《迷路兵》

迷路兵

3/5

第一次和童年好友一起组团参加去年《非常Superband》，"迷路兵"的键盘手陈伟奇（22岁）、鼓手王瑞祥（Sam, 21岁）和主唱兼吉他手李顺利（Nic, 23岁）就顺利脱颖而出，夺得冠军；三人第一次出专辑，共有三首集体创作"泪"，"适应"，和"Get Alive"都成功被公司采用，而且还被选为主打歌之一。对三位男生而言，不愧是初战歌坛的最佳鼓励。三位创作中，"泪"的流行度较高，惟建议演唱时应加入较强烈德嘶吼唱腔，增加歌曲的热情度。或许因三人是在教会老师的带领下，整体少了摇滚乐团应有的个性。加上成员的年纪较轻，个性又温和，歌迷很难在他们的演唱中，找到年轻人口中常强调的"attitude"的演出"power"。

Milubing's "lei" on POTP for the second week - ranking number 9 this week

Thanks for all who voted. Please continue to vote spontaneously. If you can, get your friends to help you vote too? LOL!

However, take note of the following - something that Uncle phil found out from DJ Jiahui...

1) One person can only vote 1 song 1 time per method. So you can vote Lei by sending 1x coupon, 1x SMSing & 1x Calling.

2) Cannot use same hand writing to cast vote by coupons even they are of different names.

3) Cannot use same telephone or handphone to call in and vote (meaning: 1 phone number only allow 1 vote).

Yeah, so the voting methods are as follows...O_O I simply copy-paste from the earlier post...

Voting options...
1) Coupons can be found on the 'radio section' of I-weekly. Cut out the coupon, fill in the song title "泪" and the artiste's name "迷路兵", and then fill in your particulars then mailed it to

Yes933 《醉心龙虎榜》负责人收
Farrer Road PO Box 933
Singapore 912899

2) Key in POTP933[space]lei (song title can be keyed in using hanyu pinyin or chinese) then send to 72346. Each sms costs 30 cents.

3) Call 1900 912 0933
Each call costs 20 cents

4) VISUAL RADIO - I don't know what that is... O_____O

Well, I’m back here with the recaps again. To start things with, I would say today’s autograph session at Bukit Panjang Plaza is a little different from the previous two. Why?

1) They were in different outfit – it’s the one that you saw in some of the newspaper articles.
2) They sang four songs today – lei, shi ying, Get Alive and So Sad
3) Free posters are given for every purchase of their album at the autograph session
4) NIC DANCE~

Anyway, during the Q&A time with DJ Jia hui, the trios mentioned they are happy and sad. They are happy because they get to meet all of us again. Furthermore, today’s weather is so nice. But sad because this is the last autograph session for now…

After singing shi ying, Jia Hui asked them right now, what is it that they still find it hard to adapt to. To nic, it’s the amount of sweat that he produces? LOL! Because they mediacorp studio that they once performed in, is very cold unlike now…o_O can’t remember Weiqi’s answer…

When asked who has the best vocals – Sam and weiqi voted for Nic and Nic voted for Sam. But nic explained their ‘specializations’ are different so there isn’t ‘who is better’…

The type of songs they listened to are also different. Sam likes Canto-pop; Nic likes FIR, Shin and some Western singers that we don’t know; Weiqi likes FIR and I-don’t-know-what-else, basically any types of music/songs la…

Other than that, they were asked who can dance best – NIC~~ Sam and Weiqi explained nic has the talent and they don’t have… -_-! Soon, everyone request for nic to dance…and he showed a little of his dance steps. =D!

Jia Hui asked the other two if they have been polishing up on their dance skills. Weiqi said he has been ‘learning’ ballet, and apparently that is a joke… -_-! As for sam – his answer is “and the next song is So Sad~”… -_-!

