Because the Band Thing is Cool There, Too

Two Taiwanese Oriental bands have just recently come up on the radar, and besides being ethnically superior, they both share the fact that they're pretty talented. Here are their respective gimmicks:

YMCK, FROM JAPAN, layer beautifully innocent vocals over 8-bit music. Plus, their website consists of fobbed out English and pixelated illustrations. How can you not love them?

John and Ash grew up together in Taiwan, and after being separated for 15 years, presumably because of the zombie revolution (but more likely because of some way less romantic socio-economic reason or school), the two were reunited in New York, rekindled (or started) a romance, and began making sweet music together as Misha (literally and hehe the other kind).

So now that the Taiwanese music revolution is upon us, heed my call, Bobby and Jerome. Let's milk this thing for all it's worth.
