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.