LOL! But they proclaim if they are given the chance to do dance in their next album they won’t hesitate to try out because they love to experiment with new things…

After the signing part, MLB family took pictures with them…

Jia Hui asked them a few more questions before wrapping things up – what are the presents that leaves them deepest impression? It’s the “迷路兵之旅” that leaves them the most impression? =D!

Furthermore, Jia Hui raised the question on their promo schedule after today – Sam explained because all are still pending so he can’t reveal much as yet…

Oh yes, some of our friends were ‘encore encore’-ing during the last Q&A but the instruments were already been kept! So the girls shouted “ACCAPELLA~!”…

Alright – the trios agreed to singing a little more – and their encore is just thanking us for coming…-_-! LOL! But they sang a few lines of shi ying without their instruments to satisfy us…

Yes I think I miss out a bit but I can’t remember…sorry! Pictures huh? *winks at Sofui jie*

Well, this is the article in 《星期五周报》. Thanks anonmyous for typing word by word....

“迷路兵” 团名成迟到借口

报道：黄慧芬

本地乐团“迷路兵”约会迟到时，团名竟成了不守时的借口。

迷路兵是新传媒乐团选星赛《非常Superband》的冠军，由团长兼键盘手陈伟奇、主唱兼吉他手李顺利（Nic），以及鼓手王瑞祥（Sam）组成。他们日前为宣传首张同名专辑《迷路兵》，接受了本地媒体的访问。

谈到团名的由来，Nic表示，“迷路兵”是三人在比赛试镜的钱一晚一起喝饮料“美禄冰”（Ice Milo）时，无意取得。“两轮的试镜过后，有人问我们要不要换团名，因为听起来怪怪的。但我们觉得这名字好玩，所以就一直用到现在。”

久而久之，团名就“顺道”成了三人迟到时的“挡箭牌”。Sam笑说：“如果不准时，我们可以用‘迷路兵迷路了’做借口，大家就会一笑置之。”

迷路兵的新专辑收录了他们创作的三首歌曲，包括：《泪》、《适应》和 “Get Alive”。 Sam说：“比赛结束后，我们虽然各忙各的，但都抽空写歌和筹备专辑。很幸运的，我们的三首创作都被公司用来做主打。”

除了为专辑而忙，伟奇和Nic还有其他职责在身———前者是一名大学生，目前就读南洋理工学院的设计与传媒学院；后者则正在武装部队文工团服役。唯有刚队伍的Sam比较“闲空”：“玩音乐以外，我也在考虑是否要学烹饪，因为我对这门手艺有兴趣。”

迷路兵的“土兵头”标志出自富有设计天分的伟奇之手，他说，灵感来自模版涂鸦艺术（stencil art），“只要在塑料板上剪出图样，再用漆喷在图样剪下后空出来的地方，就可以一直复制。”

迷路兵会为爱牺牲？

专辑中有一首《天使眷恋》，讲述天使为爱做出的牺牲，是迷路兵最有感触的歌曲。问他们是否会为爱牺牲，三人认真地想了一阵子，才作答。

Sam说：“不会，因为我比较理智，脚踏实地，不会感情用事。但我还是会疼女朋友。”

Nic说：“我比较感情用事，所以可能会为爱牺牲。但讲得容易，做得难。” Nic表示，自己曾经心血来潮，花了一晚为女友拼凑500块的透明拼图。

伟奇说：“我觉得会，因为如果女朋友不舒服，我就会打电话给事先约好要见面的朋友，为临时缺席而道歉。”

Quite a few updates. Firstly, this week's 《星期五周报》 has Milubing's interview. I'll see if I can get the soft copy of it and post it here soon. Stay tune!

Mypaper too - although it's the same as the vodcast article I posted yesterday...

Milubing's FC in charges has been selected! And here's part of their message,

"ATTENTION!

Dear all MLBians,

If you remember, Wei Qi posted a message up on the blog some time ago, to appeal to fans to sign up to lead the MLB fan club, and be the main point of contact. I'm sure many of us here have sent in their proposals to Warner Music, and we strongly believe that every single MLBian is capable of holding this post.

