This year Urban Nomad’s opening party will morph into a full-blown music festival, with seven bands on a main stage, a DJ stage, a full day outdoor music festival, vendors, and okay, here’s the thing -- THE SHRIMPS ARE COMING! You may think you have seen shrimps before, but you have never seen shrimps like these. They are an eight-piece funk band from Japan that takes the stage dressed as prawns, playing wild, tribal, 70s lo-fi funk. We have filled out the rest of the lineup with the best bands and DJs we can find: Skaraoke, White Eyes, Macbeth, Forests, Marcus Aurelius and others. And we’ve asked them to create the strangest, wildest musical performances they can. Because this is SHRIMP MANIA!!! Guaranteed to be Taiwan’s shrimpiest concert ever!

★★★★ 樂團與DJ的介紹 | BANDS & DJs ★★★★

溺蝦驗屍報告 THE DROWNED SHRIMP! (JP)

Formed in 2001 in Kyoto, the Drowned Shrimps started out playing shrimp funk in little known reefs and backwater tide pools, with more than 100 shrimp musicians cycling through their ranks. In 2013, they made their way out of the ocean and up mountain streams to Fuji Rock, where they won “Best Rookie Band”, getting more than twice the votes of any other band. In 2014, they were assigned to play one of Fuji Rock’s main stages and stupefied an audience of 5,000 land-walking humans, in a late-night shrimp mania dance party. Other gigs have followed. They have been called “the weirdest band in the world” on more than one occasion. This does not bother them, because they are shrimps.

馬克白 MACBETH

Since forming in 2008, Macbeth has become one of the most critically acclaimed indie bands in Taiwan for an intense post-punk sound often compared to Joy Division. The band has contributed a theme song to the Golden Horse Film Festival, and their debut album HANDS was declared the best album of the year by Hong Kong’s Bitetone Magazine and garnered nominations at Taiwan’s Golden Indie Music Awards.

森林合唱團 FORESTS

Hailing from Taiwan: the land where cigarettes, outdoor drinking, and 2-wheeled transportation is still common, Forests have been making fuzzy and fast music for you. Yes, I do mean you. Music so perfect for surf and/or turf that you need to wear boots with your swim trunks like Grandpa intended. Embrace them and make them a part of your life. Rock as hard as you want, but be certain to bring another pair of socks.

SKARAOKE 司卡拉OK大樂隊 

Skaraoke are Taiwan’s undisputed ska champions and one of the island’s best party bands. Formed in 2007 by band leader Thomas Hu, the music draws on the tradition of late 70s British ska, delivering fast, dancy beats with a full-tilt rock n roll attitude. True to their roots, they’ve also adapted some of Taiwan’s own island music, adding a dash of nakashi to the gospel of rocksteady.

DC & THE FUNKY DUDS

DC Rapier is well known sax man and vocalist with an extensive repertoire of blues, soul and classic R&B. Unwilling to live in a city without funk, he put together DC & the Funky Duds to keep the horn-driven tunes of classic funk and soul alive and well in Taipei. For this, we owe him a debt of gratitude!

MARCUS AURELIUS

Who else could follow the Shrimps? Marcus Aurelius has been one of Taiwan’s top DJs for the past decade and played parties with Diplo, Grandmaster Flash and LMFAO as well as more subtle geniuses like Dave Nada, Scratch Bastid and Miguel Migs. Expect classic hip-hop, foot-stomping funk, smoothed-out soul, sweaty dancehall, head-nodding house, groovy moombahton, ticked-out trap and booty-shaking twerk from past, present and future.
