3 Feet High & Rising: Taiwan's Sunset Rollercoaster Announce State-side "Business Trip" Tour Dates In Support of VANILLA VILLA EP



Sunset Rollercoaster (落日飛車) is a 6-piece Soul-Psych/Synth-Pop band hailing from Taiwan, who have amassed a whopping 7,000,000+ plays on streaming platforms. Sunset Rollercoaster's current roster includes Tseng Kuo-Hung providing vocal/guitar, bassist Chen Hung-Li, drummer Lo Tsun-Lung, Wang Shao-Hsuan on keyboards, Huang Shih-Wei providing additional percussion/drum pads, and saxophonist Huang Hao-Ting. Initially formed around 2009-10, Sunset Rollercoaster quietly released their critically-acclaimed debut full-length, BOSSA NOVA, in 2011 and have since released a ground-breaking EP entitled JINJI KIKKO, as well as their sophomore full-length CASSA NOVA as recently as 2018. Their sound can be best described as a Soul/Pysch-leaning variant of Indie Rock with underlying sonic allusions to Motown, Doo-Wop, Yacht Rock, Adult Contemporary, and Smooth Jazz; "being one of the most romantic bands from Asia, fans nicknamed the band's genre as "Pregnantal[/Pregnant] Rock.'" Sunset Rollercoaster has toured across Asia with sold out shows in China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, and Taiwan, along with world tours reaching as far as North America & Europe.


Sunset Rollercoaster are currently back in Europe on their world-wide 2019 "Business Trip" Tour in support of their latest release, VANILLA VILLA EP. Just yesterday, they announced the next leg of their ongoing "Business Trip" scheduled for Fall 2019 across The US, Canada, and Mexico sponsored by Carhartt. VANILLA VILLA has been widely billed as "a 7-minute concept EP narrating a Sci-Fi-inspired love story, blending together City Pop, Soul, Jazz, and "Cute Prog Rock'" genres. Sunset Rollercoaster's latest EP has already garnered fans at Bandcamp Daily, Paste Magazine, and Voir Magazine, The Boston Herald, Audiotree, and Resident Advisor, amongst others, since being released on streaming platforms world-wide as recently as May 1, 2019. The band's upcoming CANADA+USA+MEXICO "BUSINESS TRIP" TOUR/State-side extension kicks off on Oct. 10th and runs clear through Nov. 2nd with a stop in-between at our very own "local" venue, Johnny Brenda's. Sunset Rollercoaster's VANILLA VILLA EP—strongly recommended for fans of both The Shins & The Stepkids—is now available to download, purchase, or stream directly from your preferred digital streaming platform.

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of...

Jet Planes, Islands, Tigers On a Gold Leash: Lorde - "Royals" (The Weeknd Remixo)

I think it's pretty safe to say that The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) comfortably teeters the fine line between glitched-out smooth New Age R&B and hard-hitting Hip-Hop ; while the same could arguably be said for 16-year-old New Zealand new-comer, Lorde . Her break-out single "Royals" 1/2 jokingly shouts out semi-common bravado-worthy shit like: diamonds, "gold teeth, Grey Goose ... Cadillacs, Cristal, Maybach ... jet planes, islands, [and] tigers on a gold leash." But now, the Lorde/Weeknd connection has been further solidified, as Tesfaye recently managed to conjure up and release his own "Royals" remix. My beautiful girlfriend said earlier, and I paraphrase, that it "makes her wanna dance lol and she could [likely] hear this remix in a future movie!" Following the wide-spread release of her first 2 EP's (Love Club & Tennis Court) , Universal Republic plans to unleash Lorde 's proper debut album, Pure Heroine between ...

Pop Artist & Surfer Chronicle Intriguing Ex-Pornstar In "SASHA GREY."

Seemingly made to co-exist as thought-provoking companion pieces... "LINDSAY LOHAN" directors Richard Phillips & Taylor Steele are back with their most recent Art Presentation, "SASHA GREY." The 90-second short film was shot in early May @ John Lautner Chemosphere House in Los Angeles, CA. Both striking flicks will be shown on a giant floating video screen [ "Commercial Break" ] @ Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Venice, Italy (June 1-5). "Adult acting chops" aside, Sasha (23) seems very intelligent, captivating, free-spirited, business savvy, well-mannered, charming... and dare I say, "average." And I really think that's exactly what Phillips/Steele were trying to convey throughout the course of the piece; Grey's beauty, public draw, sheer likeability, and honesty will surely take her very far in future endeavors... Solidifying her [updated] image as a true "Pop Culture Figure." * Featured soundtra...