After reading thru the proposals, Warner has selected a few of us to come together to manage the FC as a team. These people are namely Yuan Ping, Mei Kian, BiRu and Rosel. We'll be managing the fc together as a team, no hierarchy on who is more superior to the others. However, Yuan Ping will be the main point of contact for Warner Music, for Warner Music to contact regarding matters of the fan club.


Ok, i guess the top 2 paragraphs aren't the main point. There's a piece of news that Warner Music will like us to inform all MLBians, so here it is.

IMPORTANT!

This coming Saturday (28 July 2007) is Mi Lu Bing's autograph session at Bukit Panjang Plaza.

We wish to gather all fans in the MLBian family, and encourage all to wear your MLB t-shirts on Saturday.

There will be a short group photo-taking session after the autograph session on Sat.

Only fans with the MLB tee will be able to join in the group photo-taking session, those without MLB tee(edited at 9.01pm: Biru said those without MLB tee can also join in the phototaking as long as you are in white top)

*MLB tee- the white tee designed by Wei Qi, pre-ordered in mid Dec 06, collected at the 3rd gathering.

We're really really sorry about this short notice, but we sincerely hope that all fans will be able to make their way down to Bukit Panjang Plaza to support MLB this Saturday, as well as show our unity by wearing the MLB tee.

Thank You for your attention. :)


Fan Club In Charge,
Yuan Ping, Mei Kian, BiRu, Rosel"

Another one...

MLB Fan Club In-Charge said...

Dear all,

To better inform all MLBians, we've set up an email for the fan club. We hope that all MLBians will send us their contacts, so that we can inform all of you of information via email/sms the moment we get it.

Also, we're aware that not all MLBians check this blog frequently. Therefore, we feel that this will be a better system rather than just posting it on the blog. [We'll still post it on the blog though.]

So,we hope that MLBians can send your contacts to us so that you can be better updated about news of MLB.

Please send your

Name:
Contact No.: [HP] [Home]
Email:
Address:

to milubing.fc@gmail.com

We've also decided that there will NOT be an official fan club. Anyone who is a fan of MLB is welcome to join us. Therefore, no fee and such will be enforced.

We look forward to seeing your emails, and you're welcome to provide suggestions and feedback for us to further improve the fan club. Just email us at that same email yah? :)

We hope that with the cooperation of all MLBians, we can make this fan club a successful one.

Cheers!

Fan Club In Charge,
Yuan Ping, Mei Kian, BiRu, Rosel"

Cool right? =D!

Most of the lot are very generous encouragements, some are personal stories to share, a little bit of positive nagging. Whatever the case, thank u for these letters and cards. They are a great form of 'JIA YOU' to us and i enjoy reading them although there are no replies..

No, i'm not feeling EMO. Just felt really thankful and blessed.

Hey there MLBians! "We've received the MLB journal book with the well wishes at the back, really means so much to us!mmm, our fu zhuang for auto sessions is the da ge fu, so can't add or minus unless we're allowed to.ADM has great facilities and great tutors,it's jus kinda new,like only 1st 3 batches next year,and more courses are provided along the way as more teachers join the school. It'll be great to go down to the school itself to talk to the profs and take a look around to get a clearer pic.Also,it has it's strengths,so if ur thinking of mastering in it's strengths,then u shld go there.Frankly speaking it's hard to talk about my own school,not appropriate,so guess this is as far as i can go.Jus keep ur options open,and do a proper research on wat's available to u b4 making a decision." *Cough* ok ok, to those who are super confused with this comment,i'm jus replying some of the MLBians who asked me some questions that's all. :)

(P.S. "Milubing fan" said today's zao bao got an article about their album - I wonder if it's the same as the one I got from website...? =D!)

