Went to NTU for Zhang Zhengyue's live campus concert on Friday. PY had contacts who knew the execs in Rock Records and so we got in without tix! Haha. Anyway, Zhang Zhengyue was really awesome. He sang eight songs, four from the latest album and four from his previous albums. Have always thought that he is very talented and that his songs are a little 另类。In the end, I realise that he is just someone who loves music and just wants to make music. That's all he cares about. Concerts, autograph sessions, going on air to promote his album, etc are just obligations as an artiste. Looking at his nonchalant attitude during the autograph session and you know why. In fact, except for a five to ten minute interview with Peifen, he didn't even interact with the audience. Sounds aloof? I like. Ha.
Anyway, his band is exactly like him. Two acoustic guitars (including Zhang Zhengyue's), a bassist and a drummer. That's all. What resulted was a 'clean' sound. No electric guitars, no effects, no frills. Everything was just simple and nice. No off keys, no out of tune singing, everything was on the beat. He's good man. Really enjoyed the concert. He's coming back next year for a full-fledged concert. I want to go.
