An international renowned progressive rock band from the United States. The Hsu-nami, named after the frontman Jack Hsu, became known as the first \u201cProgressive Erhu Rock\u201d band in the world. The Hsu-nami integrates an amplified \u201derhu\u201d, a two-string spike fiddle used in Chinese classical and folk music, into an instrumental progressive rock sound. Their music is marked by virtuosic erhu melodies and shredding licks, in place of vocals, as intertwined by heavy guitar riffs, tasteful guitar solos, funky rhythms, and metal-driven rock drumming. Part of the new-fusion rock movement, the Hsu-nami redefines the 1960s and 1970s fusion rock sound.\u00a0 Hsu-nami\u2019s music was featured in the 2008 Summer Olympic in Beijing. The track \u201cRising of the sun\u201d was the theme music representing the Chinese Basketball team entrance theme.<\/p>\n The Hsu-nami’s websites I am Confused, takes us through a delightful experience back in the 90\u2019s indie scene, where vocalist Ariel raps like Princess Superstar and at the same time captivates us with a voice that wonderfully parodies Shirley Manson\u2019s(Garbage). The amazing energy that comes out of every song reminds me of the \u201cNew Wave of New Wave\u201d Elastica that emerged from the Pre-Britpop days and has every ability to rise as the leading Riot Girrrlz of today!!!<\/p>\n Go Chic’s Myspace: http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/gochictheband <\/a> Hsu-nami band and electronica\/punk\/hipster band from Taiwan’s “Go Chic” will host a charity concert event at Arlene’s Grocery (95 Stanton Street) to raise money for “Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami” relief.\u00a0 Join AsianInNY, we will be there to support this great cause!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[4791,4613,4790,2079,4938,4872],"class_list":["post-9920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events","tag-arlenes-grocery","tag-asian-girls","tag-go-chic","tag-hsu-nami","tag-jack-hsu","tag-taiwan-band"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9920"}],"version-history":[{"count":43,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9920\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10099,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9920\/revisions\/10099"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/p>\n

\nGo Chic describes their music as \u201cElectro-Hyphy-Chicks, Hybridized Punk-Blues-Rock\u201d or \u201csound like Peaches, CSS, Le Tigre\u201d. However, it is far too simple to depict them as merely an electro punk band after listening to their debut album- I am Confused. Such as my favorite track \u201c2010\u201d, puts together electro punk\/electro-garage-rock elements that sound like the spark of when Soulwax meets Garbage. 8-Bit inspired tunes remind me of the 8-Bit Thrash craze led by Crystal Castles. Striding on the steps of Disco-Funk is \u201cDance With Her\u201d, a perfect tribute to the Disco Punk spirit of DFA. Not to mention \u201cWe\u2019re All Lovers & Runners\u201d, where they have a sniff of 80\u2019s New Wave, which is the \u201chappiest\u201d track in this album.<\/p>\n
