很榮幸被收錄在 ELLE 的文章中,跟其他優秀的音樂人一起。"椅子"的團名由來再次引起了注意,現在想起來還是非常妙的一件事。
Taiwanese indie trio The Chairs is one of the hottest acts in Taiwan right now. Comprised of 27-year-olds Jing Chiu (lead vocals, guitar, keyboard), Zhong Chen (vocals, guitar), and Benson Sun (bass, backing vocals), The Chairs write and perform retro-style songs in both English and Chinese that span a variety of genres, including psychedelic pop, folk, rock, and retro pop. The band was nominated for multiple awards at the Golden Indie Music Awards in Taiwan in 2016 and 2019 and won the Best Vocal Group Award at the 2019 Golden Melody Awards (the equivalent of the Grammy Awards in the Chinese-speaking world.)
The members first met each other in high school and officially formed their band in college, calling themselves The Chairs in order to enter singing competitions because the room they were in at the time had only guitars and, well, chairs. Now with three albums under their belt, they admit they’re still learning about the music business in Asia and other parts of the world. Their first U.S. tour was cancelled when the pandemic broke out in New York. “It was the toughest time for us,” says Chiu. On the flip side, they’ve been able to spend more time making their new album while in quarantine and plan to release it later this year. “Hopefully when the pandemic ends, we can go to places we’ve never been to to do live shows,” adds Chiu.

Happy Year of the Rooster! Today the band Freckles released a video introducing their second album "Imperfect Lover," with footage from our recording sessions! It's been a blast producing this album, to be released exactly 10 years after their first album, which I also happened to produce! So this Chinese New Years, aside from family gatherings, it's all studio and mixing. Looking forward to the final product! (and look i'm in the video too!)
又一個新年的過去 and
this is a song for you and me
『 認真的想過 組團彈個電吉他
怎能夠說我這樣是逃避?
也許會很糗 大家都來看我吧!
我不能、我不能、我不能想太多
一直一直走 … 』
2007 年雀斑樂團以「朋友之歌」、「阿呆」、「小美人魚」、「愛的大逃殺」、「火星物語」等洗腦旋律在台灣獨立音樂圈紅及ㄧ時。在沒有專場、沒有真人宣傳、沒有黑箱作業的情況下,四個生性害羞、邊緣、怪僻多的宅男宅女們奇蹟似的創造了《我不懂搖滾樂》專輯的6000張完售絕版, 粉絲們在拍賣網站高價競標的熱烈迴響 ; 潮起潮落,剛打開知名度卻無預警在發行《外星人的真相》後宣布解散閃退;留下傻眼的獨音鄉民以及心碎的團員本人。十年過去,以樂從北京流浪回家、偉安當完兵、偉博繼續修鋼琴、菜圃一邊剪頭髮;因為ㄧ封海洋音樂季的烏龍邀約,雀斑小隊 2.0 就這樣誤打誤撞重新出發!
今年春天最獨一無二的浪漫獻禮!
