兩年前,從沒想過我會和大自己將近十歲的叔叔阿伯們一起玩團,還錄了一張專輯。記得第一次練團在大吉祥,一上來就跑擺渡人:帝亞吉他超強音壓、大眼如影隨形的 RIFF 、撥屎彷彿要尻壞拾音器的氣勢以及阿顯隨時要腦中風的唱法輪番洗禮,當下只覺得天呀鼓離我好遠大吉祥好大我怎麼撐得起這個樂團啊!
果然,一路走來被釘的東倒西歪,磨合期充滿挫折。除了技術和力道上的不足,生活經驗的差異也超大。非人物種就像是一個大家族:十分重視團員之間情感交流,每次表演完大家幾乎都會喧鬧到天亮,平常沒事也都約在雞排店吃飯喝酒聊天。對他們來說,一個軋了三個團又經常需要待在實驗室的碩士生鼓手,大概就像剛領養回來正值青春期的小孩一樣吧。我也想弭平這份尷尬,總是告訴自己要做好鼓手的職責穩定拍子、花心思去揣摩小葉或喵的打法,盡力融入這個樂團。同時,也想偷渡自己擅長也喜歡的東西進去,妄自認為能夠給這個樂團帶來一些有趣的刺激。就這樣ㄧ起表演、練團、jam、寫歌、錄音,到發專輯。
<直白一點>對我來說就是一張這樣的作品,裡頭有我生澀的龐克嘗試,有一些故作大器的彆扭,有把自己整個拋擲出去的瘋癲段落,也有一些混沌不明的東西。雖然不是很頂尖的產出,但我認為丟出去的是起碼是誠實有硬度的東西。也很慶幸四位叔伯撿了起來,跟阿拓一起,打磨出彼此都頗為滿意的形狀。
客觀來說我真的不是個厲害鼓手,每次碰到表演練團狀況不好或是聊到他們希望我進步的方向,我都會有點賭氣地問阿顯當初為什麼要找我,不乾脆找個強一點的鼓手就好?他的答案都跟第一次邀請我入團時的理由一樣,他說:『 我是學運那次在立法院看你打 massman ,覺得這個鼓手好像很享受音樂,想說和你玩團應該會蠻有趣。』我至今仍然感謝非人物種給我這個機會,在海祭得獎後,本該突飛猛進的大好時光,慢慢陪公子練團。於是兩年過去,我們漸漸抓到彼此的呼吸,音場橋到一個舒服的位置,我開始不再懼怕擺渡人,錄音當下一些混沌不明的東西也一點一點明朗了起來。現在的狀態,我多少覺得自己比較像個非人物種了。希望能在 9/30 那天,把這樣的狀態盡力呈現給各位。

成團於2012年春天,秋天旋即解散。 那年,莫名其妙萬念俱灰的主唱說: 「大家不要玩團了,回家好好做人。」 從此成為一個流傳於台北樂團圈少數人口中的美談。 2013年夏天,做了半年的人,我們又不沮喪地跑出來了,帶著跟溫泉、 女友、青蛙與台語發音的蛇相關的歌曲跑出來了。 我們的現場很好看。哇靠,很好看。 「這個團,到底是什麼也許大家都還不是很明白,但最明白的是這些都將成為留在你耳朵裡巨大的轟鳴。」 來自 八十八顆芭樂籽的強尼 這樣描述我們,但是到底甚麼是巨大的轟鳴?應該也不是太吵的那種,不會讓你留下甚麼生理後遺症。有人擔心我(們)都怪有點噁噁的, 但是你可能懂我(們)在噁甚麼,所以你必必必定會喜歡我們。 60's psych-jams, funked-up grooves and some garage-punk thrown in for the hell of it! Kaohsiung's The Gigantic Roar has selected a moniker that is very apt in describing their sound. No, it's not a bunch of screaming, guttural vocals and distorted guitars, but rather a seamless melding of 60's psychedelia, 70's era funk and 90's revivalist garage/punk/blues which results in a huge, cohesive 'roar'. Citing influences such as The Doors and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, this young group has made quite a splash over the course of their brief existence. Playing their first gig when they were still high school lads, they immediately proved themselves to be musically mature beyond their years. This maturity has already allowed them to be invited to every major music festival in Taiwan including the Formoz, Megaport and Rainbow Bay Festivals. Vocalist/rhythm guitarist Leo has tremendous poise, charisma, magnetism and confidence onstage. Try to imagine Robert Plant, Jim Morrison and James Brown all morphed into one person, and you will get an idea of what he is all about. The music itself is riff-based, often utilizing a basic blues progression augmented with lead guitarist Tim's atonal, jazz-flavored chord structures. The rhythm section is comprised of Sam, a classically-trained pianist-turned drummer who absolutely destroys the kit, and bassist Birdy, who drives the songs with very melodic, complex bass lines. The Gigantic Roar is a rarity amongst Taiwanese indie bands for a number of reasons: their musical knowledge and tastes are far removed from what the average musician here appreciates, they refuse to follow any established trends in local music (post-rock, punk, indie-pop), and their lyrics are intelligent, humorous, ironic and twisted all at the same time. Their two-song EP "Suddenly Decided To Go To A Hot Spring" only hints at what this band is capable of in a live setting. I urge you to check them out, at least for wont of something different from the norm. Don Quan, The Mercury Bar 試聽連結: www.indievox.com/giganticroar
