19 : 35 ~ 20 : 05  Band – The Clippers’ Hsiao-ying

A comic emcee, karaoke singer, and actor of stage, skits and film, Hsiao-ying uses a mix of singing, variety-show-style hosting and comic dialogues with virtual characters to present some of Taiwan’s funniest and most biting social satires. He calls it “The Clippers’ Hsiao-ying Video Music Show.” The Clippers was the underground band Hsiao-ying headed for over a decade, and also where he forged his showmanship and sharpened his wit. Then and now, his finger has always been on the pulse of society. But it’s not just that Hsiao-ying’s critiques are cutting. His manner is playful and his commentary both sour and sweet. Lyrics are his specialty, and songs topics include an otaku’s frustrations and joys, hallucinating about five dollars in a fast food restaurant, a company boss who’s going bankrupt because society at large just doesn’t see things his way, and kids who exist in an industrial society but live in an fashion culture. When it comes to what’s happening in Taiwan, Hsiao-ying leaves nothing out.

20 : 20 ~ 20 : 50  Band – Kou Chou Ching

With so much penetration of outside music in Taiwan’s local scene, Kou Chou Ching has managed to forge their own unique sound out of hip hop rhythms and native sounds. They sample the traditional Hoklo music forms of nanguan and beiguan, Taiwanese opera, Hakka mountain songs and ba yin, traditional folk songs, and the music hall pop of 1970s starlets. On stage, the band fuses all this into something completely their own. Performances include both turntable scratching and music from a traditional south Chinese horn called the suona. In this seeming collision of worlds, Kou Chou Ching offers audiences a different style of playing music.

21 : 05 ~ 21 : 35  Band – Hohak Band

Established in 2003, the Hohak Band draws on a base of Hakka folk songs, then melds it with jazz and rock, throwing a bit of African drums in for good measure. It’s toe-tapping, lively stuff that’s fit for any ‘ol down-home celebration. But these are not just animated tunes. These songs speak with a social conscience, and when you’re humming them to yourself on the home, they may give you pause. Aside from music, Hohak’s members also engage in social activism. The band’s “Rice Public Creative Society” addresses problems related to the farming industry and land disputes. They have pushed for a system of direct purchasing from farmers and also worked side by side with farmers in organic rice paddies. The goal is to make the public think about what is appropriate when it comes to land use, and also work for new and more equitable market mechanisms.
