This post just kills me:

We are three friends from Chicago, and Ohio and we are here in Taiwan for the winter holiday. We have been going around on our own for a couple days now and now need some friends to go out with and drink. We are NOT Gay, and are not looking for gay experiences, no sexy time with men. We are 3 straight dudes, looking to have fun in Taiwan this break.

Text messages will be answered only if they include words “not gay” and broken english is a requirement.

Big Banging Boom Boom oh my Dear God awesome reggae night. Who can do that??? — Black Reign.

Black Reign was born out of the O-Brothaz Sound System, which was started five years ago by Oliver Harley, aka Lion, a Jamaica native, and Taili, who grew up in Paris and is of Martiniquan descent. A chance encounter on the streets of Taipei brought the two together, and a mutual passion for mixing Caribbean beats led to their partnership.
O-Brothaz enjoyed reasonable success, filling rooms with as many as 600 people. But Lion and Taili wanted to take things further and look beyond Taiwan, so they recast O-Brothaz as a record label and production studio and created Black Reign, expanding into a collective of four DJs from the Caribbean and Japan.
The group includes DJs General Young Blood of Jamaica, Fyah B of Belize and Katzu of Japan. Together their sound covers a wide spectrum: dancehall, roots, souk, and Calypso, and even hip-hop and R ’n’ B.

是時候該來一場爽到出汁的雷鬼趴了.

Black Reign 介紹:
Black Reign是O-Brothaz Sound System旗下的一群DJ組合.
其中有來自牙買加的Lion
…馬丁尼島的Taili
又網羅了同樣來自牙買加的General Young Blood
貝里斯的Fyah B,和來自日本的Katzu.

當 Lion和Taili在台北認識的時候,
兩個同樣熱愛雷鬼音樂的人發現台灣這樣的音樂還不盛行,
於是他們由 Black Reign 開始把雷鬼音樂介紹給台灣.
裡面的五個人各有各的特色.
除了雷鬼,還有最近火紅的Dancehall
(不熟嗎??? Dancehall代表人物—Sean Paul),
也同時包含大家耳熟能詳的RnB, HipHop等.

Black Reign在台灣各地舉辦過大大小小的派對,
去年也在東北角的海灘來了那麼幾場,
讓高雄許多人都殘念.想想看那畫面,海灘,陽光,雷鬼,雞尾酒…
這不就是度假才有的嗎???
好吧.現在還不是夏天.但是高雄的大家也受夠了冬天了吧?
這場原汁原味的雷鬼趴,
保證讓你聞到夏天的味道,感受的被陽光溫暖的微風…
喜歡雷鬼 喜歡跳舞 喜歡隨著音樂擺動,今天晚上來紅磚地窖,就對了.!

feardrive is a rock/punk band formed in the dawn of 2010 in Taipei. Influenced heavily by bands like the Ramones, SNFU, The Smalls, Face to Face and a variety of 80’s and 90’s metal bands, feardrive has created a unique and simple sound which shouldn’t put you to sleep.
