很榮幸被收錄在 ELLE 的文章中，跟其他優秀的音樂人一起。"椅子"的團名由來再次引起了注意，現在想起來還是非常妙的一件事。
Taiwanese indie trio The Chairs is one of the hottest acts in Taiwan right now. Comprised of 27-year-olds Jing Chiu (lead vocals, guitar, keyboard), Zhong Chen (vocals, guitar), and Benson Sun (bass, backing vocals), The Chairs write and perform retro-style songs in both English and Chinese that span a variety of genres, including psychedelic pop, folk, rock, and retro pop. The band was nominated for multiple awards at the Golden Indie Music Awards in Taiwan in 2016 and 2019 and won the Best Vocal Group Award at the 2019 Golden Melody Awards (the equivalent of the Grammy Awards in the Chinese-speaking world.)
The members first met each other in high school and officially formed their band in college, calling themselves The Chairs in order to enter singing competitions because the room they were in at the time had only guitars and, well, chairs. Now with three albums under their belt, they admit they’re still learning about the music business in Asia and other parts of the world. Their first U.S. tour was cancelled when the pandemic broke out in New York. “It was the toughest time for us,” says Chiu. On the flip side, they’ve been able to spend more time making their new album while in quarantine and plan to release it later this year. “Hopefully when the pandemic ends, we can go to places we’ve never been to to do live shows,” adds Chiu.
