New York City has long been one of the leading centers of indie music movement.  Within it, Taiwanese musicians are also in the scene making music and hoping one day in reaching to the top. 

 

Last year, the local Taiwanese communities held a concert named “Hello Taiwan Rocks!” in the Taiwan Center located in Flushing New York with four Taiwanese indie-bands based in the Greater New York area.   The concert provided a platform for the bands to perform while the fans got to listen to many amazing Taiwanese bands perform for a night of rock-and-roll, a cultural night to be remembered together before the Thanksgiving festivities.

 

Following rave reviews and feedback from last year’s audience, this year brings another line up of four terrific bands.  They are Coda Resistance, Bikini Carwash, Exit Clov and Torpid May.  Taiwan Beer is onboard as a sponsor, an appropriate match to the event.

 

The Admission for “Hello Taiwan Rocks!” concert is only $8 when pre-purchase online before 11/18 midnight with fast admission and $10 at the door.  Doors open at 7:00PM.  Taiwan Center is located on 137-44 Northern Blvd, Flushing, NY 11354.

第二屆「喂台灣!搖滾音樂會」將於11月19日(周六) 晚間7:30時到11時在法拉盛台灣會館舉辦。敬請大家告訴大家,相招來參加。當天7:00入場,每人10元, 也可網上預購每人$8。網址如下:http://www.asianinny.com/?p=14535

四個樂團的背景都富有特色。是新生代樂團中的佼佼者,近年來均活躍於紐約樂壇。

 

Coda Resistance-由曾在活躍在台灣的廢物樂團安德魯及DJ小四與友人所組成。屆於主流曼哈頓及時髦的布魯克林之間,混合了龐克及搖滾和有社會意識的歌詞,時時提醒大家為何自我出賣靈魂。

 

Exit Clov-成員來自華府及紐約,是一組傳統的五人獨立搖滾樂團。自2003年成軍以來已發展出富有流行及不拘一格的多元特色,吸引人的女聲及琴弦的旋律更是富有穿透 性。目前Exit Clov已出版了四張EP及一首單曲。而主唱的雙胞胎姐妹曾在88水災時在Youtube上以一首「愛拼才會贏」募款,獲得好評。

 

Torpid May-成立於2009年的紐約市。樂團的音樂融合了流行、Grunge、噪音、龐克和氛圍搖滾的元素,曲風中帶著沉重旋律感,迷幻幽暗中帶著剛烈。於2011年秋天獨立製作發行了第一張EP。

 

Bikini Carwash-本質是個希望讓大家都高興的老式搖滾樂團。他們專長於會令人歡笑及搖晃屁股的歡樂暴音及龐克流行。此五人樂團的宗旨就是人生苦短,如要做音樂,何不充滿趣味?此團將會把你塗滿泡沫再用水管沖擊!吉他手Andy小時來美,但在一次返台參加「春吶」之後,開始重新發現自己與台灣的關係。他也在今年擔任了Passport to Taiwan的主持人。

 

主辦單位希望透過「喂台灣!搖滾音樂會」,讓台灣人社區新生代有更多的交流機會。同時也希望每年固定在感恩節前周末舉行,讓此音樂會可以變成一年一度的大盛事。