Labels: album review, news articles

After all those instructions that we always heard during autograph sessions, the fun started with the cheering of MLB family’s glory of the is-it-day-or-week-or-year – which brings me to this announcement that I’m going to make - Milubing’s “lei” is already in Yes933’s POTP this week, ranking number 17. DJ Jia Hui encouraged us to keep voting. If we continue to do so, eventually we will have higher chances of seeing them shining at Singapore Hits Awards 2007…

Alright; back to the topic. After much anticipation, the guys are welcomed by thunderous screams from us. After the experience from last week’s autograph session, they seemed less anxious and more relaxed. Nic was elated to see more people coming today? LOL!

Oh yes before I forget – after the guys greeted us, they greeted Jia Hui too by addressing her “Chong Qing” (my question: why?)… -_-!

They chatted about their poses at the album cover – Jia Hui asked why does Sam looked so small in the pic – Weiqi answered don’t Sam looked like he’s going to bash people up? -_-! As for Nic’s pose, they said he was about to slip when the cameramen happened to captured that moment? LOL!

Well, basically the interview is pretty much similar as last week…but the guys claimed they didn’t know about the results at Yes933 POTP until Jia Hui mentioned it – so they were ‘accused’ of “not following the program” (as in jokingly la)…LOL!

Aha! They were asked “who gave them the most touching words they have heard so far”? Sam said it was the encouragements from their boss – he will encourage them not to give up when faced with any setbacks…Weiqi answered it’s the encouragements that WE (ahem =P) leave on their blog…According to Nic, it was his dad~~ he understand Nic is busy with shows at Mediacorp and NS but he will still ferry (?) him home no matter how late it ended? Yup if I didn’t remember wrongly…correct me if I’m wrong…

That’s all I can remember as I didn’t do any recording so the above recap was base solely on memory…the songs they performed is “lei”, “shi ying” and “Get alive”…

Ah! It was Sam who came out with the idea for “shi ying” and the trio developed it into this song. “Get alive” – a super inspirational song – is the song that reflects them the most in the album? Yeah~

That’s all I can remember…photos will be uploaded when I received it. I did capture some snapshots but I know some of you got better looking pictures. IF you want me to share it here, send it to lostsoldiersmlb@gmail.com or if you have my own email/msn then you can send it to my own email/msn…

The next autograph session will be on 28 July, Saturday, 3pm at Bukit Panjang Plaza “Garden Plaza” (the open space outside NTUC Fairprice at I-will-check-out-which-level-again). Please stay tune as I will be posting again the “99% complete guide on how to go to Bukit Panjang Plaza” again =D…

Here's the Chinese version of the interview texts...

迷路兵：我们是bao-ga-liao！（独家录像）

2007年7月19日

【非常SuperBand】冠军迷路兵终于推出新专辑，还在专辑里大玩pattern。3位一起长大的老友记，有没有暗中较劲谁更受欢迎？再亲密的团体都会有吵架拆伙的一天，迷路兵呢？来看独家录像专访！

蓝燕芳报道；郭家萍摄影；吴美贤录影；陈慧湘剪辑

迷路兵在【非常SuperBand】比赛中，喜欢在编曲中创新意、在演唱中加自创独白、增加舞台剧效果等等，以“pattern多多”（花招百出）著称。这次推出第一张专辑【迷路兵】，他们也有玩pattern！

这次的pattern是…
“我们的pattern是尝试不同风格的音乐，（这张专辑里）有摇滚的、开心的、抒情的、悲伤的、好玩的、大家一起唱的。”
嗯，可是这样一来定位岂不是很模糊？
Nic:“我们是全能嘛！呵呵！”
Sam:“其实现在我们还在找自己的风格，所以想全部都试一下，看哪一个最适合我们。”
伟奇：“哈哈，我们尽～量什么都可以bao ga liao（一手包办）！”

3人表示，很欣赏一些歌手例如陶喆这样“全能”，可以摇滚、可以嘻哈、可以抒情。目前，迷路兵三人分工合作，声线比较柔的Sam包办抒情歌、歌声有爆发力的Nic专唱强烈的摇滚歌曲、声音“百搭”的伟奇负责配唱和音。他们表示，现在正学习彼此的长处，希望朝“全方位”发展。

