Power Station to rock Shenzhen Bay| March 11

 

Taiwanese rock duo Power Station will sing their greatest hits in Shenzhen on March 11.

The duo is composed of Yu Chiu-hsin and Yen Chih-lin, both of whom are from the Paiwan tribe of Pingtung County. Their music is characterized by their fast-paced rock ballads, as well as their electrifying rock anthems. Their looks and long hair stand out from the mainstream Chinese pop scene because of their resemblance to typical Western heavy metal musicians. In 2001, Power Station released their first album on the Grand Music label (later known as HIM International Music), “Walking Along Jhonghsiao East Street Nine Times.” The title track of that album (Chinese version of song from 1997 “Takie Tango” by Budka Suflera) won the Silver Award for Best Mandarin Song at the 24th RTHK Top 10 Golden Song Awards.

Yu and Yen graduated from Taiwan Adventist College in Nantou County, and formed a band called Virgin Choir with some friends before forming the band Prominent Position. Finally at the age of 25, they formed Power Station.
