老虎牙子 Laohuyatzi, frog in a sock and ICRT: Battle of the Bands Kick Off Party @ Havana 14 with i.o band, Soup Mother, Cindy is Falling and HIGH TIDE (with special appearance by劉伊心) + hip-hop afterparty at Room 18
Well, well, well. That was a doozie! After spending two hours getting ready in the morning, right at noon, the rain started and it looked like a typhoon might hit.
Should we cancel the party was the discussion and then a very nice thing happened. The rain stopped and people started to show up and have a blast. Great sets were played by the gorgeous Alley Cat, Riva, Double G and of course, Junior. Thanks to all those who came out even when it was looking doubtful. You are what helps us get through these crazy times. The typhoons will eventually leave us alone, right?
There are only four parties left, so hurry out and tell your friends!
Well, this week we are working in coordination with ICRT and Laohu Yatzi to bring the Battle of the Bands kick off party with four of the best bands Taiwan has to offer.
i.o band (2009 Battle of the bands winner)
Largely considered the first modern rock band in Chinese Asia, there is a uniqueness to IO’s sound that can only come from experiencing the best of both worlds as part of their Taiwanese-Canadian upbringing. With a combination of Mando-pop melodies and Western rock elements in songs that convey hope, faith and love, the band’s message is simple: Follow your heart and dream big. Just like IO.
Soup Mother
Soup Mother is a collective of some of the finest musicians in Taipei. A guaranteed good time that will have you tapping your feet in 7/8 in no time.
Cindy is Falling (2014 Battle of the Bands winner)
厚重的吉他音牆結合搖滾味十足的狂野女聲
碰上了激烈拍點與電気噪音的硬地曲風
由神棍樂團吉他手阿佑
與扎一針樂團鼓手LOGO發起組成
後續加入BASS手小嗨與瘋狂女孩CINDY
High Tide (2008 Battle of the Bands winner)
It’s been quite a while since High Tide has played a show in Taiwan so it’s very special for High Tide to come out of retirement and play a reunion show. It’s going to be a nice way to end the evening.
