I want you motherfuckers to go crazy for this last one!
I want this fucking place to get destroyed. I want you guys to fucking move.
What do you people fucking move for me?
We kind of became friends through our mutual interest in Japanese rock bands.
Me and Jack would talk online late at night or hang out in the dorms.
We would talk about bands like Ex-Japan and Bees and things like that.
I was in a acoustic duo, a coffee house kind of thing.
He knew we had a band and we'd been hanging out and he needed a backup band
because the guy who was in the duo was in Boston and he asked us to be his backup band.
Our metal band wasn't going anywhere.
The second month that we formed, we got invited to like Union Square to perform at Taiwanese festival.
And we kind of kind of shut down the street almost.
There was people dancing, homeless people started dancing to our music.
I was impressed by, I don't know if anybody else.
That was kind of cool with dude in a garbage bag dancing to our music.
It just kind of stuck.
We were playing another Asian culture festival in Union Square.
And it was televised by ASEAN television.
The program director, this guy who worked for MBA, really liked this.
He liked this a lot.
And he said, please give me a CD because I'd like to use you guys in the future.
I'm not going to say no.
And around a month later he emails me and he was like,
I'd like to use your music for the Olympics, would that be okay?
And I was tempted just to say no, just mess with him.
But I was like, hell yeah, of course, please.
And it wasn't until like a week before the Olympics that I found out that it was going to be the entrance theme for the Chinese basketball team.
In BC, there were an every major news article.
For the whole month of August, I was on the phone talking to reporters.
I've never seen an erhu before.
As I say, erhu?
Yeah.
Like how you got started with that.
I was in Taiwan and I decided to move to the US.
And my parents told me to like take something from the Chinese culture.
Have you ever seen it used in the way in which you play it?
Or is it usually traditional?
It's all traditional.
Like if you go to Chinatown, New York City, there's always a guy playing traditional erhu on the subways.
And it also takes from my influence, classical violin influence, traditional folk song influence.
It makes everything together.
It's all traditional.
