The name comes from the female Spanish painter Remedios Varo. Their music sounds like it is racing with their namesake's surreal images. This race becomes a journal of psychedelic, charming, and sensitive moments. The founding member of VARO - Wan Ting, was an also a foun- ding member and the guitarist of Ladybug, Taiwan's pioneer seminal underground rock band. The band has inspired and influenced much of the independent music scene in Taiwan. They were the first Taiwanese rock band to tour the USA, completing two tours between 1997 and 1998. These tours featured performances at the North By Northwest F- estival in Portland and the CMJ music festival New York City. Ladyb- ug released two albums, Ladybug in 1997 and Let the Spaceman Dance in 1998. Their debut album Ladybug was also released by Australia l- abel "Shock" in States and Australia in 1998 and became first ever Taiwanese artist got on CMJ music chart in the US. Wan Ting moved to Chicago in 2000, studying sound engineering. She f- ormed a new band, Orange Space, and released a self-titled EP in 2001 . in 2002. She returned to Taiwan in 2003, leaving Ladybug, starting up Tin Pan Alley and VARO. From year 1996 founding Ladybug to 2003 VARO, Wan Ting has been played shows with indie heroes such as Cat Power, Dirty 3, Fourtet, Superchunk, Yo La Tengo, Damon and Naomi, June of 44, Seam, Versus in both Taiwan and States. VARO seems to suffering from a collective brian wrong that is gloriou- sly, euphorically right. You can catch VARO performing live Thursday 5th at 161 club in CDB, Friday 6th at Rob Roy in Brunswick, Saturday at Pony Bar city, Sunday 8th at The Vic Hotel in Collingwood also dat- es with local hero Baseball in Sydney.
