No Party For Cao Dong, the dynamic indie rock force from Taiwan, comprises Wood Lin (vocals and guitar), Judy Chan (guitar), Sam Yang (bass), and Huang Shih-wei (drums). With a fusion of alternative rock, indie rock, post-rock, and grunge, they’ve carved a distinct niche in the music scene.
Their international presence was marked by performances at prestigious festivals like SXSW and NXNE in 2019, showcasing their electrifying stage presence and genre-bending sound. In the same year, they showcased their versatility by composing and recording the title song for the video game “Devotion” by Red Candle Games.
Despite facing setbacks due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the indefinite delay of their anticipated album release in early 2020, the band demonstrated resilience and creativity. Hosting innovative livestream events on their YouTube channel, they engaged fans with interactive storytelling sessions, culminating in the debut of a new song amidst the credits of the final episode on May 23.
No Party For Cao Dong’s ability to adapt and innovate in the face of adversity underscores their commitment to their craft and connection with their audience. With each performance and release, they continue to push boundaries and captivate listeners with their evocative melodies and compelling narratives.
