Of all the venues you’ve played, which is your favourite?

All of us feel the most memorable venue we played was our 2022 New Year’s concert in Taichung!

The stage was really big and  there must have been tens of thousands of people in the audience! We were really excited and nervous at the same time. As of now, that’s the biggest stage we’ve ever performed on.

If you could be on the line up with any bands in history?

Kidding: I’d like to perform with Jessie J. She’s my favourite Western pop singer, I really like her confidence on stage and her incomparable singing power!

Jerry: It would probably be Michael Jackson. He was a legendary performer. I have nothing but respect and admiration for him.

Dillion: Only IU comes to mind!

Look: I’d want to perform together with Leo37+SOSS. They feel like family to me.

If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?

Look: I’d want to chat with my family and tell them about my life recently

Jerry: I’d want to spend some time with my other half, either on a sun-soaked beach

in Southeast Asia, or quietly watching the Northern Lights together (even though I

don’t even have a partner at the moment!)

Dillion: I’d spend the hour with a doggie named Nanu. She’s really cute and she’ll often get into position so you can rub her tummy!

Kidding: I’d want to play Arena of Valor with Ashin from Mayday.

Your greatest unsung hero (or heroine) in music?

Dillion: I’d probably say it’s the folks doing all the hard work behind the scenes in music production. It takes a lot of people’s help for a song to come to life. Recording, mixing, production, they all play a huge part!

Look: Actually, I think every person who loves music is a nameless hero. If it wasn’t for all these people who love music, the music industry wouldn’t be what it is today.
