THE BANDS:
The Chairman/董事長樂團

Pig Head Skin/豬頭皮
Yueh-hsin Chu, better known as Pig Head Skin, has been an icon in Taiwan’s music scene since his ground-breaking sampling-rich album Funny Rap (1994). Many found his satirical lyrics about Taiwanese society hilarious while some found them shocking. Since 2001, Chu has led the band Jesus Rocks! with members of the Youth Ministry Committee of the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan.
9m88 (Joanne Baba)/小芭
Born in Taipei in 90’s. She has always been in love with R&B/Hip-hop/Jazz. She came to NY last year as an intern and accidentally performed in Spike Hill that led to her return back to New York. This year she came back as a student of Jazz and will be opening up the concert with DJ Tou Tou, who is also from Taiwan.
