Why are they called "Secondhand Roses"?

Because "Second Hand Rose" is a band that combines elements of northeastern Chinese opera and folk music with rock and roll, creating an unprecedented style of music.

Lead singer Liang Long borrowed from the Chinese opera style of performance, dressing up as a woman, wearing heavy makeup, glaring and cutting his teeth, or laughing and flirting. His fluent crosstalk and music are perfectly connected, and his knitted brows and smile are so accurate that he was once described by the audience as "Chinese opera has finally found a way to modernize".

The Second Hand Roses, a rock band from mainland China, was founded in 1999. Since its inception, the band has taken "insisting on making rock music with Chinese characteristics" as its aim, and has grafted the musical elements of Northeast Chinese folk music with modern rock music without revealing anything. Their exaggerated performances and stage styling, playful lyrics, and fantastical use of folk music make up Secondhand Rose's unique band style.

The Second Hand Roses released their first self-titled album "Second Hand Roses" in January 2003, and their second album "Entertainment in the Jungle" in 2006, and their EP "Love Child" in May 2009, and their album "Out of the Cage, Heavy Sound" in July 2012.

August 2013, released the album "A Single Branch" and released in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, at the same time, held the Secondhand Rose world tour. 2016 January, in Beijing 798 Art District Asian Art Works Gallery successfully held a multi-media interactive exhibition of the Secondhand Rose unit, "allow some artists to get rich first," the independent music and contemporary art fusion presentation.

The Used Roses are no longer the young band that played sheet music wrongly, nor are they just "a band with a good concept" as Cui Jian puts it.

Over the years, they were born in the era of demo music, broke through in the era of heavy metal, and broke into the era of entertainment on their own, and they treat their users and performances extremely seriously, and each member of the group has a level of 6 to the point of being unable to do so, and Liang Long will pull the flag to play the "second-hand village" operation.

Seventeen years ago, people knew about Used Rose, and in another 20 years, people may have forgotten "Miss Dong" and "the brightest star in the night sky", but people will never forget "Big Brother, you play rock, you play it for what? What's the point of playing it?" The company's website is a great source of information about the company's products and services.

Today, The Used Roses have become more involved in cross-border cooperation, launching rock exhibitions, art collaborations and other projects, becoming a cultural symbol.
