A bunch of live clips have been released from Waa Wei 魏如萱’s HAVE A NICE :DAY 巡迴演唱會 concert at Taipei Arena.  The Have A Nice Day album came out in June, 021, and this concert video is from last summer. (?) 

I think the last 3 MVs from this show all feature Waa and most of the band on an auxiliary stage in the center of the venue.  Drums and Keys are back on the main stage.

Producer: 陳建騏 George Chen Arrangement: 張瀚中 Achino Chang, 柯遵毓 Jack Ko, 賴聖文 Peter Lai, 徐平 Hsu Ping, 韓立康 HLK Waa-Vocal/Songwriter Ukulele: 韓立康 Likang Han Bass: Jack Ko 柯遵毓 Keyboard & Accordion: Achino Chang 張瀚中 (阿雞) Drums: 賴聖文 Peter Lai Guitar: 徐平 Ping Hsu Horn Section: 哈管幫 LaBa LaVa: Saxophone/Horn Arrangement: 吳智暉 WaCiaoCool Trumpet: 許晨晞 Nicole Hsu Trombone: 胡世漢 Thomas Hu Backing Vocal: 布蘭地 Brandy Tien, Hang Liu 劉涵 (fr. 隱分子 Infancy Band)

Waa loves to rearrange her humorous tunes from older albums. If you listen on YT or Spotify, you can hear how the songs have evolved over the years.

This is how 吼呦 sounded on the 2011 不允許哭泣的場合 (No Crying) album:

Just read on 黃少雍 Huang Shao yong’s fb that he did a lo-fi arrangement for Waa Wei 魏如萱, I think it is part of a larger compilation, but the song and instrumental is listed as a new single on her Spotify.  (The link Shao-yong posted is for YouTube Music, not regular YT, so I couldn’t embed it here)

Shao-yong played bass in Waa’s band for years, and has also done some electronic arrangements for her recent releases.  He is also part of the electronic band 林瑪黛 matelin, and arranger/producer/head of Dark Paradise Records.

His post from earlier today:

娃娃一直說想要做個Lo-fi的所以特地研��了一下華語Lo-fi後唯一的想法是找一個很爛的鼓手來打很歪的beat，所以找了很愛到處秀鼓技的阿雞，結果他很認真的練了果然打的頗歪，錄鼓的時候連門都沒關放一隻mic在客廳收結果幾乎都用那隻，間奏還吹了一個大便小喇叭。不過吉他認真的找eric來錄了3個take，每個take越彈越好最後選彈最不熟的第一個take。還有小提琴找剛野餐完的蘇子茵，全部拉一些效果。最後錄音娃娃說唱得像壞特好了，然後超鬆的做完了。

魏如萱 waa wei and Lovely Baby band (Achino Chang 張瀚中 (阿雞)-keys/accordion, 韓立康 Likang Han-guitar/synth, 賴聖文 Peter Lai-drums, Jack Ko 柯遵毓-bass, supplemented by cellist Hang Liu 劉涵, and that is 徐平 Lobby Boy on guitar. I think that is a new nickname for 徐皮 Lazybody aka Lazy Hsu.) 

This song (lyrics by Waa, music by Likang Han) is a imaginative new arrangement (by 徐平 Lobby Boy) of the original from 2011, which just goes to show you the versatility of a great song:

Take 25 minutes and go to Instagram and enjoy a very informal rehearsal of Waa Wei and Lovely Baby Band. =D

That gorgeous voice, that infectious laugh... And wow, she is more beautiful than ever. Just turned 39 earlier this month. 0_0

Kinda interesting that they use a click track for part of a couple of the tunes. *blip-blip-blip-blip-blip-blip* Just getting used to playing at the correct tempo for the tunes.

Also, no drummer or bassist at this rehearsal, maybe they are getting ready for a short set somewhere, not a full concert.

Riecky Lu 瑞奇 & Achino Chang 張瀚中 (阿雞) have so many other commitments and projects, it’s great to see them ready to release their own album!  =D

Nineteentael 十九兩樂團  (Achino Chang 張瀚中 (阿雞) & Riecky Lu 瑞奇)

I’ve already begun begging for English subtitles or at least to have an English translation included with the lyrics.  =D

Alulu Kuo worked extensively with the band on the Video/DVD.  She sings/plays accordion with Riecky in 愛的養樂多 Yakult Psyche

This song, 探長馬提諾 Detective Martino, has been in their repertoire for a long time! We’ve posted this clip before, but this is a beautiful quality a/v from TheNextBigThingTW in 2012:

Everything that I loved about them from the beginning: their charming playing, Riecky’s story-telling, how much fun they have on stage.  =D
