A Different Kind of Mayday in Taiwan 搖滾不敗!!Rocker —— 五月天
They are named Mayday, but they are far from calling for help. Mayday is a Taiwanese band that got its start in Taipei in 1997. Most high school bands don't make it past graduation, but Mayday knew they had something special. The band credits The Beatles frontmen John Lennon and Paul McCartney with being their biggest inspirations and influencing their resulting sound. As such, they are often dubbed the Chinese Beatles. Those are big shoes to fill, but Mayday is doing a good job. They are currently in the middle of a world tour, in which one leg sold more tickets than Madonna's. Furthermore, Mayday enjoys a great deal of fame at home in Asia. They have even been called the pioneers of rock music in Taiwan. This fame has earned them the notable Golden Melody Award for best band on four separate occasions. Mayday is proof that one doesn't need to travel off this little island to hear good music because it has been right here the whole time.