这张专辑中，三首主打歌都是迷路兵包办词曲创作，也是一种“bao ga liao”的体现！

筹备专辑最怕的是…
从写歌、练唱、录音、拍MV到宣传，迷路兵最怕的是哪个阶段？

Nic：录完歌，等待成品出来的时候开始担心，怕唱得不好、制作之后效果会怎样、怕大家不能接受…

去年8月初夺得【非常SuperBand】冠军，专辑却迟至今天才推出，迷路兵坦言“的确是有一点久”。其实比赛过后，他们也没有闲下来。伟奇进入南洋理工大学艺术设计与媒体学院；Nic服兵役；而刚刚退伍的Sam嘛…

Sam：“退伍这半年来，我一边筹备专辑、一边做我喜欢做的事，例如运动…”
伟奇：“所以我们都很羡慕他…哈哈…”
难怪今天见面，Nic和伟奇看来难掩疲态，唯Sam精神奕奕。

所谓打铁要趁热，迷路兵专辑在SuperBand结束将近一年后才推出。
难道不怕热潮消退、明星魅力减弱、粉丝变心？怕签唱会人少？
Nic：“没有想这么多，现实就是这样子，想也没有用…我们只是想做音乐，尽力做到最好。以前在台上表演，我们就尽量想pattern来娱乐大家；现在是专辑，我们就尽量多写些好歌，希望大家能欣赏－这就是我们所关心的。”

伟奇：“我们不想辜负支持者和朋友们，所以想尽量做一张好的专辑。这个间隔的时间是有一点长，可是我们在音乐的素质上是花了很多心思的。”

Sam:“不管还有没有支持者，我们还是会做好自己的本分。”

如果在签唱会上，来的支持者寥寥无几…
迷路兵斩钉截铁地说：“如果只来10个人，我们也会为这10个人表演！”

访问隔天，是迷路兵的第一场签唱会，到场粉丝绝对是“10个人”的好多倍，现场的气氛热闹滚滚。粉丝几乎个个人手一张迷路兵专辑，迷路兵唱歌时他们也热情地跟着一起唱，投入的精神是百分百的。吁，大家可以放心了吧。


·“泪”是伟奇的心声？
专辑第一波主打歌“泪”，说的是“哀悼已逝爱人的故事”，走的是悲情摇滚路线。宣传稿上说，这首歌其实是伟奇的心声…

•写歌是追女绝招？
Nic正色表示，他用歌曲记录心情，绝对不是为了追女生…（呃，好啦，就当我的问题很肤浅，OK！）

既然把歌曲当日记，那他们最想记录生命中的哪一段经历？
Nic说，每一段值得记录的经历都想记下。例如他在感化院时伟奇和Sam一直写信来鼓励他。这就像他们在Get Alive里面写道：烦恼难题全部都抛开。“希望这首歌也可以鼓励陷入沮丧低潮的朋友，抛开烦恼，往前走…”

有粉丝到学校找伟奇…
听说，有神通广大的粉丝，闯入大学的宿舍找到伟奇，还送上早餐咖啡。哇，女友有没有吃醋？

•相见好、相处难。再好的搭档也会有吵架、拆伙的一天。迷路兵怎么说？
•3人互相较劲？收到过最好的礼物是…陌生人送的食物，伟奇都敢吃？
迷路兵口口声声说友情比金坚，我们再次“挑拨离间”。难道他们之间没有暗中比较，谁的粉丝多？谁的礼物好？

伟奇总是很放心地吃下粉丝送的食物，完全没有戒心？不久前韩国才发生有“反偶像份子”故意送上有毒饮料给知名乐团，结果团员中毒入院…

•拍MV的趣事
一说到拍MV，3人都变得很活泼。

之前显得懒洋洋的Nic更是笑得很灿烂，原来拍MV的过程简直就是他的“汗水史”…什么流汗、脱妆、补粉、衣服湿到变色…典型的汗宝宝。

·当艺人最不习惯的是…
现在当上艺人，3人都有一些不习惯的地方。

一说到这个，都七情上面：

有的怀念“穿拖鞋出门”；

有的怀念“可以光着上身骑车”；

有的怀念“温暖的被窝”…

Two thngs here.

