ʻO ka Residents kekahi o nā pūʻulu enigmatic ma ke kahua mele o kēia wā. Aia ka mea pohihihi i ka ʻike ʻole ʻia o nā inoa o nā lālā a pau o ka hui e nā mea pā a me nā mea hoʻohewa mele. Eia kekahi, ʻaʻohe mea i ʻike i ko lākou mau helehelena, ʻoiai lākou e hoʻokani nei ma ke kahua me nā maka.
Mai ka hoʻokumu ʻana o ka hui, ua paʻa nā mea hoʻokani i ko lākou kiʻi. He mau hoʻololi koʻikoʻi wale nō. ʻO ka hoʻololi mua ma ka waena o 1980s i ka wā i ʻaihue ai kekahi o nā lālā o ka hui i kā lākou mask. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo kēia ke ʻano o kahi meʻe hou me kahi iwi poʻo i kapa ʻia ʻo Mr. iwi poʻo.
I ka makahiki 2010, ua hauʻoli ka poʻe mele a ua hoʻoholo lākou e hōʻike i kahi ʻāpana o ka laina i ka lehulehu. Ua ʻike hope ka anaina i ka mea hoʻokani leo ʻo Randy Rose, a ʻo ia hoʻi ke kuleana o ke kani o ke kīkā a me nā kī.
Ua aloha nā poʻe i ka hui ma o The Cryptic Corparation. I ka wā mua, ʻehā mau manakia wale nō ka hui i hana ʻia. Ua manaʻo kekahi o nā "fans" he mau mea hoʻokani pila kēia o ka hui. Eia naʻe, hōʻole nā lālā o The Residents i kēia ʻoiaʻiʻo.
He hoʻoilina waiwai ko ka hui. I loko o kahi ʻoihana hoʻolālā lōʻihi, ua hoʻokuʻu lākou i kahi helu nui o nā LP. Eia kekahi, ua hōʻike ka hui i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni he nui, ua hoʻomohala i ʻekolu CD-ROM a hoʻokani i nā huakaʻi nui.
Ua hoʻokō ka hui i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā mele ma lalo o ka honua. Ua lilo lākou i kumu no ka puka ʻana o nā hui: Primus, ʻO KLF, Yello, Tuxedomoon, etc.
ʻAʻole lākou i kaupalena ʻia i hoʻokahi kaila. ʻO kā lākou repertoire he avant-garde, free jazz, noise rock, post-punk. Ua makemake ka hui i nā hoʻokolohua mele. ʻO ia nō paha ka manaʻo o ka poʻe aloha mele i nā hana a The Residents. ʻO ka hoihoi o ka lehulehu, ʻaʻohe kānalua, ua hoʻonui ʻia e nā hana ʻoniʻoni me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā kiʻi punahele o "evil anonymous".
Mele na The Residents
Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka hui ma 1969. Ua wehe ʻia ka discography o ka hui e ka moʻolelo Eskimo. Ua hana ʻia kēia hanana i ka hopena o 1970s. Aia ka moʻolelo me nā leo mele ʻole, ka percussion a me nā leo huaʻōlelo ʻole.
He mea koʻikoʻi ko lākou makemake e koho i ka disc no kahi disc daimana. Ua hele ka poʻe mele i ka hanana makahiki Grammy Awards, akā ʻo ka hopena, ʻaʻole ʻakaʻaka ka waiwai i ka poʻe mele. Ma muli o kēia, ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui i nā hōʻiliʻili remix o nā mele LP, i hoʻokomo ʻia ma ka Diskomo EP.
Pono ka ʻohi ʻana ʻo The Commercial Album i ka nānā nui ʻana. Aia ka disc he 40 tracks. ʻO ka mea hoihoi, ʻo kēlā me kēia mele he hoʻokahi pauku a me ke mele. Hāʻawi lākou e hana hou i kēlā me kēia mele i nā manawa he nui i ka lālani, i lilo ka hopena i haku mele.
Ua kūʻai ka hui i 50 mau minuke o ka manawa kalepa ma KFRC. No ʻekolu lā hoʻokani ka lekiō i nā mele mai The Commercial Album. Ua ʻōlelo ka Billboard edition i kēia hoʻopunipuni a nā kāne, me ka nānā ʻana i ka ʻakaʻaka wale ʻana i kā lākou hana.
I ka makahiki 2008, ua hoʻopiha hou ʻia ka discography o ka hui me kahi album hou. Ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana i ka hōʻiliʻili ʻo The Bunny Boy. Ua hoʻomau ka moʻolelo i ke ʻano maʻamau o nā album mua: Duck Stab, The Commercial Album and Demons Dance Alone. Ua hoʻokomo ʻia ka disc hou i nā haku mele i hōʻike mua i ka Apocalypse.
Wahi a ka moʻomeheu kahiko, hele ka hui i kahi huakaʻi nui. Eia kekahi, ʻike ʻia nā wikiō hoihoi e pili ana i The Bunny Boy, ʻo ia ka mea kākau o ka wikiō, ma ke kahawai YouTube mana ʻekolu manawa i ka pule. I loko o nā wikiō, noi ʻo ia i ka lehulehu e ʻimi i kāna hoaaloha, ʻo Harvey, ka mea i nalowale ma ka mokupuni ʻo Patmos. Ua kaʻana like ka poʻe i loaʻa nā manaʻo noʻonoʻo ʻo The Bunny Boy mail.
