History

Their first single "GOGOGO" was released in October 2008.

The mv of GO GO GO was filmed by director Xu Renfeng. To express the youthful and sunny rock style of the song, he especially picked an abandoned factory as the filming site of the MV. The abandoned iron stacks, the barren fields, and the train and tracks not only delineates the band’s untamable rock style, but its natural lights gave the band a special youthful and sunlit stage. Because GO GO GO tells the story of the band member’s friendships, the director shows scenes of the lead singer, Zhong Hang, meeting his friends. Then, the five members walking together to form a band. Finally, the band is shown performing on their stage. It’s to be noted that the director spent two days to make a wall of lights shaped like AOK. At night, when all the lights are off, the 888 light bulbs seem especially bright.^[1]
