I bought the album from their first big arena concert and Wu Qing Feng sings it so movingly. I have it as the ringtone on my mobile phone. It's good because it starts with just some insistent piano notes. They're playing in Taipei this weekend, and then they're heading to Shanghai at the end of October for some bog concerts there. Two friends of mine have great seats--4th row back. Does anyone else like them?

There las album was called 'Spring' and it's a bit upbeat and chirpy, but the new one that's just out is called 'Fever'. I haven't heard anything from it yet, though. It's already registering in the charts, though. I think the lead singer, Wu Qing Feng has a sort of high, reedy voice, but the dude on piano and viola is really talented. And some of the melodies are really nice.

A friend of mine is currently in Shanghai and she met a guy there who has the concert version on the song on HIS mobile. Hurray! The song starts with some insistent piano notes so it's like someone knocking on the door or something. LOL

They sang songs from their Spring and Fever albums, some covers and then some of their most famous songs like Shi Wo De Hai (my favourite!) as encores. A friend of mine who attended the concert wrote a very evocative post about it. The famous blogger who writes One Day in May was also there, wearing a green wig in homage to lead singer Wu Qing Feng! LOL I'm looking forward to catching up with Fever, their London album.
