From their early incarnation recording as a duo in an acoustically conducive Taipei toilet in early 2000, to their status as goth-punk torchbearers of the Taipei rock scene, Sky Burial return for a one-off set of originals and covers sure to reanimate any old whores still trudging through life with a hangover and a wincing grin.  So, what’s it to ya?

 

The Band

 

Brian | Guitar, Vocals | AKA Chuck Buzzard

“A chance to scream my vocal chords raw and play punk-prog guitar solos until my fingertips split?—How could I say, “No”?

Buzzard

Lance | Vocals, Harp, Lyricist | AKA Jimmy Vulture

“Here’s your pass to the scene of his undoing

I’m another rubbernecker just like all the rest

Poor bastard said he’d end up stealin’ the headlines

It goes to show there’s no such thing as bad press.”

Vulture

 

John | Bass, Vocals | AKA Jack Hawk

“I have to admit that I originally joined the band to enjoy what I referred to as the “performance art” aspect of it. Now, I totally love the music…some of Lance’s lyrics still make me a tad uneasy, though.”

Jack Hawk

Paul | Drums | AKA Alfie Kite

“I’ve dreamed of playing with a band that has the sound niche I like to emulate,

and I was asked to play with Sky Burial.  Hell Yeah!  Now I get a chance to dress

up and put some make-up on.”
