UMUSICLIVE Concert
Hsu-nami, Tizzy Bac, Van Fan

Sirius Stage @ Harbourfront Centre
235 Queens Quay West

To make music truly universal, unlimited and (yo)urs, the online music station UMUSICLIVE.com strives to provide a platform where more music, regardless of region, genre or popularity can be listened. UMUSICLIVE concert brings some of these musicians to the 2009 TELUS TAIWANfest to perform live. This year three bands from North America and Taiwan will be rocking together. The music will take the audience on a journey across the Pacific Ocean and back. Choice of innovative musicians will provide an alternative experience to the mainstream pop music. It will also provide musicians a chance to communicate and exchange through notes.

Representing Taiwan, Tizzy Bac is different from an ordinary band where there is no guitarist. All guitar effects such as distortion/overdrive are made by bass. Piano/keyboard is the mainstream of their arrangements, and thus they are well known as a "piano rock" band. The band recently released the third studio album in February 2009. Elements from various musical style and possibilities of fusing all kinds of expression can be found in the arrangement. http://www.tizzybac.com.tw/

The second band from Taiwan to perform in UMUSICLIVE concert is Van Fan and his band. While the movie, "Cape No. 7," whose box office is only second to "Titanic" will be played as part of the programming of TAIWANfest, the lead actor/singer, Van Fan is invited to sing at the concert. Began as a singer, Van Fan went through a rough patch before he found his other talent and passion in acting. Van Fan found him able to express the emotion in the songs better than before after the training as an actor. Inspired by Guns N' Roses, Van Fan's music is characterized with soft rock.

From New York, "Hsu-nami" is founded by Jack Hsu from Taiwan. The band is the first ever "Er-hu prog rock group" in the world. Its music features fusion of various styles from metal, psychedelic, prog rock to funk, incorporating the use of an amplified ''Erhu'' in place of lead vocals; it successfully showcases the cultural collaboration between the East and the West.

Kollaboration launches their 3rd annual acoustic talent event, scheduled for Saturday, August 22, 2009 at the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre in Hollywood, CA.

Kollaboration Acoustic 3 will take place on Saturday, August 22nd 2009, 7:30pm at the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre in Hollywood as the third and final Kollaboration show to take place in Southern California this year. Following the main Kollaboration 9 show which boasts 6,000 sold-out seats at the Shrine Auditorium this past February and the recent success of Kollaboration Hip Hop and Laugh-Off at the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre, Kollaboration is bringing its Acoustic 3 show back to the same location for another unique evening for music and inspiring new talents.

Acoustic 3 will bring to the arena musicians that perform their vocals with various non-electrical instruments such as percussions, string and woodwind instruments. As an annual talent competition, 10 musical acts were selected after a competitive round of auditions in front of Kollaboration judges. Similar to our past performers, many of this year’s performers have already garnered well established internet followings, while others are looking to Acoustic 3 to introduce their talents to a new fan base.

This year’s performers to compete for First Place and $1,000 include: Gabe Bondoc, Mike Isberto, AJ Rafael Band, Susanna Yoon, Afraid of Everest, Jinah Kim, Megan Lee, David Tran aka Applesauce, Yoori Park and Alfa Garcia. Thanks to Verizon Wireless, a live Verizon Wireless Audience Choice Award Winner will also receive $1,000 via text message voting from the audience in attendance that evening. In addition to the musical raw talent, Acoustic 3 will also present comedienne Monrok, a regular with a very loyal following at The Comedy Store, The Hollywood Improv and the Ice House in Pasadena and comedian Jimmy Brogan, guest star of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with David Letterman and The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson. Additional guest performers and guest judges will also be present.
Kollaboration Acoustic 3 will be another platform for the growing number of API (Asian Pacific Islander) artists and the greater API community to come together to celebrate under the summer stars in an intimate and friendly environment. Ford Amphitheatre, will seat 1,200 and is located at 2580 Cahuenga Blvd. East, Hollywood, CA 90068 off the 101 Hollywood Freeway across from the Hollywood Bowl and south of Universal Studios.
