2 songs from Frandé 法蘭黛樂團’s set at Wake Up Fest last weekend.
You may notice a different bass player in this clip: that is 郭晉宏 (郭宏). I don’t have a current fb page for their regular bassist Che-Yu Hsu 許哲毓 (Levon Hsu), but in any case, I haven’t seen him in any Frandé clips or photos since January, I think.
I wonder if he went abroad?
This is gonna appeal mostly to gear heads like myself, but anyway… Zorn from Blow media interviews Che-Yu Hsu (許哲毓), bassist for Tizzy Bac, Frandé 法蘭黛樂團, and Green!Eyes
Lots of photos of his basses and fx pedals, and detailed discussion of his Tizzy Bac rig. 3 different bands; and his sound/style with Frandé & Green!Eyes is more traditional when compared to the aggressive role he has in Tizzy Bac:
My favorite Tizzy Bac song: 鐵之貝克. =D
The audio is mostly stage (instruments/amps) volume, that’s why the vocal seems low. But that bass rig sounds great! I wonder why Huiting keeps glancing over towards that side of the stage…?

Here we have Frandé (法蘭黛樂團) taking part in some Summer Super Slippa promo.
All of the bands taking part in the fest (summer weekends) make a few videos: a couple of announcements of their show date, and one like this video, where they take humorous rapid-fire questions.
If you follow this clip back to YT, you can look at the playlist of festival acts. Keep in mind that the fest is mostly over by now.
I think it’s a nice way to get a view of the band letting their guard down. And for a band with a somewhat serious image, *cough* Frandé *cough*, I appreciate getting to see some laughs and band camaraderie. =D

You may already know that Fran has assembled an all-star band, but anyway from left to right:
Bass player: 許哲毓 Levon Hsu (Tizzy Bac, Green!Eyes)
Drummer: 吳孟諺 Meng Yen/John Wu (Shimmering Islands (fr. Sugar Plum Ferry) , ex-Miss Stocking, ex-Bearbabes)
Vocal: Fran Fran aka Miss Fran.
Guitarist: 昆蟲白 ‘Insecteens’ (Shimmering Islands, Miss Stockings, Silver Bus, Guirum / 吉朗二重奏, Tin Pan Alley / 錫盤街)
Guitarist: 江鎮宇 (My 8 Day Weekend, ex-Mrs.This)
Insecteens was the last member to join Frandé, when they expanded to 5 piece.

Green!Eyes played an ‘acoustic’ gig at Legacy mini, getting some help from Yuchain’s side project Moonteg. (bass player Hung-li Chen and keyboardist Jed Kuo)
The first half was devoted to Moonteg songs, and the latter half Green!Eyes songs. Really, as much a Moonteg gig as a Green!Eyes gig.
You see 2 bass players in this clip: Levon Hsu (Tizzy Bac, Frandé, Green!Eyes) is playing lower register, while Hung-li is doing the more melodic bass parts)
By the way, you can hear the full ensemble of Moonteg at bandcamp. Drummer Agoo Lu, violinist ChangLee Yi-chun, cellist Moon Chou and keyboardist Shao Hsiang “Gump” Wang have all played with Green!Eyes.
Gonna post some Moonteg next…

Crowd shot from the No Nukes! Long Play! festival on Saturday.
The only peeps I recognize in this shot are Hui-Ting (front-right), Chien-yuan Lin & Levon Hsu (partially screened behind the banner) from Tizzy Bac
I think that banner is a promo for the next protest event on March 8th.
