PLAN B IN TAIPEI
PLAN B, a music and video experiment site that explores artists' "B-sides," started as a joint program between BEAMS and Space Shower TV. This coming May, the project will land in Taiwan and hold a one-night-only live showcase.
The event, titled "PLAN B IN TAIPEI," will feature AAAMYYY, who went on a sold-out release tour for their 1st album "BODY" held in February-March of this year, and a multi-talented group that also plays bass, guitar, keyboard, and saxophone. Player TENDRE, DAN, who successfully completed the "DAN 2018 TOUR "Sonatine"" that last year included eight cities in Asia, released his 2nd album "Eutopia" and even appeared on NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen last year. STUTS, a truck maker who has performed successfully in March with ADOY in South Korea, and Tempalay, who has already been scheduled to perform at large festivals such as Fuji Rock this year, and 9m88, a singer who boasts a huge support in Taiwan. And now we have a luxurious lineup that will probably never be reproduced again. Japan's leading youth of the 10's will gather in Taiwan. Please look forward to it.

A music and video experimentation site to explore artists' [B-sides].
That is "PLAN B", a joint program between BEAMS and Space Shower TV.
What PLAN B is looking for is not the artist's usual appearance = side A, but a new side = side B.
This is a never-before-seen collaboration program by youth creators who color the current music scene.
The program proposal is blank. Except for a small amount of time and budget, the degree of freedom is unparalleled.
Do you see this as a constraint or a lawless zone? Everything is in the hands of the artist.
What will you see as you strive for expression that can only be achieved now?
