The 3rd “Hello Taiwan NYC!” Concert was held on May 17 from 6pm-10pm. The six bands, DJ Code & Red, Yuhan Su, Sun Of Morning, OVDS, Uzuhi, and The Hsu-nami had rocked the Santos Party House.
It is an honor to feature three famous bands from Taiwan together with three popular U.S. bands in the Santos Party House. Jet lag did not affect the performances of the Taiwanese bands. They quickly brought the Santos Party House to its climax. Each band has its own uniqueness and characteristic. All of them connect to the audience with their passion, enthusiasm, and messages of a better world. It was a great chance to enjoy and rock the night with the famous bands with an unbelievably low priced admission. It was an amazing and enjoyable night that we didn’t want to be over.
Hope you guys had a chance to meet with these amazing bands through their journey in the U.S. If you miss it, just come and support the next “Hello Taiwan NYC” concert, please visit: https://www.facebook.com/HelloTaiwanRocks or stay tune with http://www.asianinny.com.
