Doodle , The Third Party

Doodle
Founded in 2004 but often on hiatus, Doodle finally released their debut full-length CD "Sacrifice in Despair" this year, and it's a doozy! Recorded at Miss Stocking/8mm Sky drummer Zen's 112F Recording Studio and mastered in America by Golden Mastering, Doodle have created a sprawling, ambitious work of art. Their self-proclaimed desire to create music with elements from 'every era' rings quite true. The album contains Byrds-ish harmonies, trippy jams reminiscent of The Doors, early-80s Goth akin to Bauhaus/Jesus and Mary Chain, and shoe gaze drone. Definitely one of the more interesting releases of the year!

The Third Party
If you view the world from a third-party perspective, you will find everything is a bit different... The Third Party are a young (formed in August 2010) band based in Tainan. Their music, self-admittedly not heavy on technical skills but steeped with emotion, is a mix of rock, post-rock and British rock. In their relatively short existence, they are already averaging two shows per month. This show will be their debut at The Mercury.
