Did anyone else see live music on Saturday? O_-
The Taipei Scream event took place today, eight bands performing 45 minute sets between 2pm and 10pm, followed by an afterparty at a bar. I saw five great bands for NT$500 (US$17). Of the three bands I didn’t watch, I saw five minutes each of two that weren’t particularly good, the opening act I missed completely. I arrived just before 4pm, when one of my two friends’ bands played, the other at 5pm.
The first link (to facebook) contains a few pictures from each of the five bands I saw: All My Boyfriendz, second was Last Minute Latin Band, next The Flat Fives (not the US band of a similar name), Bunnlysium and headliners Skaraoke. Skaraoke is the band pictured below.
The second link and third link are sets of video clips from the five shows, plus a couple of clips from the after party. The sound in person was far better than the recording on my phone. And to quote the lead singer of Bunnlysium, “**** the CCP!”
The organizers were American ex-pats, so naturally they made the event about that and not a word about Canada Day. You can’t have everything in life. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Followed by a Cosplay event on Sunday. Unfortunately, I don’t have costume ready, so I’ll only be taking pictures.
PS:
An item I wrote about fireworks three years ago. Don’t use them in populated areas.
So…not many folks wearing masks these days in Taiwan?
At businesses, schools and mass transit (closed quarters, kids have bad habits). Stores required it for a month, then stopped. But aside from that, not really. The number of active cases topped out at 300 in March and has been under 10 for over a month.
