History

«The Amazing Insurance Salesmen» is a band lead by French man Zhang Si'an, with « Free the birds » drummer Maomao from China and bass player Maikel from Holland.

The band plays original experimental music and songs inspired by bands such as Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jimi Hendrix and music genres like Jazz, Blues, Bossa nova, Fusion, Classical music etc...

The band formed in the summer of 2009, when French singer Zhang Si'an was looking for a way to go back to rock music after ten years of playing folk music, chinese inspired folk songs and Jazz. He asked two of the best musicians in Beijing to join him in a journey to create a new experimental rock sound.

The music of the band is very unique in Beijing. It flows between short melodic punk-rock songs and long instrumental guitar driven progressive rock improvisations sounding like David Gilmour and Carlos Santana.

The band has and still is playing in Beijing’s most famous venues such as 2Kolegas, Mao livehouse, Yugongyishan, the What Bar, D22, Club 13 etc...

The band also played in music festivals including the Beijing Haidian Park festival and the Beijing Nanluoguxiang festival.

« The Amazing Insurance Salesmen » are currently recording their first demo, which should be available in a few months.

《保险超人乐队》:

《保险超人乐队》是一只由法国人张思安为主唱的乐队，乐队中还有中国鼓手毛毛，来自荷兰贝斯手麦克（Maikel）。

这支乐队演奏原创实验音乐和歌曲，受到Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jimi Hendrix等知名国际乐队的启发，其音乐形式融合爵士、布鲁斯、巴赛诺娃，混合，古典等风格。

乐队成立于2009年夏天。在花了十年时间演奏民谣音乐（尤其是中国民谣）和爵士后，法国主唱张思安开始了寻找一条回归摇滚乐的道路。他邀请了北京两位最优秀的音乐人去共同创建一只新的实验摇滚乐队。

该乐队的音乐在北京独树一帜。其音乐风格介于Blues摇滚与吉他演奏曲(受即兴激进摇滚驱使.类似David Gilmour and Carlos Santana的音乐形式)之间。

这支乐队一直在北京最知名酒吧演出，如2Kolegas, Mao livehouse, 愚公移山, What酒吧, D22, Club 13等。

保险超人乐队最近正在录制他们的首份音乐小样，将会在近几个月与大家见面。
