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.
