Meet Mr. Bamboostick’s Taiwan-based band, a dynamic collective breathing life into the songwriter’s intricately arranged originals—and the occasional cover—with a genre-blurring flair. Their sound surfs the waves of driving rock (think surf, punk), dips into cranky blues and stanky funk, bounces through carefree reggae pop, and unwinds with mellow R&B, all while weaving in threads of jazz, bossa nova, and neo soul. The result? A celebration of both simplicity and complexity, where every cadence tells a story. Lyrically, the band traverses English, German, and Chinese, exploring themes as varied as stream-of-consciousness whimsy, free love, self-doubt, and the quiet triumph of self-acceptance. Even a cryptic diss track—born from a need for catharsis—finds its place in their eclectic repertoire, proving that peace and passion can coexist. Backing Mr. Bamboostick (gtr/voc) is a powerhouse line-up: Shou-chien Lin on guitar, Toby Harris on keys and trumpet, Marc Reig on bass, Michael Lai on drums, and percussionist Shawn Lin. Together, they’re bringing these vibrant, poetic works to the stages of Taiwan and beyond, one genre-defying performance at a time. SutureSelf 訴求卸縛 — 樂團簡介 認識竹竿君的台灣樂團，這支充滿活力的團體以模糊流派界線的風采，為這位創作歌手精心編排的原創作品——以及偶爾的翻唱曲目——注入生命力。他們的音樂乘著奔放搖滾的浪潮（想像衝浪搖滾與龐克的交融），浸潤於陰鬱藍調與骯髒放克，在悠閒雷鬼流行樂中跳躍，最終以醇厚節奏藍調舒展身心，其間更交織著爵士、巴薩諾瓦與新靈魂樂的絲線。成果如何？既是簡約與複雜的雙重慶典，每個節奏都訴說著故事。 歌詞方面，樂團橫跨英語、德語與中文，探索的主題涵蓋意識流奇想、自由戀愛、自我懷疑，乃至自我接納的靜默勝利。就連源於宣洩需求的隱晦diss曲，也在其多元曲目中找到歸宿，證明了平和與激情可共存共生。 以主唱兼吉他手竹竿君為核心，樂團集結了強大的陣容：吉他手林守謙、鍵盤與小號手 Toby Harris、貝斯手 Marc Reig，鼓手 Michael Lai，以及打擊樂手林俞翔。他們正將這些充滿生命力的詩意作品帶往台灣乃至全球的舞台，以每場突破流派框架的演出，持續點亮音樂的火炬。
