Taiwanese pop band I Mean Us has been selected by the Austin-based South by Southwest music festival as one of this year’s “Austin 100.”
Each year, organizers of the world-famous festival select 100 independent or little-known bands for the list, giving them greater exposure. This is the first time that a Taiwanese band has made the list.
I Mean Us was formed in 2015. Its style combines indie pop, noise pop, dream pop, and shoegaze.
A delegation made up of six Taiwanese bands, including I Mean Us, will be attending the South by Southwest festival from March 8 to 17. Their goal is to introduce Taiwanese musicians to the rest of the world. The six bands are scheduled to perform at an event called “Taiwan Beats” next Wednesday.
