Who we are
關於拍謝少年
Sorry Youth as a power trio was formed by guitarist Weni, bassist Giang Giang, and drummer Chung-Han. Taiwanese lyrics are an essential base of their songwriting as well as a hallmark of Sorry Youth, and the song arrangements capture a strong sense of live performance. They are among the few indie bands in Taiwan to compose lyrics entirely in Taiwanese Hokkien.
Sorry Youth is now not only a significant indie band as a standard-bearer in the Taiwanese indie scene, has all their sold-out shows, but also frequently performs at music festivals at home and abroad, such as Summer Sonic (JP), Megaport Festival (TW), Shima fes SETOUCHI (JP), Mori Michi Ichiba (JP), and SXSW (US); as well as have been touring Japan, South Korea, Canada, Hong Kong, and many other countries. In 2020, they also curated the Wind and Current Music Festival independently, trying to further explore the possibility of a collision between music culture and art in Taiwan.

Fun Facts
Watch Out for Bubbles
泡泡
The vibe of their shows is always like being under the sea. The hidden character Milkfish Man will appear on the stage from time to time, waving bubble guns and bubble swords, and the audience will also bring bubble guns to interact with Milkfish Man.
Wind & Current Music Festival
音樂祭
Because of their love for rock music, markets, and beer, the festival they curate, which compiled everything they love into one music festival more than just rock music. They also put out various Taiwanese sub-cultures through the event such as literature, food, camping, cycling, zines, manga, brewery, natural wine, etc.
Be Aware of Milkfish
虱目魚出沒請注意
This may be the most-seen band towel at music festivals in Taiwan. You will see thousands of milkfish towels at the Megaport Festival every spring.
We Can Riff Anywhere
隨地搖滾
They love playing shows in daily-life scenes and try to see if they can perform in any setting, such as a manga store, breakfast and deli shop, bowling alley, brewery factory, sightseeing bus, yacht, and restaurants like mutton hot-pot, spicy hot-pot, fried chicken, etc. Of course, playing outside of the Presidential Office is always the best experience.

Tai-gi Rock ‘n’ Roll
