I have a feeling today's entry is going to be a short one - not because I'm tired or disinterested, it's just that I can't read Chinese. The problem with liking music from different countries is that there isn't always a lot of English information available. This is especially frustrating when you are trying to create written bio's on bands for a blog. Oh, how I rue the day I decided to find out who's hot in Taiwan.
The Taiwanese Sodagreen, formed in April, 2001 by vocalist (Greeny) Qingfeng together with his older brother on guitar, is an indie pop combo with a light rock sound. While emerging from indie backgrounds, Sodagreen has received wide spread success for their unique style. They usually play at more upscale venues around Taipei city including Stage 19. They have also released several CDs on major labels. The members are Kay and A-ful on guitar, Claire on bass, Wei on drums, Zephyr on viola and piano, and Greeny as the vocalist.
Today's video is from Sodagreen's second single off their 2005 self-titled CD. The video immediately invokes for me memories of playing side-scrollers and shooters on my 8-bit Nintendo. It's a warm, cute little song that I enjoy listening to every once in a while when I'm at work.
There is nothing in life I enjoy more
than music. Like Tower Records says,
No Music No Life. This blog is dedicated
to the music that makes me smile.
I hope you’ll like it too!
The picture of me is by my awesome
sister, Kelly! It makes me smile a lot!
