I’m sure they had bigger plans for this career milestone, but here we are,  another band making the best of a bad situation with a relaxing and informal live stream. Congratulations to Four Pens!  =D

四枝筆 Four Pens streamed earlier on Saturday: 9週年生日 直播演唱會 9th Anniversary Live Show.  A few minutes of chit chat and getting ready, then the songs begin.   

UPDATE:  at around 45 minutes in, they cover Cheer Chen’s Travel Is Meaningful.  Nice!  =)

I’m really noticing how more and more, TW bands are communicating in Japanese for their fans abroad; especially on Twitter, sometimes they only post in Japanese. (Maybe fans in Japan find it easier to follow bands on that social platform?)

I’ll include the Four Pens message from YouTube:

“四枝筆 9週年特別直播節目！ 四枝筆 成立於2011年的春天，由主唱小四、鍵盤手咨咨、吉他手Bibo三人所組成，以一把木吉他為基底，結合鍵盤時而輕跳、時而溫軟的聲響，加上主唱如耳語般唱出纏繞在日常生活上的省思。 已發行 2 張時光系列宅錄EP《AM 6:57》與《PM 11:59》、1 張錄音室單曲《夏季悲歌》、1 張同步錄音EP《柔軟的海》，樂團主要活躍於台灣、日本，目前正在錄製首張錄音室專輯。 Four Pens is a three piece band from Taiwan formed in 2011. Their name derived from a combination of the three members names, which in Taiwanese means “Four Pens”. Members include vocalist Candace, vocalist-guitarist-song writer Bibo and melodica - metallophone player, Sunny. Four Pens is best known for their dual vocals and vast variety of accompanying instruments. Their songs feature lyrics about life in the hopes that their music can be a companion for the listener.”

Get to know 四枝筆 Four Pens in this new interview (w/English subtitles) conducted by Josh Edbrooke.   =D

Topics include first influences, and they recommended one of their songs for Chinese-learners (明天的自己 New Day and New Me from their 2013 ep, PM 11:59).  Bibo also shared that he sometimes writes his lyrics in English first, then re-writes in Chinese.   Wow, I wish they would release some English versions of their songs!  =D

Josh is in the Taipei-based band Transition 前進樂團. He played drums on Four Pens’ 2 recent singles, which we featured HERE and ALSO HERE.

Let’s have a listen to that song they recommended, it is so sweet:

[fyeahcindie]

Another intimate live clip of Four Pens 四枝筆樂團 in Japan.  Beauteous!  =D

Same lineup and credits as in the video we posted yesterday. 

[fyeahcindie]

鄭宜農 Enno Cheng just opened a new writing blog on Medium.

She’s completely taken over the internet:

Instagram. YouTube. Twitter. Enno writing blog on Medium.  Bandcamp. 

And don’t forget her band Chocolate Tiger 猛虎巧克力

We posted this last week, but in case you missed it, listen to her new song written for the drama 奇蹟的女兒 The Coming Through:

And speaking of Chocolate Tiger, drummer 張妤安 Adeline just went on tour with Four Pens 四枝筆樂團, playing 7 shows in 8 days. (China/HK)

This was the opening date (June 5th) at 上海育音堂 Yuyintang in Shanghai:

As far as I can recall, this is the first time I’ve ever been aware of Four Pens playing as a 4-piece. XD   I’ll try to find some video.

[fyeahcindie]

The Tic Tac at 政大音樂節 NCCU Music Festival   =D

That’s Candace Hsu from Four Pens 四枝筆樂團 singing backing vocals. I think they played this event earlier in the day, I’ll try to find a clip. 

[fyeahcindie]

Newest MV from Crispy 脆樂團.  =D

Filmed at forgood café 好多咖啡, and they got onscreen help from Wen Chiang Liao 廖文強, ShuShu 舒舒 舒國銘, Celine Ling from 猛虎巧克力 Chocolate Tiger, and Sunny 咨咨 from 四枝筆樂團 Four Pens.  =D

[fyeahcindie]

TW posting many rainbows today!  =D

And trending on Twitter: Taiwan becomes the first place in Asia to make same-sex marriage legal

大象體操 Elephant Gym posted a link to the BBC coverage.

[fyeahcindie]

I didn’t even know this was gonna happen, but Crispy脆樂團 played/streamed for 24 hours at an *Eslite store. #STAMINA!   =D

They had a bunch of musical guests to help pass the time, and a big crowd turned out to cheer them on.    Unfortunately, the stream was gone by the time I checked out my feeds this afternoon.   I’ll keep my eyes open for individual uploads, etc.

*According to this promo/preview at Apple Daily, the reason they chose this venue is because it is about to close soon, and Skippy had often visited that store (誠品敦南) while growing up. And he wrote a new song to help say goodbye? 

Have a look at the schedule of events:
