2007年秋天，Anie帶著DV在好友家人們的合作之下，為自己的原創曲 "The Bird Song (should I hold on)"，製作了一支音樂MV。當時抱著平常心的她，拿著MV參加蜂鳥音樂舉辦的"尋找庭竹音樂夥伴"活動，完全無知這簡單的小影片將會獲得的矚目。自此，Anie成了蜂鳥音樂家族的一員，也開啟了她人生的第二章節，但是她的夢想仍是一貫的：
要你聽見最率真的Anie Fann
She woke up from a dream with a song in her head, and from there, it all began...
Mysterious and intangible, Anie Fann can disappear on you before you even notice. Introverted and softspoken by nature, she had always been labeled the quiet girl, but her passion in music led her to discover that she had a lot to say. As a storyteller, she welcomes you to explore life as SHE knows it: with a pinch of unrequited love, a dash of self destruction, and a whole lot of electronica. She and her music are hard to define, but she likes things complicated. You can expect no less from a Pisces.
Like most people, she didn't start out knowing what she wanted to do. After graduating from college and going through a series of jobs, it wasn't long before her love for music caught up with her and she decided to focus on creating and recording her own music. In the confines of her bedroom that she built into a simple home studio, Anie recorded and shared her music to anyone who would listen, but it wouldn't be until a year later before she started to get people's attention.
In Fall of 2007, Anie directed and shot a music video for "The Bird Song (should I hold on)", a song which she also wrote, with a Sony handycam and a few friends and family members. In spite of its amateur nature, it was through the music video that she came to the attention of Hummingbird Music after submitting it into a contest. From there, Anie joins the Hummingbird family and begins another chapter of her life, but her goal remains the same:
Johnny & Eeyore is a band of 60's MOD image whose music is transforming from early soft rock (as in our Single CD) to the now post-punk revival/new wave stuff. We are currently recording our new E.P.. Stayed tuned!
Not exclusively bound by one form of music or another Paper Scissor Stone Band brings you folk / folk rock / classic rock covers from the 50's right on thru to the present....on ocassion you might even find the odd country or blues tune thrown in the mix. With acoustic, electric guitars and vocals with great harmonies we try to perform music that most audiences might be familiar with. We can go from a soft ballad by Dan Fogelberg, make a 180 degree turn, do a rocker by Brian Adams and then launch into an guitar intense live acoustic version of Hotel California by the Eagles. Couple that with our favorite Beatle, Bob Dylan, and Eric Clapton tunes, we hope everybody will find something that will make them want to hear more and more..... Bilbao) for Europe.

The Unrelentless mine the greatest pop of the last 40 years from Phil Spector to Abba and beyond, then play it like their a**es depend on it. Think Ramones meets Chris Issak meets your mom at a bar. Think alcohol. Choose absurdity. Come smile at them or with them.
Retributive Justice was formed by ex-members of Formaldehyde, Dennis (v/g) and Ben (b) back in the end of 2005, and its Thrash Metal style which is rarely seen in Taiwan. In the meanwhile, accomplished by a experienced and professional drummer, Steely (d), RJ now has finally been able to carry on the love of Thrash Metal and to deliver good quality of Thrash sound.
The three have rehearsed as hard as they can though they all have day jobs to do. In addition to enhance their skill, they would like to deliver some ‘80s thrash classics to the metal-heads in order to show the roots of present extreme metal scene in Taiwan.
RJ has played several gigs in Hsin Chu. Its outrageous and crazy performance drew much attention, and RJ has built up its leading reputation in the Taiwanese Thrash Metal scene since then. On the other hand, the addition of Frank (g) makes the band flawless at its sound without any compromise.
Just like every famous band in the world, RJ started by covering its idols’ sound. It is important that a band should improve by learning the classics and try to gain large following in the beginning and after that, it can start to create its own sound. RJ is in writing mode and plan to add more and more brand new songs into the set list in the near future. An ambitious goal is to show no mercy and deliver brutal, fast and furious Thrash Metal to the rest of the world.

