Intense instrumental rock from 體熊專科。Major in Body Bear

Really impressed with these guys:  包子 Myles Chang (張天偉)-gtr, 藥包 Zell Huang (黃耀圻)-bass (Soundboss), 小蟲 Tsung-Wei Wang-drums, Yifan Chou 安西-keys (Soundboss)

 I mentioned a couple of days ago they did a gig at APA mini with 江松霖 (Xiaosong 江小松) opening; here’s a clip from that night:

They kinda set up in a circle, hm... The post-rock/instrumental bands that like to to set up like this should really spread out (make the circle bigger), and let the crowd sit on the floor in the middle. =D

Blast from the past!  929樂團 from 2008. Fun singalong song on their 2nd album.  =D

At the time, the band was Zulin Wu 吳志寧-gtr/voc, Russy Ing 吳雋然 aka DuDu 嘟嘟-bass/drums, Dadado Huang Jie 黃玠-gtr/voc, and Chan Cheng-yun (詹正筠) aka 小龜-keys/voc.

In 2009, 929樂團 went on hiatus and 小龜 & Dudu continued with their other band Miss Stocking 絲襪小姐 which includes 昆蟲白 / Insecteens Huang (黃建勳) on gtr (微光群島 Shimmering Islands aka Sugar Plum Ferry 甜梅號) and 錢煒安 Zen Chien-drums (Doodle and 8mm sky).  

Dadado, Dudu and Zulin restarted 929 with Robert Jen 任柏璋 on drums (he has played with many acts -- check out his fb -- I had no idea he had such a resume!).  In 2015, Dadado left to concentrate on his solo career and a new guitarist 蘇啟文 aka ‘由小蘇’ (光群島 Shimmering Islands) was added to complete the current lineup.  I think their 4th album came out last year.

Anyway, the reason I went on this 929 tangent is because of this clip from Sunday, a songwriter event at 賣捌所 UriSabakisho (we posted about it yesterday). Check it out: that’s Dadado & 小龜 singing the same 929 song from up above, with Dudu on drums, and a backing/dancing chorus of Riin, Fran Fran, Mumu and 江松霖 (Xiaosong)

Fran tries to coax some little kid into dancing, but it’s not happening. XD

By the way, 小龜 is one of the managers of 賣捌所 UriSabakisho in Yilan City, I think we’ve mentioned this before. On March 21st, she posted that as of April, they are suspending operation. I don’t know if this is permanent?. Maybe someone can take a look at the announcement and clarify this for me. I’d appreciate the info. =)

This is my favorite kind of video -- excellent musicians playing their instruments!

KILLER instrumental rock from 體熊專科。Major in Body Bear  =D

This is a tune from their 3-song ep, Topic 3: 瞬間 Moment.   They just put out a full album in 2019, and we featured a song a coupla months ago.  Busy guys!

Jiang Songlin 江松霖 (Xiaosong 江小松) at APA mini.  =D

She was opening for 體熊專科。Major in Body Bear, but I haven’t seen any clips from their set, but I’ll keep my eyes peeled.  

Xiaosong said she’ll be in Taichung on May 6th to support Connie呂莘 at Forro Cafe, but I’m not sure if she means as a fan or as opening act. In the photo below, that’s Connie on the right, and on the left, that’s percussionist A-fun阿芳 (賴雅芳). A-fun regularly plays with both Connie & Xiaosong.

體熊專科。Major in Body Bear are back with another song from their debut ep, Topic 1: 告白 confession.  These post-rock peeps make a powerful impression!  =D

Their launch show is at APA mini on April 14th, with special guests 江松霖 Xiaosong and 杉山兩兩（杉特 + 四分衛阿山)

Let’s hear Xiaosong from her March 11th gig at Witch House:
