Soho Street Chili-cookoff KIDZ Charity

It was an awesome day yesterday on Taichung’s Soho St. and a great cause. I played a set with Shao-Yi and then jammed with a bunch of people like Chris Baily from 3 Day Bender. P.J. tried to get me drunk -but I know when to say when! Better luck next time bro!

Are you gonna be my girl?

The hottest new tune by the hottest new Taiwan band -The Silence. Music by Shao-Yi lyrics Mike Mudd and Shao-Yi. This was recorded live at Retro on April 10, 2010.

non-existent blues

National Non-Existence Day: Apr 16, 2010.

Everyone as great as James Tillich deserves his/her own anthem! You’ve never heard of James Tillich? That’s not surprising because he doesn’t exist! He’s the most famous non-existent philosopher in history! I wrote this song in honor of the (non) man on the day set aside to honor him and all non-existence...

It's very easy for a non-existent singer-songwriter to identify with a non-existent philosopher... That’s why my head’s cut off!

Retro Taichung

This place has quickly become my favorite Taichung cafe-style venue. The owner Scott Chen is awesome, the space is awesome, the vibe is awesome. And to top it off Scott takes phenomenal photos and records every show on video! WOW! We’ll be back on July 10th...

Match cafe - party & BBQ

Kick-butt party last night at Match Cafe with 3 bands -The Silence, Absynthe, and Independent Race. Shao-Yi is in all three bands. How he finds the time I have no idea!
