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

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:

These masked peeps are Taiwan’s newest instrumental ‘supergroup’:

體熊專科。Major in Body Bear  with 2 guys from Soundboss 騷包樂團 (黃耀圻-bass & Yifan Chou 安西-keys), 張天偉-gtr (Wen Chiang Liao 廖文強's Bad Nerves Band/壞神經樂團), and 小蟲 on drums. I think the drummer plays in Spark Chen 火花’s band?   I like to be more precise with the names/credits, but, like so many bands, they only list members by nicknames.

Not too many songs so far, but I really dig everything I’ve heard, including:
