Rock-in-Taichung

Last weekend, we were walking out to a park near the apartment and came across a whole crew of guys setting up for "Rock-in-Taichung", which happened Oct 4-5. There were Taiwan bands playing on two stages from 4PM to 10PM each day. The concert schedule is located here and there are references to each of the bands.

On Saturday night, we came back from dinner and watched a couple of bands. This one was pretty good, with good musician-ship and some decent vocals and harmonies.

The second band (on the other stage) was done up in full painted faces (a la Kiss) and had a very heavy metal style (not to our liking).

We came back on Sunday for a little while and found one band we liked and one we did not. All in all, it was pretty interesting, as the crowd was not your typical rock concert of teens and young adults, but included a lot of families, little kids, and grandparent types as well.