First is some instructions provided by meikian regarding this Sunday's autograph session...can I just copy-paste? =P!

"meikian said...

to all going for sunday's auto session.

Please note that the autograph session will be held at the Open Plaza. However, we're not allowed to queue at the open plaza before the event. The queuing will be at the area behind/outside LJS.

from the mrt station, walk towards the shopping mall and turn right. [that stretch with all the fast food chains, Macs, Mos burger etc] walk straight and exit from the door, the queue should be on your left, just outside LJS.

those who've gone for the F.I.R Showcase will most likely know.

hope you guys understand my directions heh.

ohh and there's this other S.H.E event on that day at 6pm so im not sure if it'll be messy. but MLB fans try to recognise each other, so that you dont follow the wrong queue or whatever. yupps.

:)"

Secondly, thanks 'doraemon' for informing us that someone uploaded a little bit of 泪 MV on youtube. A little bit means its only 1.52 mins of the song. =)...

MiLu Bing on MiLu Bing the album *Exclusive videos

July 19, 2007

The three boys have finally released their debut album close to one year after their SuperBand win. What’s the album like? How are the boys now?

Two music competitions has come (and one has gone) since MiLu Bing was crowned the winner of Channel U’s SuperBand in August 2006. That’s almost one year since their star shone the brightest that night in The Max Pavilion. Their debut album would be released in December 2006, we were told. It wasn’t.

And now, finally, it’s on the shelves. Their eponymous album features nine tracks, three of which were written - both lyrics and melody - and played by the three boys themselves: Lei, Shi Ying and Get Alive; while Project SuperStar 1’s Hagen Tan composed and wrote Wo Wei Shen Me Hai Ai Ni, and Project SuperStar 2’s Zhang Lesheng penned the lyrics to two songs So Sad and Bai Wan Bao, the theme song to the Channel 8 drama A Million Treasures. The album also contained their rocked-up cover of Fish Leong’s Yong Qi, first released in the SuperBand compilation album in September 2006.

The album is a mixture of mild rock songs, sentimental ballads and one cheesy Thai dancey tune that’s so reminiscent of The Grasshoppers in their heyday. Still, the songs unwittingly leave an imprint on my mind, each time deeper as my Windows Media Player looped the tracks. The two main singers, Nic Lee for the fast songs and Sam Wong for the slow ones, also charm with their youthful edginess and soft soulful singing respectively. The boys claimed to be learning from each other to become all-rounders.

In the one year that has passed, releasing their debut album isn’t the only milestone in their lives. Nic has finished his Basic Military Training (BMT) and is now in the Music and Drama Company doing mostly singing and dancing; Weiqi is enrolled in Nanyang Technological University studying in the School of Art, Design and Media; and Sam, having finished his National Service, is indulging in the life of full-time musician.

In our exclusive video interview with MiLu Bing last week, we learned more about their album and their lives…




The song ‘Lei’ (Tears) comes from Weiqi’s experience?

Which parts of their lives do they want to document in a song? (How the song Get Alive came about and the deeper meaning behind it.)

Fans coming to school to look for Weiqi…

Are they worried that their star power has diminished and that nobody will come to their signing sessions?

Any competitive feelings among the boys? What’s the best present they received? And we learn that Weiqi will eat food even from strangers!

The scariest part about the album preparation…

Their memories on filming their MV

Parts about being an artiste that they’re not used to…

They won viewers and judges over with their many ‘patterns’ (gimmicks) during the competition; so what ‘pattern’ do they have to surprise us this time round?

Do they argue? Will MiLu Bing break up?
