微酸瑪莉

【關於樂團】喜歡爵士和弦中帶著跳舞律動，以「Acid Marie」隱喻酸澀人生，有點酸、有點苦澀，甚至有點憂鬱沈重，卻依然在微酸生活中作樂。13 種人生、9 種樂器、4 種嗓音，我們都是生活中的 Marie，彷彿這繁複社會中的縮影，平凡卻又努力，添上爵士、放克、拉丁、靈魂、迪斯可等元素，再現 19 世紀大樂團時代之感動，譜曲 Acid Jazz，攪拌酸甜。「微酸瑪莉 Acid Marie」於 2011 年由鼓手──晏騰與貝斯手──芳成在台北醫學大學就學期間創立，並於完成招募吉他手、鍵盤手與主唱──瑪莉之後，以樂團名稱「瑪莉與樂手 Maire Mucici」進行活動。活動初期以翻唱 Incognito、Tower of Power、Stevie Wonder、Jamiroquai⋯⋯等樂團歌曲及類似風格歌曲為主。2012 年因樂團人事更迭，迎來新任鍵盤手──貞吟以及吉他手──Jimmy，開始了創作歌曲製作與發表；同年，為了更能表達樂團風格，正式更名為「微酸瑪莉 Acid Marie」。2013 年，除了新增鍵盤手──庭宜，微酸瑪莉亦陸續招募新樂手以完整樂團編制，包括 3 位和聲──喻柔、Ggs、Rita 與 3 位管樂手──偉弘（薩克斯風與長笛）、夏威夷 （小號）、Amy （長號），其中 Rita 亦同時加入歌曲創作行列。2015 年 10 月，樂團創作核心人物之 ──Jimmy，面臨了突如其來的變故，這場變故使他因此歷經多次複雜手術，樂團也陷入停團危機。亦因主唱──瑪莉即將生產，故於同年 11 月進行了暫別演出。2018 年，在 Jimmy 多次勤勉的復健下，即便暫時無法像過去彈奏吉他，卻仍能憑藉著對生活以及音樂的熱情，以令所有復健師驚訝的進步速度，作為音樂顧問的角色回歸微酸瑪莉。當年 8 月，在招募樂團多年吉他手好友──BoBo 成為正式團員後，舉辦了賦歸演唱。回想創團至今歷經的 8 個年頭，疊加著團員們身上所累積的故事，作為人生中的里程碑，即使早已想到會遇到種種困難，仍於 2018 年 12 月決定並開始籌備，將至今所累計的創作歌曲製作為 EP、單曲和專輯，把微酸瑪莉的故事濃縮並提煉在作品裡。【關於專輯】「不酸，就不叫生活。」不僅僅是我們的故事，歌曲中帶出每一種「對生活的浪漫」，想表達的意境、聲音都由此出發，只要願意感受，就能將你的微酸心情刷上搖擺節奏，讓每個人的微酸生活都能回甘清晰。曲目介紹：#1〈大人的世界 Adult World〉「他們是上流人士，　他們尋求刺激的遊戲，　金錢、財富，　是他們的籌碼。　他們握有權力，　他們野心勃勃，　他們一擲千金，　他們所費不貲。　在紙醉金迷裡，　譜出動人的樂章，　淬鍊成一場華麗的、大人的世界。」──王俊驊 Jimmy #2〈Sorry and Thanks〉 「不好意思說『我不想看到你』，　所以，只好說『謝謝，和抱歉』。」 ──陳貞吟#3〈Release〉「一股腦埋進繁忙的日子，　任由都會的緊湊步調，　不停、不停打轉⋯⋯　久了，是不是卻好像忘了怎麼歇息？　Pause！昂起頭聆聽一首歌，　用簡單的儀式，　讓心靈瞬間移動進入充電區，沈澱。　於是，這瞬間，　什麼都不要去在乎。」──黃釥銓 Rita#4〈Beloved Place〉「走吧，去山脊的另一邊。　忘記打包，帶上夥伴，繞過海灣。　在施了魔法的綠色小徑、金針花海裡。　方向不重要，時間也不要緊。　來跳舞吧！口裡哼著、腳步跟著。　來跳舞吧！和石龍子還有長吻松鼠的律動一起。　隨著花香四溢，我們也被圈進魔法結界裡。　你臉頰紅通通，張開雙手親吻霧氣。　我用力吸吐陽光氣息，還有你眼裡堆滿的笑意。　So beloved, this place.　And also you and me.」──陳貞吟#5〈需要浪漫 Romance (Percussion Ver.)〉「樂曲中的旋律、節奏、器樂聲響不斷交疊，　呈現五光十色的意象，描繪出城市裡人們每日緊湊的姿態⋯⋯　大街依然熱鬧、人群照樣喧嘩，行進的節奏不曾緩過。　向前踩 ¼ 步， 閃進平行時空；倒退踏 ¾ 步，卻接上昨日午後的大雨⋯⋯　生活像攤開來的行事曆，字跡滿滿沒有縫隙。　It's living，更需要用浪漫去堆砌自己的樹狀圖，　以多樣的面貌調和出一份精彩，屬於城市中靈魂的藏身之處。」──黃釥銓 Rita #6〈活著 Still Alive〉「同樣的雨中午後，　他倚窗嬌坐與金絲三層架上馬卡龍打卡；　她囚等枯望燈號暗下任憑白袍宣判生死存亡。　2012 年當下，只剩軀殼庸碌糊塗。　沒有戰亂烽火，沒有飢餓傷亡。　『明明過很爽，有什麼好不滿？』　只要不看、不聽、不說、不想，　抹除任何期待，停止所有想像，　為了生存，一點都不難。　一點，都不難⋯⋯」──陳貞吟#7〈Belief〉「Belief 的誕生，　源自於看到險惡的環境下，　第一線醫護堅守崗位的艱辛身影，　總覺得該做點甚麼。　Belief，　描述著無力感與希望交織，　我們或許能改變甚麼。　Belief，　是一種信念，　是不變的理想，　是為人不知的，美麗與哀愁。」──王俊驊 Jimmy#8〈A Night in Taipei〉「九點半　在月光下的台北很燦爛　品嘗靜謐的夜晚　『來點酒吧。』　回過神來　我已經在酒吧裡　隨著酒杯的碰撞　沉浸在音樂裡　以及醉後的迷濛　漸漸的　甚麼都不記得了⋯⋯」──王俊驊 Jimmy本作品獲文化部影視及流行音樂產業局 109 年補助Like rhythm in the jazz chords,Life is a pinch of sour and bitterness, even a taste of melancholy, but the slight acid brings out the fun of the journey.We are all Marie in life, ordinary and hardworking, composing Acid Jazz with stirring sour and sweetness.

At early stage, the band performed cover versions of Incognito, Tower of Power, Stevie Wonder, Jamiroquai and mainly other songs with similar styles. In 2012, due to personal changes of members, the band welcomed new keyboardist Chen-Yin and guitarist Jimmy started composing and producing their own works.

And the lead singer Marie was about to give birth, therefore the band held a temporary farewell performance in November. In 2018, Jimmy achieved a remarkable recovery during rehabilitation relying on his passion towards life and music. His recovery surprised all of the rehab physicians and even though he couldn't play the guitar like he used to, but was able to rejoin 'Acid Marie' as a consultant.
