Excellent rocker called Your Melody (專屬於你的旋律) off the brand new Thunder Love (雷霆之愛) album from P!SCO. I love this tune! =D

According to a post on IG, they've been working on this album since 2021, and I think it includes at least 3 singles released over that time.

Peppy new tune from P!SCO, featuring 解婕翎J0   =D   

The song (written by singer 張維倫 CatLun, produced by 鄭皓文Howard Tay and arranged by the band) will appear on their upcoming mini album, Alley260.

J0 is a ‘gaming video creator’ according to fb.  I think she’s also a model and actress. Check her out on Instagram and YouTube.

She posted a behind the scenes clip -- meeting the band, learning/recording the song, filming the MV, etc.:

P!SCO played a set in Kaohsiung on Saturday, I think this was a 'community rally’ put on by the party of President 蔡英文 Tsai Ing-wen?   滅火器 Fire EX. and CHTHONIC 閃靈 also played.

That’s a massive space, eh?  (Kaohsiung Exhibition Hall South Pavilion S2 District)   Event page has more info HERE.

Killer new single from P!SCO   =D

Because of the COVID-19 situation, dance-rockers P!SCO have had to postpone their plans for launching P!SCO-10, their 10th ‘season’ as a band.  

But the good news is they just shared the P!SCO-8 concert in its entirety from Legacy Taichung on May 20th, 2018!  =D

CatLun 張維倫-Voc, OmOi 張憶文-Bass, Liang Yang (楊朝量)-Drums, Scott Chang (張鼎文)-Keys, 芮秋 Rachel Hsu-Guitar, Claire Lin-Backing Voc.

More new music, this time from P!SCO  =D

The new single has some tricky guitar bits from 芮秋 Rachel Hsu -- pretty cool to hear her expanding her style this way!

Music by CatLun 張維倫. Lyrics by CatLun, OmOi 張憶文, and 魏佑竹 Yu-chu Wei (Jude). Song arranged by the band.  Guest growling vocal by 香香 Yvonne (from the metal band Greedy Black Hole)

CatLun-voc, Omoi-bass, Rachel-gtr, Liang Yang-drums, Scott Chang (張鼎文)-keys, Claire Lin 臨停-harmony. (Jude is their VJ and photographer)

Next weekend is the official start for P!SCO season 9, with Kaohsiung Live Warehouse on the 2nd and PIPE Live Music in Taipei on the 3rd.:

3/2 高雄場：https://ppt.cc/fosiLx 3/3 台北場：https://ppt.cc/fdXyPxManage 

Special guest for both shows is ぜんぶ君のせいだ from Japan.

Greedy Black Hole is playing at The Wall on March 1st. They recently posted a very heavy, growling cover of the P!SCO's “Being P!SCO”.  Their first ever cover song:

[fyeahcindie]

Hello!  If you’re in Taiwan, Riin & CatLun would like you to go vote!  =D

The Girl and the Robots 女孩與機器人, P!SCO

P!SCO 8th Anniversary show was yesterday at Legacy Taichung! Dramatic lighting by 秦禮盟, beautiful shots by ShoLar Photography.  =D   (More at fb!)

I haven’t seen any video yet, but I’m intrigued by the 3-keys setup, I wonder what song that was for? 

On one of their anniversary shows a few years (Slugger, 2014) ago Scott Chang (張鼎文) & OmOi 張憶文 had a classical keyboard duel on the song We Are So Beautiful. Tumblr won’t let me scroll back that far to find the link, but check out OmOi playing a piece by Chopin:

Not too shabby for a bass player, holy moly!   XD

[fyeahcindie]

The cult expands...  21 minute highlight video of P!SCO's trip to HK.   =D

Besides the performance segments, there was CatLun working hard on her Cantonese; she made some greetings, plus the band did some singalong Cantonese covers. 

I think this list is of the video contents: 

*廣HIGH三部曲 *冰櫃奇兵 *雙刀火爪 *廣東話大挑戰 *膠帶綑綁 *肉的厚度 *秋的歡快嚼著

Here was the VS set list:

一起飛吧 唱給你聽 Being P!SCO Penguin Disco 中二夜晚 煞科+極速+失憶週末(cover) 黑色俄羅斯 每個人都歡快的嚼著(encore)

P!SCO are playing 搖滾本事Rock Band's Music Festival in Chiayi on Saturday.

[fyeahcindie]

“洗腦！洗腦！洗腦！... ‎邪教一定要有主題曲”‬    (Brainwashing! Brainwashing!  Brainwashing!  A cult must have a theme song) 

P!SCO fans have heard this many times in live settings (under the name 愛呦 Love Yo), now it’s the title track of their new album, and it turned out really strong!   =D

The above comments were on fb by team member 魏佑竹 Yu-chu Wei-Photos/VJ. She co-wrote the lyrics with CatLun 張維倫; actually, this is the only time I can recall where someone besides Cat had a writing credit on a P!SCO song. (But I haven’t yet seen the full credits for the new album on mojim.)

噢！談論秋天那些事情太文青 拿出勇氣亮出一吻，雨就會停 我走進愛的遊行

噢！湧上一嘴甜腥 抹抹眼角 噢！躺入眼前大道 警笛喧鬧 荊棘拒馬擋不住任性

藍色的天上有彩虹最美 你喲！我們的愛除不盡 藍色的天上有彩虹最美 愛喲！我們的愛除不盡

P!SCO 打翻吧彩色情緒 P!SCO 別猶豫一起衝吧 P!SCO 一踏糊塗也 不怕 P!SCO 讓我們being P!SCO

The auto-translate is not making much sense, does anybody want to have a crack at a translation? 

By the way, the Kaohsiung Paramount Bar show next week is sold out, but there are still some tix left for The Wall in Taipei on Saturday.
