Lovebugs

瑞士最受歡迎的搖滾天團－愛情病毒 Lovebugs，紅遍歐洲13國。一如許多樂團的成名故事一般，愛情病毒樂團起始于一卷錄音帶。主唱亞卓安（Adrian）參加歌唱競賽并進入決選，之后組團、獲得發(fā)片機會。熱力十足的愛情病毒樂團，終于讓主流廠牌注意到他們優(yōu)異的表現(xiàn)，先后與德國BMG、瑞士華納簽約，發(fā)行專輯，并在歐洲13國的公信榜上有著相當不錯的成績。 除此之外，愛情病毒樂團也展現(xiàn)了搖滾樂團有稜有角的個性，由于主流唱片強勢主導的專輯銷售不如預期，讓團員毅然決然的解除合約，作自己的音樂；在隨后發(fā)行的專輯里，深刻反省自己的音樂之路，但過于叛逆的歌詞，引起瑞士媒體及當局的關注，甚至不惜更改各排行榜的名次，但愛情病毒樂團以超過4萬人的演唱會展現(xiàn)他們受歡迎的程度。 After breaking through to mainstream success in 1996 with their self-titled album, the Lovebugs were one of Switzerland's leading bands, performing English-language alternative rock inspired primarily by classic American and British pop/rock of the 1970s (e.g., Neil Young), '80s (e.g., the Cure), and '90s (e.g., $Nirvana). Initially a trio, the Basel-based band grew to become essentially a vehicle for singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Adrian Sieber (aka ADRIAN|SOLO).|THE|LADRIAN|SOLO).|THE|LAdrian Solo). |REACThe Lovebugs reached number one on the Swiss charts for the first time with their 2001 album .|THEN,|AAwaydays. Then, after some bandmember reshuffling and the relatively disappointing album 13|SONGS|WITH|A|VIEW|13 Songs with a View (2003), |RETUthe Lovebugs returned to the top of the Swiss charts with their albums |(2005)|AND|Naked (2005) and In Every Waking Moment (2006). A couple years later |WENT|SOLO|Sieber went solo with ,|A|TOAdrian Solo, a Top Ten hit that showcased his songwriting and musical ability. $|1SIEBER,|BORN|SIEBER,|BORN|ADSieber, born Adrian Benjamin Sieber on July 6, 1972, in Basel, Switzerland, co-founded |IN|1the Lovebugs in 1992 with bassist Sebastian Hausmann and a drummer named .|FOLLOWING|Julie. Following a couple independent releases, FLUFF|(1994)|AND|TAFLUFF|(1994)|AND|TAFluff (1994) and $|2TART|(1995),|TART|(1995),|THTart (1995), |FIRSthe Lovebugs first charted in 1996 with their self-titled album, a Top 50 entry. The album's lead single, "Fantastic," became something of a breakthrough hit, though it didn't chart nationally; "Marilyn," "Fingers and Thumbs," and "Angel Heart" were also released as singles, the latter of the three becoming a Top 40 hit. The next $|1LOVEBUGS|ALBUM,|Lovebugs album, Transatlantic Flight (2000), debuted on the Swiss albums chart at number three. The album's lead single, "Under My Skin," released in late 1999, was a Top 20 hit; "Bitter Moon" and "Wall of Sound" were also released as singles. Clearly a popular band by this point, |TOPPthe Lovebugs topped the Swiss albums chart with their successive release, |(2001),|Awaydays (2001), which spawned the hit singles "Music Makes My World Go Round" (number 16) and "Coffee and Cigarettes" (number 46). In the wake of this chart-topping success, bassist and LOVEBUGS|CO-FOUNDER|Lovebugs co-founder Sebastian Hausmann left to form his own band, Fucking Beautiful; he was replaced by bassist FLORIAN|SENN|AND|KEYBFlorian Senn and keyboardist ,|LEStefan Wagner, leaving |THE|ONLY|FSieber the only founding member. Other bandmembers include guitarist THOMAS|RECHBERGER|(WHThomas Rechberger (who joined the band in 1998) and drummer |(JSimon Ramseier (joined in 1994). The new $Lovebugs lineup made its recording debut on the 2002 one-off single "Flavour of the Day," a Top 30 hit. The subsequent full-length album, ^13 Songs with a View (2003), was a relative disappointment, however, charting at number seven and spawning only the minor hit "A Love Like Tides" (number 63). $The Lovebugs then returned to the top of the Swiss albums chart in 2005 with the live "unplugged" album ^Naked and then again in 2006 with the studio album ^In Every Waking Moment; the latter album spawned a pair of major hits, "The Key" (number 17) and "Avalon" (featuring $Lene Marlin; number ten), and reclaimed the band's position atop the Swiss alternative rock scene. In 2008 $Sieber made his solo recording debut, adopting the pseudonym $Adrian Solo and releasing a self-titled full-length album. $Sieber played all the instruments on the album -- drums, bass, guitar, synthesizer, piano, beats -- and wrote all the songs. More experimental than his $Lovebugs work and a bit less popular overall, ^Adrian Solo spawned a couple hits ("The Healing," "If You Just Knew...") and peaked at number six on the Swiss albums chart.
