Earlier on Sunday, Riin & 阿牧君 mumu played an acoustic version of the song at 賣捌所 UriSabakisho; Riin kept Fran Fran (Frandé, 法蘭黛樂團) on stage for moral support, LOL:

By the way, this was part of an event with Zulin Wu 吳志寧/929樂團, Dadado Huang Jie 黃玠, Stanley Hong 洪詮翔 & Jiang Songlin 江松霖 (Xiaosong). I’ll keep my eye on lkk31067 YT channel for more from this long evening of songwriters.  =D

A coupla days ago, we posted some 鄭宜農 Enno Cheng news and a video from her acoustic tour.  

Earlier today (Sunday) she did a show at BEANS & BEATS in Taipei with 阿牧君 mumu and Gao Xiao Gao (白目樂隊 The White Eyes). 

The song In Lust I Lost was on The White Eyes 2011 ep Dead Boy:

It is also included on their 2017 album, 可笑的一天 with a more elaborate arrangement and it sounds amazing!  

lkk31067 YT is documenting Enno’s travels and she’s just uploaded another video from Sunday with Enno, Mumu, Xiao Gao plus Riin (The Girl and the Robots 女孩與機器人) and a very shy Fran (Frandé, 法蘭黛樂團). They sing Enno’s 2018 single The Path 人生很難. So cool to see all of these TW indie goddesses having fun playing music. Watch it HERE.

年代新聞CH50 YT channel has a *long playlist called 年代so much《樂團新勢力》of TW bands performing short sets at a television studio/soundstage with a live audience.  =D

This series began in late October and runs into early December. According to the fb event page, it is hosted by Hami Video, 樂團新勢力, and MOD粉絲團.  

*You can also watch the playlist at newpower.era.com.tw

The Girl and the Robots 女孩與機器人 have been on a few episodes. (in the YT playlist, there are the live performance episodes and also shows where the band is interviewed at their rehearsal space. (You also see them rehearsing) 

I think the interview specials were all posted a couple of weeks before the live shows.  Here is the link to interview/rehearsal special with The Girl and the Robots 女孩與機器人 & Flux, and I’ll include a screencap from that interview. Jungle Iam & Riin (Lin Yijun 林怡君) are the official members listed at fb, but 蕭 (蕭勝文) & STL (Lin Shin-Ting) from 三重電音宮 SanChung Electronic Kong have been playing with Riin / Robots for awhile: 

The live performance format: the band plays a couple of songs, then they are interviewed by the emcee, and then they finish up with another song or two.  As you can see in the episode calendar below, they have a few bands per episode.  When they pull back for a wider camera shot, you can see the next band getting ready on another part of the stage. (the bands are actually set up very close to each other!)

I’ve watched a few episodes so far, it’s pretty cool. The A/V quality is quite good, but I noticed in the P!SCO live set, the instruments were a bit too low compared to the vocals. I think the audio team had a better handle on the electronic acts (electronic drums/samplers/synths, etc.) than the rock acts (guitar amplifiers, real drums, etc.)

Following on from the previous post with The Girl and the Robots 女孩與機器人, Riin posted that she borrowed the fur coat from 88balaz 八十八顆芭樂籽 - 阿強 Balaz Lee’s mom.  XD
