廟街 - Temple Street (Featuring The Offset: Spectacles)

This was an old jam tape recording I did with homies OFFSET: SPECTACLES back in 2011 in Beijing, featuring 3 guitars (Vince, Kee, me on rhythm guitar), Ou Jian on Bass, and Tambo drum machine trigger that was wired to Vince's Guitar.

It will be available on Spacebridge, a Russian tape label that will be releasing this Russian Tour Tape split between DB and homies TONSTARTSSBANDHT for our upcoming Russian tour.

Taiwan artist - Lim Giong / Lin Qiang

One of my favorite Taiwanese artists from 1990, he started off as a singer, mostly writing about travelers that travel from the boonies to Taipei in search of a better life, with their characters being home sick, contemplating about life and future in the big city.  He has since retired and became a film score composer, and occasionally, an actor (see above in the awesome motorcycle scene in the South of Taiwan) His works are mostly known to international audiences from his collaboration with Taiwanese film maker Hou Hsiao Hsien. 

On the road to god knows where 5 ASIA PACFIC

On The Road To God Knows Where 5 Asia Pacific from Alex Zhang Hungtai on Vimeo.

video shot and edited by Alex Zhang Hungtai, on tour in Asia Pacfic, feb 2013.

Unfortunately, there were not much videos for Australia and Hong Kong as I was suffering from a lower back/tail bone injury from falling onto a table while carrying amps. The majority of the time through that first leg I was completely out of it on pereceptimol and codeine....It wasn't until Tokyo that I was completely not on pain killers. I surprised myself how determined I was to finish this tour, even though half of the shows I performed while being on so much codeine that I couldn't even feel my legs (my spine and tail bone were so bruised from the fall that I had a hard time sitting or standing, but I made it through in the end with the help of positive spirits and my bandmates Shub and Bernardino cheering me up holding me up, while I was falling every night....J'taime mes freres)

Each city had its special place in our hearts, and was great to see old friends in Hong Kong and Japan, some in which I haven't seen in 7 years.  But that moment when you see eachother and run and hug eachother like as if it was yesterday that you said good bye to one another.  Time corrodes a lot of things, but some friendships were never meant to be corroded.  Take that, TIME!!!

All and all, this trip made me realize that no matter how far I've trailed and drifted, deep inside, I will always be a child of the Pacific Ocean.
