Mayday (Taiwan)

About

Mayday (Traditional Chinese: 五月天) is a Taiwanese alternative rock band that was formed in the late 1990s with five members, Ashin (vocalist), Monster (Guai Wu/Guai Shou) and Stone (lead guitar), Masa (bass guitar) and Guan You (drums). After releasing its first full-length studio album in 1999, the group received critical acclaim and gained a following among Taiwan because of its ability in capturing the zeitgeist of Taiwanese youth in the mid to late 1990s. Mayday is often cited as one of the pioneers of rock music in Taiwan.
