Please enjoy the site on tumblr, because all of the formatting that looks weird here makes more sense over there. =D
You can also listen to the music player, trying out many C-indies:

Just wanted to let you know that I ran out of uploading space in this free wordpress account. So my backups to wp will have to cease.
However, the tumblr mothership is still going strong! CLICK THIS>> F Yeah Chinese Indie

Just saw these photos posted by Schrödinger’s Cat 薛丁格的貓. They have a new ep coming and they play at Riverside Music Cafe tomorrow night with 徐行 Cruising. If you’ll recall, they were a 6-piece band with female vocals (張郁平 Yu Ping Chang) and 愛莉鵝 Ariel Lee on keys/violin. Now the girls are literally out of the picture, and the band […]
怕胖團 Pa Pun played a semi-unplugged set at Moon Romantic, part of a second-hand market + music show. It was a 2-day event called Freak’s Market, put on by Door Cat Records. (a few bands played each day)
I think this song is gonna be on the new Pa Pun album. There are clips of them trying to record the vocals for this at fb. (Punk rock looks so easy on stage, LOL)
江婕羽 YT channel has the full set, plus clips from some of the other bands. Here’s a cute song from 小捲+泰泰 of Tomodachi 偷摸大雞 樂團:
Tomodachi have not been very active lately, I’m not seeing any full band gigs from them since December.
As long as we’re mentioning Cherie Ko’s myriad activities (see previous post), let’s hear a gorgeous cover of a Faye Wong classic!
As I recall, singing in Chinese was a rarity for her; most of her covers are American/British indie rock and shoegaze/dreampop.

Pochang Wu (吳柏蒼) [主唱 at 回聲樂團 (Echo), Works at StreetVoice 街聲, CEO & Founder at iNDIEVOX] announced last night that he resigned from iNDIEVOX/StreetVoice.
There’s a very long post at fb detailing the history of the organizations and his role. iNDIEVOX is so important to the TW indie scene!! (Can’t overstate that!)
This is kind of a shock; especially after Echo band went on hiatus, I figured he would expand his involvement.
If the Taipei Times still ran music features, we might get some background on this. (in English)
Head over to StreetVoice to hear a lovely cover of 猛虎巧克力 Chocolate Tiger’s 不再是少年, performed by 瑪啡因 Maffine & 椅子 Chairs’ at The Wall last month, here are photos from that gig: soundcheck and crowd selfie:
Heavenly queen Faye Wong is busy dating and in no hurry to make an album. Instead, at the rate of one new single per year, she has slowly fed the fans ears. Following the release of “Gentle Breeze” last year, after a year of waiting, she brings out new work again with “Dust”. With Zhang Yadong as composer and her own lyrics creating a floating and ethereal atmosphere which has always been the heavenly queen’s musical style.
In the past, Faye Wong and Zhang Yadong have collaborated many times with “Restless”, “Only Love Strangers”, “To Love”, “You’re Happy So I’m Happy”, “Chanel”, “Leave Nothing” and many other classics. He is also the best at understanding Faye Wong’s sound, his avant-garde arrangements bring out the heavenly queen’s charming and irreplaceable voice. Following their collaboration on 2014’s “One Step Away”, he is producing for her once again on “Dust”. After many years, Faye also personally wrote lyrics, revealing her inner self as dust, randomly drifting. The song is already online, the cover is a self-taken picture directly from her camera, which is quite the heavenly queen’s straightforward style.
In early June, it was revealed that Faye will hold a concert in December in Shanghai. But the ticket prices are quite astonishing. Reportedly the highest asking price 6800 yuan is the most expensive but yet to be confirmed. But what is almost confirmed is that there will be a chance to hear Faye’s golden voice. In addition, it has been 13 years without an official release of her album, but over the years there has been an accumulation of singles and movie theme songs. Many fans look forward to a compilation. But in accordance with the heavenly queen’s style, whether it will happen is difficult to determine.

Listen to: and paint our pupils with the ashes by tfvsjs
The new tfvsjs album 在 zoi came out 2 weeks ago, and you can hear 3 of the 10 songs at bandcamp, also available to purchase. Mighty math rock from Hong Kong! =D
The band are gonna cover a lot of miles on this tour, beginning with Summer Sonic in Tokyo on August 20th:
They play Taiwan Taipei The Wall 8/27. 淺堤 shallow levée have been invited to open – drummer Tu Chia-Chin 涂嘉欽 must be busy then with Elephant Gym, as they announce that 黃堂軒 Sam Huang from Gigantic Roar will be filling in.
Very early warning for Little Taiwan Calling 呼叫音樂節 fest in HK. After months of posting event information/tix info, they finally announced a couple of the bands who will appear: 大象體操 Elephant Gym and 落日飛車 Sunset Rollercoaster
1:15 am my time (2:15 pm TW time) The only thing that is working is the chat over at YouTube, but they just announced Gigantic Roar is about to start. =D
WATCH the live stream AT YT. Very high quality, looks and sounds great!
Astro Bunny just started at 3:05 TW time. (or maybe they just switched the YT feed over to a different stage where Astro Bunny is already in progress)
