- No Fun cover by Taiwanese artist Sorry Mama
In the spring of 2011 former Reader intern Robyn Chang moved to Taiwan to work for Groupon, quit her job, and joined a couple bands. When seven groups from Taiwan flew to Austin to play SXSW last year, Chang wrote about her experience in the Taipei scene in a fantastic Reader post that’s also a pretty convincing case for booking a flight to the tropical island just southeast of China. But if you can’t make it to a rock show in the capital of Taiwan just yet, Chang’s got you covered: she recently teamed up with Kelley Scott to launch Gary Records, a local label dedicated to releasing music by acts from around the globe, and its first release is a split seven-inch that features Taipei garage group Forests.
