The Straits Times Life!People Jocelyn Lee TAIWANESE indie band sodagreen proved they deserved to win the Best Band prize in Taiwan's Golden Melody Awards for last year and this year with a highlight-packed concert at the Max Pavilion last Saturday. For more than 2½hours, the six-member group entertained the almost full house crowd of 3,500 with a good mix of energetic numbers, moving ballads and tight music arrangements, coupled with humourous and lively interaction among the bandmates and with the audience. They kicked off with the ballad Incomparable Beauty from their third album of the same name. They were greeted by screaming fans, who ran gamut from young people in their teens to 40somethings, many of whom wore green and carried green lightsticks to show their support. Affable lead vocalist Wu Cheng-feng, sporting purple-grey spiky hair with a black and white outfit, was in top form as he wowed the crowd with his signature high-pitched and powerful vocals, switching smoothly from soulful ballads to fast rock numbers and back to ballads again. The 26-year-old got everyone on their feet in the fast-paced second song, Believe in Music, as he jumped energetically on stage with his bandmates and signalled for the crowd to do the same. From then on, there was no stopping the band as they tore through 27 songs in a gig that had fans screaming for more. Keyboardist/violinist Kung Yu-chi showed off his groove when he came forward for a solo spot during Temporarily Out of Control. The 28-year-old's exaggerated dance steps had the crowd laughing. Other standout moments included an intriguing rock take on Teresa Teng's famous ballad, I Only Care About You, rearranged for violin, drums and electric guitars as well as the touching piano ballad, Little Love Song. Interestingly, Wu used two microphones most of the time to fully amplify his main vocals and echoes. The results melted the audience's hearts, especially in the ballad, Little Love Song. The talkative charmer flirted throughout the concert and thanked everyone for choosing sodagreen over SingFest, the large scale outdoor music festival also happening over the weekend. And he accommodated the fans' requests for the encore, singing five songs. It was a generous encore but fans could have danced all night to sodagreen. -- 青峰你真的是個talkative charmer!
