labels, Trattoria and Friendly Science, that result in good chart actions and total sales of 22,000 copies. Luminous Orange consists of Rie--singer, guitarist & songwriter, supported by reliable fellow musicians. Layers of delicate female voices with glittering,sometimes harsh guitars & synth on aggressive rhythms with hints of bossanova ,electronica, classic impressionism. It dazzles!! Chosen as a performer for Colette's millenium party in Paris, CMJ Music Marathon 2001 & 2004, SXSW2006 and SXSW2007!! Rie also sang on a couple of tracks of Ian Masters' Friendly Science Orches! tra, the single "Miniature Album"was selected as Single of The Week of NME. Ian also sang on Luminous Orange as a guest vocalist, for a couple of times. Though excluding the latest album "Sakura Swirl", that was released from NY based Music Related, few Luminous Orange materials are distributed outside Japan,some CDs are available from official Luminous Orange website(http://www5a.biglobe.ne.jp/?luminous), tonevendor(http://www.tonevendor.com/) , and CD Baby(http://www.cdbaby.com/). also MP3s are available from iTunes Music Store. Anyway, the new album "Sakura Swirl" is being distributed in the US and Europe and Japan!!

They are also active in playing abroad. Although they couldn't meet the request to play at Collette Millenium Party in Paris 2001 and CMJ Music Marathon2001(due to 911), they played atCMJ 2004, SXSW2006 & 2007 and got good critics. And in Taiwan, they participated Formoz Festival 2007, at which Yo La Tengo, Buffalo Daughter, also played.

有次我們在寵物當家這個節目，發現樹懶實在是太從容了，就把牠拿來當做團名。樹懶做什麼事情都非常緩慢，從一本童書叫做【好慢、好慢、好慢的樹懶】就可了解，連說三次好慢表示牠們真的讓人很不耐煩。不過，再三強調我們不是慢活團；聽我們的音樂邊冥想或做瑜珈一定會中風的。為了妳/你的健康，請一定要來聽聽看！
