激膚 My Skin Against Your Skin《Who You》單曲

【 日子裡的配樂 1008 】

「有些道理早知道也避免不了悲傷，把夢寄託在一個不會遺忘的地方」 --

時隔了好久又回到了曾經熟悉的生活圈，想起自己是如何喜歡假日午後的大直，每個路人的臉都美好的像夢，連時間都因此走慢似的。 -- 每次在人群裡聽現場都覺得群眾像島，短暫地被音樂連結在了一起，在散場後又回到了孤島的狀態。是從Ｙ那邊第一次聽見激膚的，安卓雅果然一如他說的極具現場魅力，就這麼直勾勾地被她整個人吸引著，小雨之中看著迷濛燈光中的她，飛機在最恰當的時候自頭頂飛過，那是島被連結在��起的魔幻時刻。

-- 「有沒有責怪青春容易虛華 有沒有感慨生命如此渺小      有沒有想起你是我的模樣 有沒有烙印在我心上」

2 hi-energy tunes from 激膚 My Skin Against Your Skin the other night in Kaohsiung.   Good, indeed!  =D

I always enjoy taiwanphotog channel’s videos; he shoots from right up close and also provides excellent info about the bands.  Hopefully he’ll upload something from P!SCO who opened the show for MSAYS.

A power ballad from P!SCO!?   This is excellent, they should be proud of how this turned out.  =D

Actually, it seems there's a very sad story behind the inspiration for Hey Dear:

其實我們什麼都做不了。但就算是這樣，還是想要做些什麼。 用音樂帶給人們力量和活著的勇氣，是P!SCO的生存之道。

去年秋天，收到一則令人難過的消息。一位年紀還未滿18歲的樂迷因罹患憂鬱症，而選擇離開人世，他在遺書上寫著，��望告別式上能播放P!SCO的歌，這是他最喜歡的樂團。

同樣的悲傷以不同的方式在每位團員心中激起一波又一波漣漪，我們似乎無能為力，卻又好像可以做些什麼。花了一些時間思考、消化，這件事無形中漸漸醞釀出這首歌的雛型。 「每個人的存在都是重要的，有意義、有價值的，你值得對自己好。」

P!SCO一直以來秉持著的信念，在歌曲中大爆發。〈Hey Dear〉是首悲傷的歌，也是首溫柔的歌，如果你聽著聽著，哭了，沒關係那樣很好，因為哭完就沒事了，我們都可以繼續走下去。

2 gigs this weekend with 與激膚 My Skin Against Your Skin： 10/14 嘉義 傲頭厝 Our Town Live House in Chiayi City 10/15 高雄 百樂門 Paramount Bar in Kaohsiung 

Bonus clip:  P!SCO took part in a recent StreetVoice event called Homie Party, with bands being paired up to play songs. [BWOCＸP!SCO, 霧虹Ｘ 聲子蟲, 高浩哲ＸJ.Sheon, 黃婕Ｘ林孟萱Ｘ巴賴, 雨國Ｘ 艾怡良]

This was at a new venue called Legacy Max. The live stream was over 4 hours long, PISCO & BWOC  play the song Penguin Disco at 42:25:

My Skin Against Your Skin 激膚樂團

Going thru my music player playlist on the main page, replacing some dead links, changing/adding some songs, etc.  Gonna include some of the newer bands that have emerged since I originally did the playlist.  Okay, I added a bunch of songs to the playlist, there are now 68 songs!

MSAYS   =(

激膚 My Skin Against Your Skin are having a very rough go of it on their tour in China.  I think they may have been swindled/screwed by a promoter/broker? Anyway, they canceled the rest of the tour, and are out considerable expense.

Big Thank You to @oceancalligraphy for figuring this out for us: "It looks like they got reported by a Taiwanese employee of another management company. Not only has their tour been impacted, but it looks like some venues they were scheduled to perform may be closing.  The Shanghai venue manager told them that the permits were legally applied for and approved, so they should go ahead and perform. That's why they are still able to perform in Shanghai. They managed to get to Shanghai from Guangdong with a lot of help. The end of that post they thanked all the people that helped them, saying that it brought them a lot of warm feelings.”

“我們正在大陸巡演，由於部分演出遭受不明人士干擾，我們將取消所有的巡演行程，但是會在12/9 晚上11點於上海 育音堂 進行合法免費演出，希望所有能到的朋友都可以來參加！

台灣演出場次近期會公佈，目前人在大陸沒錢、沒有演出，9號演完還活著我們再說！”

They managed to find a venue in Shanghai to do a free show this past Friday, and you can see an emotional Andrea addressing the crowd in a short clip at fb.

Here is their update from yesterday:

“其實我們這陣子過得不是很好，我們的合約糾紛遭受到不理性的對待。這次的大陸巡演，也被不明人士惡意舉報，聽說是某個經紀公司的台灣員工去舉報。

我們很努力，很希望見見每一個支持我們的朋友，和喜歡音樂的朋友一起交流，很遺憾，這次巡演被惡意破壞了，我們也不曉得將來的演出場次是不是也會被破壞⋯⋯

這趟巡演損失慘重外，還影響到這些場地的朋友，我們感到非常抱歉，據我們得知，一間場地可能面臨停業，一間要罰巨款，場地老闆們覺得不可思議，從沒遇過台灣人舉報台灣樂團，如果未來接洽台灣樂團都被舉報，那還要不要接呢。

所有場次都已取消，上海育音堂老闆覺得既然有合法報批為什麼不表演，於是積極給予我們鼓勵，讓我們有個演出的機會。

我們從廣州想辦法到上海，感恩不少朋友電話訊息關心我們，主動給予幫助，感謝你們，萬幸有這裡的朋友讓我們借宿，並開車送我們來到上海育音堂，短短幾天我們感受到很多溫暖。

謝謝你們一直都在，有你們，這才叫搖滾。”

Trying to suss all that out using Google/Bing translation is difficult, so maybe someone can correct what I posted, or fill in some details for me?
