Let's check out a couple of familiar peeps in a different unit: this is Soni Cheng & Soft Liu from the HK band GDJYB 雞蛋蒸肉餅. In 2021, the duo started a new project called 絕命青年 Running Youth. No Love Troubles is a single from 2023.

Let's hear another recent single:

The credits for their tracks:

GDJYB 雞蛋蒸肉餅 ending a crazy year with a crazy song!   =D

They mix in a lot of styles, musically / vocally on this tune, and the MV looks really cool!  (Directed by J.him Lee, full a/v credits and lyrics back at YT)

HeiHei departed as GDJYB drummer in August, and she’s listed on fb as support drummer for Ideo War.  Karen Hui is the ‘support drummer’ on this catchy single from back in October:

Bonus clip: MILK MAGAZINE interviewed Soft, Soni, and Wing back in November, you can translate the text at their site, or watch the interview below.  They have plans to release a new album in 2021:

This is the live stream / Hei Hei’s last gig with GDJYB 雞蛋蒸肉餅, available for a VERY limited time. (24 hours from when it ended, so maybe just a few more hours)    =D

The video begins with a couple of lyric MVs, then the band enter the studio space and get ready to play.  There is a brief photo montage at around 52 minutes, then Hei Hei says an emotional goodbye for a few minutes, then the band launch into their new single, 405 Method Not Allowed. (that phrase is a browser http error response code.)

Excellent set from the ladies, plenty of melodic math rock and tricky pop tunes!  =D

Soni Cheng-gtr, Soft Liu-voc, Chloe Ng (aka HeiHei 嘿嘿)-drums, Wing Chan-Bass

I think I have a new favorite song from this band!   GDJYB 雞蛋蒸肉餅

They achieve perfection with this arrangement: all the instruments sound great, with special mention to Soni Cheng’s layered guitars.  And Soft Liu has never sounded better, doing beautiful justice to her powerful lyrics:

Take your breath slowly Close your eyes lightly To see the world up high Just one more step to go Everything starts from A fire, then hunt, desire To chase, to care, with conscious To hate, to love or die Someone becomes friendly When someone live so greedy Hunger of power, money, violence They don't care who's innocent Bodies lying down oh Black smoke choking my throat What's wrong with all those souls Can't you hear them screaming below Why don't you kill us all Why don't you kill us all Why don't you kill us all Why we live to see people fall Why don't you kill us all Why don't you kill us all Why don't you kill us all Why we live to see people fall Ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh ahhh ----------------------- You own the world now So what do you want You own the world now So what do you still want
