For over 30 years, it’s the first time for SXSW turning physical lives to online concerts this year. Taiwan Beats Showcase invites four Taiwanese bands, Enno Cheng, Fire EX., The Chairs and NekoJam to play outside of the venue box.
Embraced by natural spectaculars and wonders, there are 268 mountains over 3,000 meters, which marks Taiwan one of the countries with the highest density of high mountains in the world. First comes the interdisciplinary Enno Cheng, shifting between singer-songwriter, actor and writer, she allurres people with her contagious and soul touching sounds. Cheng empowers her works with intrepid and poetic perspectives. Into the wild, we hear beyond music.
In addition to the pioneering semiconductor industry, the national mask production team followed epidemic-prevention measures, Taiwan is renowned for the economic boom contributed by proficient factories and competent workers. Fire EX., nourished by the industrial city, Kaohsiung, fueled by fundamental punk rock, their music embodies this common touch to bound up with the masses. Fire EX. has inspired the ”we can be heroes“ moment for every anonymous Taiwanese, and that shapes them one of the epoch making bands of our time.
The Chair is an indie gem three-piece with duo vocals. Sparkling tunes with the dreamy classy psychedelic and jazzy gaze, this urban chic trio takes us on a good trip to the 80’s retrospective in Taiwan. The indoor shrimp fishing could be seen as Taiwanese Soirée bringing people closer. The everyday leisure later included Karaoke and stir-fried with multi layers of sensations, is exactly what The Chair has to offer, a very Taiwanese overwhelming banquet covering the luxury of tastes, sounds and visuals.
Taiwan is highly inclusive and diverse for its variant communities, languages and religions. Among all engaging vitality here, Taiwanese temple and shrine culture tops all, offering a ride that welcomes all colors, carrying worshippers' sincerity and abundant cultural heritages. The all female electronic band NekoJam, unapologetically scrambles house, electro and pop hooks, like throwing a time-traveling parade in the river of history.
已有三十多年歷史的 SXSW 首次將活動轉成線上模式，Taiwan Beats Showcase 邀請鄭宜農、滅火器、椅子樂團與妮可醬四組樂團，打破傳統演唱會經驗，分別以高山、傳統工廠、釣蝦場與宮廟等台灣本土風景做為 SXSW Online 舞台，結合現場演出與在地實景，由內而外展現台灣獨有的多元特色和文化樣貌。
以傲人的自然美景破題，台灣擁有268座海拔3,000公尺以上高峰，是世界上高山密度最高的國家之一。首先由擁有音樂人、演員、作家多重身份的鄭宜農登場，自小在北投山區長大的她，作品中流露溫柔與堅韌兼具的靈秀氣質，一如影片中依山傍海的世外之境，在音樂裡聆聽山的脈動。
除了獨步全球的半導體，疫情期間迅速集結的口罩國家隊，台灣更有著許多擁有精湛技術的傳統工廠，在各自崗位不斷創造產業奇蹟。第二組樂團是來自工業重鎮高雄的滅火器，以龐克搖滾為基調，歌詞真實的反應時代與生活，使滅火器成為這個時代的代表性樂團，激勵著每一位身為「無名英雄」的台灣人。
椅子樂團為三人編制的雙主唱樂團，音樂有著迷幻搖滾、爵士等迷人老派氣質。釣蝦場在1980 年代風靡全台，同時也是普及的庶民休閒活動，後期更結合 KTV 、熱炒等複合式飲食娛樂，五花八門的另類拼湊正如椅子樂團三個大男孩讓人會心一笑的反差萌，以迷幻趣味的復古旋律導唱，帶領觀眾體驗色香味具全的台式衝擊。
台灣具有高度的包容性與多元化，有著許多不同的族群、語言與信仰，宮廟更是台灣人最熟悉的生活景色之一，集結來自眾人的溫柔祈願，以及深厚的文化底蘊；近年來更有打破性別限制的民俗藝陣，將電子音樂帶進廟會場景。組成超過10年、發跡於台中的全女子組合妮可醬壓軸登場，曲風融合 House、Electro 等流行音樂元素，在具有百年歷史的場域打造跨時空藝境。
