Wow, the irony is astounding. For those of you outside of Taiwan, the Taichung city government just closed the last of what they refer to as 'music pubs.' Most of the other pubs have been closed too. Here's their public info page about the awesome nightlife here. Actually the Taichung city nightlife was one of the main reasons I wanted to come to Taichung instead of many other places I read about. Now, it's almost all gone...

Blues/rock battle to the death! Chen Mo 沉默之音 -VS- 88 Balaz!
Oh my heavens, who the heck are those wild-men??? And what is that latin-blues madness??? Seriously though, did I luck out in finding such awesome players to make music with or what? (sniff...sniff...) I love you guys!
Last night was another great night. I really enjoy performing with our friends from 88 Balaz!

Re-Moving The Refuge
Helping re-move The Refuge. Unfortunately the partners that Paul was with at the 'New Refuge' didn't quite work out, so he had to move the stuff back to the 'Old Refuge.'Hopefully the situation resolves itself quickly... It's about the only place us foreigners have left to go in the Taichung area!

Advert. page
New advertisement page I put together using How wei's CD cover design. This will run in the Compass magazine full page ad we got as payment for our performance at the annual International Food and Music Festival. I'd say it's well worth it, as full page ad space costs about $1000usd!
