◎Pop music Soda Green is an 8-year-old band
A group of people sat down in a lively and lively manner. There were six members in Soda Green, most of whom had just graduated from college or were admitted to graduate school. Interviewing them was more like It’s the teacher who asks questions in class. After a question is thrown out, there is always a short period of awkward silence where they don’t know who should answer, and then they start talking about each other and shouting about which representative to send to answer.
Gradually emerging
Most of the members of Soda Green are students of National Chengchi University. Drummer Xiaowei, bassist Xinyi and vocalist Qingfeng formed the group when they were in the attached middle school. Everyone was admitted to National Chengchi University by chance, and the middle After several changes of members, electric guitarist Akai and guitarist Afu joined one after another. Finally, violinist Agong joined the group last year, completing the current lineup. The reason why Soda Green is called Soda Green is not because the name has any profound meaning, but simply because the band members feel that "Soda" is a suitable word to describe their music. The lead singer Qingfeng likes the color green, so the name "Soda Green" was chosen.
Soda Green, which won the Jury Prize at this year’s Ocean Music Season, was lucky enough to receive an invitation from the well-known producer Lin Weizhe on the spot and had the opportunity to enter the record market and release a single record. "Lin Weizhe came to us backstage and handed me his business card." Qingfeng said: "I was so frightened on the spot that I immediately ran to tell other members: 'Hey! He is Lin Weizhe!' Unexpectedly, their reaction was: 'Huh? Who is Lin Weizhe? '"
In fact, before Lin Weizhe, many knowledgeable musicians had explored the possibility of releasing films from Soda Green, but in the end they all came to nothing. "Because some of them want to change us; some just want to accept a certain feature of our music, and we cannot accept it." Xinyi said: "But Lin Weizhe accepts our strengths and weaknesses at the same time, and does not try to change us, but Let our strengths shine."
Unclassifiable
Sodagreen's music is hard to define. It's a bit like British rock, but not quite. This may be related to the fact that the six members have very different enlightenment and tastes in music. Drummer Serena's father is a pastor, and she grew up listening to church music; Akai's musical enlightenment was Led Zeppelin, which was introduced to him by his college senior; Agon started learning piano at the age of 4 and was most deeply influenced by classical music; Qingfeng's After junior high school, he received the Mandarin pop records left by his sister and started listening to Faye Wong's "Sky"; When the first album was made by Back Street Boys, they were immediately bombarded by members of the group: "Thank you for being able to speak out!" and "How embarrassing for you!" The impact of such diverse musical preferences and styles created Soda Green that cannot be categorized. music style. Even if each other's music tastes are different, everyone will abandon their prejudices when creating and arranging music. The only discussion is: does this thing sound good? Do you like each other?
Six people picked up their musical instruments and spread out their array to take pictures in the bustling Ximending. It was indeed a very ostentatious act, attracting many people to stop and watch. A male student timidly picked up the camera and asked me: "Can I take pictures?" I asked curiously: "Do you know who they are?" The male student said: "Of course I do, they are soda green! I like them so much Song."
This is Sodagreen's third CD, three new songs that have never been released before, "Believe In Music", "I Don't Care", and "Spider Sky", which were released in July 2004. The recording of the live performance at The Stage on March 24th also contains two Music Videos, so it can also be called AVCD.
Some people say that Soda Green sounds better live than in the studio. In fact, live recording is a very harsh test. You can come back again if you make a mistake in the studio, but you only have one chance to perform live. Of course, with modern recording technology, it is possible to fix the errors of the day's performance, but in the post-production of this record, Soda Green did not include any re-singing or re-playing parts. The producer only tried his best to capture the atmosphere of the live performance that day.
Because I believe in the magic of music, I believe in the charm of Sodagreen’s live performance, and I believe that music should not be fake. So, let's do it, let forever become forever, a beautiful and expressive record. Soda Green that day was very rock and roll, very different from the style of the previous two singles "Audio-Visual and Illusion in the Air" and "Flying Fish".
This rookie band with endless imagination and unable to clearly define their music style, with a precocious attitude and technology that is rare among young bands in Taiwan, bravely challenges their own limits and soars with breathless explosive power. It's rock and roll, but still retains the original gorgeous beauty. This is soda green, which always brings unexpected surprises.
