Well, well, well, Sunday's have never been so much fun. Once the preserve of mashed up, hardcore revelers squeezing the last drops out of the weekend at clubs like Texound, later AXD, Purple and its supervenient manifestations, or Cor, the last two parties at the CM Swimming Club have been praised to the highest degree by many who attended both.
Megan, Elements, Schism, Jay-Ro, Gorejuice and Francis B were in the mix last week. If you missed out on the fun, photos from the bash can be viewed at www.taiwannights.com. The party was busy — bikinis, booze and burgers made for a heady mix — but as with many venues, popularity can often breed contempt. A few complaints filtered through to the Vinyl Word that the pool was cramped, and the music was too loud, but then again you can please some of the partiers all of the time and all of the partiers some of the time, but you can't please all of the partiers all of the time.
This Sunday there will be a Chinese Valentine's Day party at the pool which is located at 34 Jhihshan Rd Sec 2, Shilin, Taipei (台北市至善路二段34號).
The Blacked Eyed Peas' (黑眼豆豆) gig at Zhongshan Soccer Stadium (中山足球場) was off the wall, and garnered extensive media coverage. The Liberty Times, the Taipei Times' sister paper, reported a crowd of 18,000 turned up to hear the LA outfit.
The Peas certainly know how to party too; well the lads do anyway. On Monday night Taboo, will.i.am, apl.de.ap and their crew of musicians descended on 9% located at B1/B2, 222 Jinshan S Road Sec 2 (臺北市金山南路2段222號B1/B2, visit www.9club.com.tw or call (02) 3322-6162) and ripped it up — Fergie didn't show up.
“She didn't go out. Maybe she can't keep up with the boys who partied every night,” Marco Lapka, Facilitator at Luxy said.
“They all had a good time and carried on until about 3am. The after party at Luxy was big, big and crazy. They partied mostly in the VIP hip-hop room on the second floor until about 3am. They ventured out into the main room with their security entourage and everyone whooped and hollered,” Lapka said.
Luxy promoted the Peas' concert.
And then the crew hopped on a plane to the Philippines at 7am for a gig at the Araneta Coliseum, Manila last night.
This weekend another beach party bites the dust. The party at Da-an resort on July 14th was postponed, and the Summer Aquarian party planned for this weekend has also been postponed. Jetty from CUBE productions said that problems with the venue had forced the company to consider moving the party to a new location. An announcement will be made in the coming week.
From next Saturday until the end of August, CUBE will be throwing a beach foam party at Summer Land, Green Bay, Wanli Township (太平洋翡翠灣，夏日樂園). Visit www.summer-aquarian.com for more details.
