很榮幸被收錄在 ELLE 的文章中，跟其他優秀的音樂人一起。"椅子"的團名由來再次引起了注意，現在想起來還是非常妙的一件事。
Taiwanese indie trio The Chairs is one of the hottest acts in Taiwan right now. Comprised of 27-year-olds Jing Chiu (lead vocals, guitar, keyboard), Zhong Chen (vocals, guitar), and Benson Sun (bass, backing vocals), The Chairs write and perform retro-style songs in both English and Chinese that span a variety of genres, including psychedelic pop, folk, rock, and retro pop. The band was nominated for multiple awards at the Golden Indie Music Awards in Taiwan in 2016 and 2019 and won the Best Vocal Group Award at the 2019 Golden Melody Awards (the equivalent of the Grammy Awards in the Chinese-speaking world.)
The members first met each other in high school and officially formed their band in college, calling themselves The Chairs in order to enter singing competitions because the room they were in at the time had only guitars and, well, chairs. Now with three albums under their belt, they admit they’re still learning about the music business in Asia and other parts of the world. Their first U.S. tour was cancelled when the pandemic broke out in New York. “It was the toughest time for us,” says Chiu. On the flip side, they’ve been able to spend more time making their new album while in quarantine and plan to release it later this year. “Hopefully when the pandemic ends, we can go to places we’ve never been to to do live shows,” adds Chiu.

Quotes mentioned:
"To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which canceled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself—that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word—doublethink—involved the use of doublethink."
"If one is to rule and to continue ruling, one must be able to dislocate the sense of reality. For the secret of rulership is to combine a belief in one's own infallibility with the power to learn from past mistakes."
"Those who control the present, control the past, and those who control the past, control the future."
