< Epik High > Mirri Christmas? Party

타블로가 날짜를 잘못 잡은 크리스마스 파티
The 'Tablo Picked The Wrong Date' Christmas Party

November 21, 2008 Friday @ Hongdae Club Museum
FEATURING Epik High
WITH SPECIAL GUESTS Buga Kingz & TBNY

2004년부터 Epik High의 이름으로 서울과 부산에서 매년 열리고 있는 파티. 압구정동, 워커힐, 부산 해운대를 거쳐 이번엔 홍대다.
Ever since 2004, Epik High has lived up to its loaded name by taking their annual party express from Seoul to Busan and back again, with all-night hip-hop stopovers in Apkujeong, Walker Hill, Hyundae Beach, and now...Hongdae.  

대중과 가장 가까이서 만날 수 있는 1년에 단 한번의 기회이다. 매년 Epik High의 기발한 아이디어로 매번 다른 이벤트를 준비하는 Epik High는 올해에는 스쿨룩이라는 컨셉으로 여러분을 기다린다.

A once a year, up close and personal, band to fan ritual, Epik High has always prepped an unconventional, off the hook party theme. And this year is no exception -- the 'School Look' is now in session.

옷, 소품, 액세서리도 상관없다. 그날은 학창시절의 친구로 돌아가 즐기면 된다. 이번에도 Epik High와의 만남이 즐거울 수 밖에 없다.

The gear, the uniforms, the accessories -- all of it and none of it matters. For one night only, bring your crew and bring back the old school jams with the one and only, Epik High!

정기공연과 달리 같이 춤추고 같이 마시며 함께 즐길 수 있는 자리를 1년 동안 기다려온 Epik High는 여러분과의 만남을 위해 좋은 음악을 같이 공유할 친구까지 이 파티에 초대했다.

Part live concert, part dance party, pure detention-worthy debauchery -- Epik High cordially invites you as their very special guests to this annual, exclusive, music event.

Epik High의 작은 바램은 미리 크리스마스 파티는 공연장에서의 일방적인 관람에서 벗어나 조금이라도 여러분들과 가까이서 함께 즐기기를 원한다. 두 번에 걸친 공연도 있긴 하지만, 이날은 Epik High와의 작은 파티라는 생각으로 스스로 즐길 수 있는 자리이길 원한다.

Mirri Christmas…..^^

발표하는 앨범마다 센세이션을 불러 일으켜왔던 'Epik High’.

Another new release, another new sensation -- Epik High

최 근 발표한 소품집 ‘Lovescream'의 타이틀 곡 ‘1분 1초’가 온?오프라인에서 큰 사랑을받음과 동시에 타블로의 첫 소설집 <당신의 조각들>까지 서점가에서 화제를 뿌리고 있다. 이들이 대중에게 보여주는 하나하나는 오늘날 큰 이슈를 만들고 있으며, 이 여새를 몰아 그들이 선보이는 타블로가 잘못잡은 Epik High 미리 크리스마스 파티는 그들을 사랑하는 팬들에게 크나 큰 미리크리스마스 선물이 될 것이다. 

A chart-topping EP...‘Lovescream’. A smash hit single...‘1 Minute 1 Second’. And Tablo, no less, a best-selling book...‘Pieces of You’. With so much going right, how did he get the date so wrong?

A vinyl archeologist who excavates rare, indigenous beats, he delivers a groovy bi-bim-bop mix of old school Korean rock, soul, disco, and boogaloo served sizzling hot in a funky, fresh hip-hop style. A favorite among clubbers and critics alike, DJ Soulscape has been nominated as the Crossover Artist of the Year at the Korea Music Awards (2003) and honored as the creative genius behind one of the top 100 K-Pop Albums of the 20th Century (2008).  In between his gigs as a producer and performer, he also moonlights as one of Seoul's top party promoters, music columnists, and radio show hosts.

VJ Kwon

A pioneering icon in Korea’s visual jockey circuit, VJ Kwon is a versatile motion graphics designer/live action director whose dynamic, kitschy chic style has taken him from the underground clubs to the mainstream cinemas.  Known for his sensational local performances with superstar DJs such as Sasha, Paul Van Dyk, and James Lavelle, he emerged as a star in his own right after collecting numerous awards and accolades at various international film festivals (Resfest Seoul 2002/2003, LA Shortsfest 2003, Japan Skipcity Festival 2004).

Welcome To The Wonderland

(SEOUL KR) Fresh off the success of producing Asian pop superstar, Rain, legendary Korean artist/producer Jin-Young Park (JYP) jumped into his next major project, his first ever girl group -- the Wonder Girls.

Carefully selected and specially trained under his highly disciplined, highly effective, JYP Entertainment system, the multi-talented Wonder Girls debuted in February 2007 with their mini-album, ‘The Wonder Begins’. Thanks to their smash hit song, the catchy hip-hop dance track, ‘Irony’, the Wonder Girls immediately made their mark on the K-Pop scene as new artists to watch.

But with the September 2007 release of their first studio album,‘The Wonder Years’, the Wonder Girls broke out big time with their breakthrough, chart-topping single, ‘Tell Me’. Fueled by a retro electro 80s vibe, ‘Tell Me’ sparked a nationwide Wonder Girls craze that had fans of all ages and from all walks of life -- students, stewardesses, policemen, pro athletes, celebrities, drag queens -- creating thousands of viral ‘Tell Me’ dance videos.

Emerging as one of Korea’s best-selling and most popular acts of 2007/2008, the Wonder Girls have been embraced as the nation’s sweet little sisters. And with their high-profile forays into acting, modeling, and TV show hosting, the Wonder Girls are now widely regarded as Korea’s top female K-Pop group.

Setting their sights internationally in 2008/2009, the Wonder Girls are prepping to bring their wonderful, wonderland adventures across Asia and into America.
