Igu Band Essentials

This Taiwanese indie rock band veer between sensitive acoustic numbers and wild escapades that spill over with emotion. Guided by the songwriting of lead vocalist Chen Hsiu-Tse, Igu Band relish classic, electric-guitar-driven rock but are equally likely to break out an accordion or throw in a tune that calls to mind an Irish sea shanty. Whichever way they turn, the focus remains on Hsiu-Tse, whose vocals pitch seamlessly from a hush to a shout as the mood requires.
