Live review from Underground 68½:
This is a quirky band only in the sense of the vocalist/frontman’s dress style. Donning dark glasses with a loud snakeskin suit, he commanded attention in an odd sort of way. With your eyes shut, this voice is attractive to me with an interesting kind of vibrato. In-between songs, it was entertaining to hear him encouraging the audience to say ‘ricemagnet’ The songs are all in Mandarin and since I don’t understand Mandarin by the end of their set I thought they all sounded a bit alike, perhaps this is a wake-up call for me to learn Mandarin.
