Kaohsiung is becoming more and more the place to be to see live music performances from both foreign and local performers. New venues are opening and some the older ones are getting in on the action as the demand for good live music grows in this city. In October, Kaohsiung saw the launch of the documentary Voices From The South: Kaohsiung's Independent Music Scene. The film gives us a look at the local music scene and features five of the best independent bands from Kaohsiung. Be sure to check out the trailer here or on the movie's blog site. The movie launch was held outside Mega Department Store and had live performances from all five of the bands featured in the movie. Here are a couple of the live shows coming up in November.

Mid-November Madness at Join Us

SanBa Productions have been hard at work lining up another show at Join Us. On Saturday, November 15th, don't miss Mid-November Madness. The Money$hot Horns will be rocking the house along with performances from Uli and the Rulers, Ryan Fernandez, and Scottie Pimpin'. The show starts at 9pm and will go into the early morning. Tickets are 250NT at the door. Come check it out and enjoy what promises to be a night of great music.

Neilfest III at DC Stage

This year's Neilfest, will be hosted by the newly re-opened DC Stage. On Saturday, November 15th, fans of one of Canada's most important and influential musicians, Neil Young, will be treated to a night of great music. The show will feature a record seven different acts, playing a random sampling of Neil Young's vast catalogue of music. If you're a fan of any of Neil Young's music, then you don't want to miss out on Neilfest III.

These are just two of the live music events happening in Kaohsiung in the month of November. Rumour has it that SanBa is already working out the details for another big show in December, and In Kaohsiung will also be hosting it's first party in the last month of 2008. At In Kaohsiung we're always working to keep the community up to date on what's going on in Kaohsiung, so if you know of any other events that the people here need to know about, just give us a shout and we'll help get the word out there.



Cheers,
The Staff of In Kaohsiung