十震樂團是個奇妙的排列組合，從十震的音樂中，不難發現，其中充滿了許多想法上的衝擊，介於油漬與新金屬式的曲風，使的十震的爆炸力十足。看過十震的現場表演，很難忘記樂手們沉浸在表演中的神情。彷彿他們就是為此而生。雖然，十震在台灣的主要地下舞台尚未嶄露頭角，但他們依然堅持著自已的硬地道路，磨練著自已的武器，沉著卻又極富生命力的等待著高飛的那天，能讓更多的人聽見十震來自心靈深處吶喊的力量。
十震的歌詞，來自於對身邊事物的感動、無助、甚至於是憤怒，道出了年輕一代對於世界的觀感，及對於生命的想法。十震的腳步走過了許多大大小小的LIVE HOUSE及各大專院校，很難相信，這個樂團其實成立至今，不過一年半左右的時間，在團員歷經當兵、工作，最後，組在一起玩團、一起瘋狂的玩樂、一起分享生活中的大小事，這些對於十震來說，都是最寶貴的事物，更是創作的原動力。沒錯，十震絕對不是最屌的樂團，但是絕對是最瘋狂的樂團。WELCOME TO OUR WORLD

因為熱愛衝浪的洛客班樂團吉他手-欽聖，很喜歡Jack Johnson 的音樂，並熟練其專輯中的每一首歌，加上自己私底下又累積了不少作品，使得兩位好友，高潮及阿貴，很想幫他完成當主唱的夢。
由於欽聖早已取得街頭藝人的演出證照，於是他們開始以簡單的手鼓、空心吉他，以及acousticbass，玩票性地在台北市各處地下道表演。在這樣邊嬉戲、邊玩團的某天，高潮走進了一家百事達閒晃，不經意瞧見了架上擺著「花木蘭」卡通的DVD，便隨口幫樂團取了「花木蘭」的名稱，沒想到很隨和的其餘兩人也沒啥異議，花木蘭就這樣成了。

Singer Pe Fung's inspiration comes from the things that happen to her in life. She can't define her style, so she uses "mayonnaise" to describe her music.
Singer and Guitarist David Chen and harmonica player Conor Prunty play down-home, foot-stompin' country blues in the spirit of late greats such as Robert Johnson, Bo Carter, Leadbelly, Sonny Terry, and Mississipi Fred McDowell. The pair are perhaps best-known for their musical antics as part of the Muddy Basin Ramblers.

David Foster has grown a loyal fan base in South Africa since recording his brilliant first album, Flat to Round and releasing it a little more than 2 years ago. Dave traveled to Taiwan a few months after recording his second album, titled "LIVE! And at home." Two tracks from the album are at present playlisted on Taiwan's own ICRT fm100 as well as more than ten stations in his native South Africa.
He is a polished songsmith, an honest lyricist and an enthralling and passionate performer. Most recently Dave has become a bit of a TV star following his adventures with the unlikely hit travel show, "Going Nowhere Slowly," for which he was a presenter in the show's second and third seasons.

THE DEADLY VIBES are a three piece rock and roll band that have been spreading the gospel of country fueled high energy good time R&R though out most of Taiwan's watering holes for just over a year now. After traveling Taiwan's Rock & Roll highway for more than three years, playing anything from farmers markets to a Saturday night slot at Spring Scream, geek rockers THE DAYMAKERS (Texas twins JD and JT Long, along with Jay Copps) have now revealed their love for country music, garage rock swagger, and beer drinking blues! THE DEADLY VIBES have been compared to early Johnny Cash, CCR, The black keys, and Jon Spencer blues Explosion, but they think "if Howlin¡‾ Wolf was in a rock and roll band or if AC/DC were in an old western" says it best
The Hindsight features members of now defunct HINDSIGHT 20/20 and VANISH. The style is Emo-core. Three are Taiwanese while the drummer is from New Zealand. They have been playing around Taipei for about 5 months.

They don’t come in peace - the Antagonauts play pop rock like you’ve never heard before. And they’re already causing a scene in the bars and clubs of Taipei. Originally a team of three songwriters, the Antagonauts weave unforgettable melodies into a dynamic stage performance. Diverse yet unified, the sound is hard-hitting and anything but cliché. Audiences say the music is ‘some of the best pop rock ever’. But be warned: the Antagonauts do not come in peace.

Visiting from San Francisco, David Tsui, guitarist and vocalist of Hijack The Disco will perform an acoustic set with special guests!
Call it neo prog emotive indie math rock or call it fiddle faddle. Either way there is no denying that Hijack The Disco are doing something that few have attempted. Their live shows are bursting with energy and reminiscent of that scene in Back To The Future where Michael J. Fox says: "I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet. But your kids are going to love it".
Hijack The Disco has recently shared the stage with: The Velvet Teen, Elephone, The Yellow Press, The Americas, The Polar Bears, The New Trust, Aveo, Rescue, Kissing Tigers, The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower, Akimbo, Oneida, The Mendoza Line, Cex, Rainer Maria, Deathray, Bishop Allen, One AM Radio and Will Sartain, amongst others.

