While he does not speak the local Taiwanese dialect, his band nevertheless has a quintessentially Taiwanese feel. The other members of the band include Wang Li-wei (bass), Criss Kuo (drums) and Liao Yi-sheng or Chung Cheng Yang (guitar). To truly appreciate The Clippers, you have to experience their live performances, which are an ever-changing exploration of local Taiwanese cultural elements, energized by the grassroots level of society. Over a thousand performances at venues large and small have shown audiences that the biggest difference between The Clippers and other bands is that they elect to use satire and irony as their weapons, rather than screaming rage. The Clippers’ “music for the average person” has inspired a wave of wacky, nonsensical music in Taiwan. On the surface, they appear to poke fun at all that is senseless in society and everyday life, but if you scratch beneath the surface you’ll discover a deeper layer of critical reflection about Taiwanese culture and society. The rock music that accompanies their performance art is wildly varied, borrowing from pop, funk, ska, and the simple, traditional keyboard tunes known as Taiwanese nakashi. 國際化全面邁進 --