I kekahi manawa ma hope mai, ua hoʻopuka ʻia ka ʻike ma ka pūnaewele kūhelu o ka hui e makemake ʻo Bunny Boy e hoʻopau ʻia nā wikiō me kona komo ʻana. Pēlā i pau ai ka kau mua o kēia moʻo pupule, a hoʻomaka ka lua i ʻelua makahiki ma hope.
Nā hoʻololi ʻano hui
I ka makahiki 2010, hele ka poʻe mele i kahi huakaʻi Talking Light nui. Ua mākaʻikaʻi nā kāne iā ʻAmelika ʻĀkau a me nā ʻāina ʻEulopa. Ma ke ala, ua haʻalele kekahi o nā mea komo i ka hui ma kēia huakaʻi. Ua haʻi hope ke alakaʻi o ka hui i kēia kūlana:
"Me ka manaʻo ʻole no kā mākou hui, ua haʻalele kekahi o nā mea mele i ka hui. He 40 kona mau makahiki a ua ʻike koke ʻo ia ʻaʻole nona ka pāʻina pōhaku. Ua haʻalele ʻo ia e mālama i kona makuahine maʻi nui."
I ka manawa like, ua ho'āʻo nā soloists i nā kiʻi hou a me nā maka. ʻO ia hoʻololi wale nō i hoʻonui i ka hoihoi maoli i ka hui. Hoʻokomo ka mea leo ʻo Randy i ka maka o kahi ʻelemakule. ʻO Chuck a me ka mea hoʻokani pila ʻo Bob i ʻaʻahu i nā wig dreadlock ʻeleʻele a me nā mea i ʻike ʻia he optics ma ko lākou mau maka.
I ka makahiki 2012, ua hō'ike 'ia ka disc a'e Coochie Brake. Ua kālele ʻia nā mele o ka hui ʻana i ke kani lāhui. Ua lohe ʻia nā mele ma ka ʻōlelo Paniolo ma nā haku mele. ʻAʻole pili kēia ʻano i ka hui. No laila, ua manaʻo ka poʻe pā i hana ʻia nā ʻāpana leo e kahi lālā hou.
Ma hope o kēlā, hoʻolaha nā mea hoʻokani mele o ka hui The Residents i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kahi huakaʻi, i hoʻonohonoho ʻia no ka hoʻohanohano ʻana i ka 40th anniversary mai ka hana ʻana o ka papahana. Ua hala ka huakaʻi a hiki i 2016. Ma muli o ka huakaʻi, ua hoʻokuʻu ka poʻe mele i nā moʻolelo ola, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo The Wonder of Weird and Shadowland.
ʻO ka hui kamaʻāina i kēia manawa
I ka makahiki 2016, ua hoʻolaha kūhelu ka hui i nā mea pā e pili ana i ka hopena o ka trilogy Randy, Bob a me Chuck. ʻO ka hapa hope o ka trilogy ʻo ia ka huakaʻi Shadowland. Ma ke kahua, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Charles Bobak makemake ʻo ia e ʻōlelo aloha i ke kahua me kēia. Ua haʻalele ʻo Charles i ka hui ma muli o ke ʻano o ke olakino.
ʻAʻole ʻo Charles i "māmā" e like me ka makemake o nā mea pā iā ia. ʻO ka hopena, ua ʻike ʻia ua lawe ʻo ia i kahi ʻoihana solo. Akā i kekahi ala a i ʻole, ua kū ʻo Charles ma ke kahua me ka hui a hiki i kona make ʻana (a hiki i 2018). Na Rico ka wahi o ka mea hookani pila.
Mai ka makahiki 2016, ua hui pū ka hui me ka lepili Cherry Red Records. I ka manawa like, ua ʻike ʻia ka hōʻike ʻana o ka album studio hou ʻo The Ghost of Hope e hiki koke mai ana.
I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua ʻike ʻia kahi huakaʻi hou. Ua hoʻomaka ʻia ʻo In Between Dreams ma ka Blue Note Club ma Tokyo. ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu ua hoʻopiha hou ʻia ka discography o ka hui me kahi album hou, The Ghost of Hope. Hoʻokumu ʻia ka manaʻo o ka longplay ma ka noiʻi mōʻaukala e pili ana i nā ulia kaʻaahi i ka hopena o ke kenekulia XNUMX a me ke kenekulia XNUMX.
I ka makahiki 2018, ua hōʻike nā mea hoʻokani i ka disc Intruders i nā mea aloha mele. Ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia ka hōʻiliʻili e nā mea pā a me nā mea hoʻokani mele. Ua mālama ʻia nā mele mele o ka hui i nā ʻaha mele.
ʻElua mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album Metal, Meat & Bone The Songs of Dyin 'Dog, kahi i hōʻike ʻia ma 2020. ʻO kahi ʻāpana o nā ʻaha mele i koi ʻia e hoʻonohonoho hou ʻia ma muli o ka maʻi maʻi coronavirus.
