衣湿乐队

衣湿乐队 (Yishi Band) is a Sichuanese folk-rock crew that’s been spicing up the Chinese music scene with their irreverent humor and genre-blending sound since forming around 2010. Founded by veterinarian-turned-frontman Youmiao and teacher-turned-multi-instrumentalist Lin Qiong, the band mashes traditional Sichuan opera, punk energy, and tongue-in-cheek lyrics delivered in their signature local dialect. Their name—literally "Wet Clothes"—hints at their playful approach, often weaving everyday life observations into satirical bangers that feel like a rowdy night at a Chengdu street stall.

Known for albums like *神怪辞典Ⅱ* (*Mythical Dictionary II*) and tracks such as *龙门阵* (*Dragon Gate Array*) and *把把烧* (*Skewer Grill*), they’ve built a cult following for turning skewer-eating sessions and teahouse gossip into anthems. Whether they’re riffing on social quirks or revamping folk tales with rock riffs, 衣湿 keeps their sound rooted in Sichuan’s flavors while staying unapologetically cheeky. Just don’t expect a dry shirt by the end of their set.
