Bio

Fire Ex. (Chinese: 滅火器) is a punk rock band from Kaohsiung, Taiwan, founded in 2000, which sings in both Taiwanese Hokkien and Mandarin Chinese. The group consists of Sam (vocals), Orio (guitar), Pipi (bass), and Wu Ti (drums). The band is known for their social activism supporting Taiwanese independence and same-sex marriage. During the Sunflower Student Movement in 2014, student activists occupying the Legislative Yuan frequently played their song "Goodnight, Taiwan" and asked them to write a new song for the movement. This led to the writing of "Island's Sunrise" (島嶼天光), which became the unofficial anthem of the movement. The band will play at SXSW in 2020.
