2011春天吶喊 City Cat-城市貓樂團-虎姑婆…[悠遊墾丁] (by uuktsir)
Here is City Cat (城市貓) from Taiwan. They play twee pop/folk pop. This live clip all I could find on YouTube so far; I definitely recommend hearing more of their tunes over at Indievox, and Streetvoice. Follow on Facebook.
—————————— This looks like another video from the earlier days of WonFu, with Judy doing the singing. I knew Mami wasn’t an original member, but tonight is the first time I’ve seen clips from before she joined the band. Anyway, this is yet another catchy tune from the WonFu gang. =)“旺福 or Wonfu is a Taiwanese alternative band. They have a very American sixties pop music sound and even dress like they came from the era of the Beatles or the Beach Boys. Their songs are in Mandarin and some are in Taiwanese.”