After many years of traveling and busking around the world, and living in Taipei for close to a decade, Adam put together an album which he decided to present as a band effort, and thus became Minstral. The band is rounded out by English bassist Mike Hanson, a longtime resident of Taipei himself, David Tonner, a drummer from Canada who has spent the last four years working in Taiwan, and finally Afong, a Taiwanese guitar virtuoso who is well known as a guitar teacher as well as a performer around the city.

We continue to be the type of people who believe the marriage of politics and music is a great way to both express our views and ensure obscurity in a land saturated with candy pop idols. Everyone really likes to hear "it's okay", and that life will be perfect if you just fall in love. Largely because we're jaded old men who have never experienced this emotion called "love" the idols sing of, we've decided to vent our rage and air our inadequacies in the form of (Punk, indie, rock, emo, choose whichever label makes you comfortable) music. Also: don’t let his looks fool you: Ryan’s best quality is his ability to “snuggle”. www.myspace.com/sellinguseverything

貝斯手兼主唱--阿光、吉他手--Frankie跟鼓手--Clamie原本是同一個團--Sugar Lady,在玩老搖滾Rockabilly一段時間後,希望在音樂上有些突破,也希望能玩更多的音樂風格,做更多好聽的歌給大家聽,進而就開始寫不同風格的歌,包括:Emo, Pop-Punk, Brit-Pop, Hip-Hop, Garage Roc....,這些樂風,都是三個人的最愛,所以起初團名也是以三個人的英文名字縮寫而成,後續也因為K.F.C的曲風多樣化,大家對老搖都有相當性的熱愛,就改名叫Kenny From Casino--賭場肯尼(以下簡稱：K.F.C),較為復古的團名,K.F.C就是所有樂風的綜合體,K.F.C就是K.F.C!!
草創時期,唱了許多早期老式搖滾的曲子,進而開始創作!!一開始創作的理念,主要是因為,既然在玩國外的音樂,就要玩的徹底~~!!所以,就寫了三首英文歌,後來發現，要讓喜歡這類音樂、喜歡我們的朋友們,甚至是所有的聽眾更了解K.F.C的震撼,中文歌才是最直接也是最難的挑戰了~~!!演出經歷過包括:海洋音樂祭、春天吶喊、全國熱音大賽等, 也成經參與滾石發行All Star 我華麗的搖滾夢合輯.
After sugar lady had dismissed, Kuang, Frankie and Clamie formed a new band called Kenny from Casino (K.F.C.) They started with copy songs from old school rock and then started to write their own music by adding Emo, Pop-Punk, Brit-Pop, Hip-Hop, Garage Rock elements into their music in both English and Chinese. They’ve have play in Spring Scream, Guan Liau Rock Festival, Yamaha Music Contest etc. Their songs were recorded in the album “All Star” release by Rock Record.
A group of music maniac named themselves “ArGers” and defined it as “creativity” to symbolize their creativity for the music. After they transform from former band “Living Force”, they’ve added a new vocal which makes their rap-metal music more airy and humorous.

Creepy Susan is a rock-based post-punk pop influenced band that formed a month before Spring Scream this year and went on to play Friday night on the main weekend. Since then they have been rocking crowds of rambunctious drunks in Taipei at various dives and open stages. After playing under such catchy names as Creepy Susan and My Pet Gibbon, Pet My Creepy Susan, and PMS, they have settled with the name Creepy Susan. Lead singer Alita Rickards is quoted as saying "Creepy Susan is the voice in your head that says 'fill the laundry soap bottle with bleach if your roommates won't stop using it all and never buying more'".
Alita (voc), Les (guitar), Jeff (bass), and Tim (drums). They've played a weekend at Spring Scream, and are ready to rock the Living Room.
Half the band are Geminis with birthdays coming up, and we expect a few other Gemini musicians to drop by to join the party. If you are a Gemini, maybe you'll get something special from the bar.

Mobius is a happening new young band, and Living Room is proud to present them. They have a powerful and tight progressive punk sound, shadowed with both Japanese angst and London calling. Even though they are just starting, they play like a band, and are definitely not afraid to rock. (Bring your earmuffs...) The members of MOBIUS got together because they believed there was something else out there other than Mando-pop. We think so too!
Definitely check these guys out. Only at the Living Room.
Monday night is college rock night at the Living Room. This week's band, Combination, mixes a little REO Speedwagon with a lot of May Day, and adds a bit of pure garage band sound.
