“Hello Taiwan Rocks!” organizers including AsianInNY.com, Passport to Taiwan Festival, and Tai-Ke New York spent a lot of time and efforts in putting this event together at the Taiwan Center located in Flushing New York to wish to provide an opportunity for the indie bands to showcase their music and for the younger generation to unite, celebrate and network. During the concert night, there were many special guests who showed up to support the event including representatives of Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York and and Cultural Center of TECO-NY.

The event provided a platform for the bands to perform while the fans got to listen to many amazing Taiwanese bands perform for a night of rock-and-roll, a cultural night to promote Taiwan and also an opportunity to get together before the Thanksgiving festivities.

This year the organizers introduced four terrific bands, they are Coda Resistance, Bikini Carwash, Exit Clov and Torpid May. The four bands totally brought down the house and gave the audience an unforgettable night to remember!
