The music will start off with mellow jazz, leading to blues, but will pick up into harder, higher-energy sounds by 4pm with The Endless Trip (formerly hard-rock band Semicon), Militant Hippi, and Chrome Relic — who Byrne said “began as a heavy metal satire with full-on chains and leather but have turned out to be this great group of very cool hard rockers, kind of like AC/DC.” The ever-popular .22, with their funny, irreverent lyrics, and super-funk band Moneyshot Horns will end the event.
Byrne wants the lineup to showcase a wide variety of the live music Taichung has to offer. Habecker raves about his input: “Patrick is the most knowledgeable person about bands in Taiwan and is the one who finds all these Taichung based original bands with original lyrics. No cover bands!!”
“I’d like to have bands from all over Taiwan, and one way I can do that is by having bands from other cities play at the after-party,” Byrne said. “Taipei-based bands High Tide and Public Radio are the highlights of the later evening hosted by 89K.”
