Bio
We are the Hsu-Nami. There are basic things you should know about us first and foremost. We're from New York city.There are 5 of us. Jack Hsu plays the Erhu, Brent Bergholm play guitar, Dana Goldberg plays keys, John Manna on the drums, and Derril Sellers plays the bass. We grew up together. 2011 is our 7th year as a band. On Dec 2011 we released our second album, entitled The Four Noble Truths, on Big Lucky Records. We have clawed and fought to get to where we are at, and we still have a very long way to go before we're even moderately satisfied. I"f Charlie Daniel was adopted by a Chinese Parent and Jammed with King Crimson, that is Hsu-Nami." Andrew Watson / Universal Records The Four Noble Truths The band released their 2nd album, "The Four Noble Truths" march 24th 2009, named after the 10:35 long song on the CD. The meaning of the song delves deeper into the theme behind "Entering the Mandala". It attempts to illustrate the The Four Noble Truths, especially the idea that the quest for enlightenment starts with pain, sickness, injury, tiredness, old age, death, sadness, fear, frustration, disappointment, and depression.[1] The songs on the 2nd album were also inpired by different occurrences in the band members' lives. In an interview with Chinese World Journal, Jack mentioned "The new album song title 'Passport to Taiwan' is a medley of 'dark sky', 'throw pen' and 'missing spring wind' (3 Taiwanese popular Traditional Tunes) rearranged from traditional to the raw hard rock/punk rock style." The song 'Luxy NYE' was inspired by Hsu's visit to Taipei, Taiwan celebrating New Year's feeling. The Hsu-nami's lineup underwent one change during the time between "Entering the Mandala" and "the Four Noble Truths". This explains why the track "Moonlight" features Adam Toth on piano while keys for the rest of the album are played by Dana Goldberg, a new arrival to The Hsu-nami in 2009. In December 2011 the album were released by Big Lucky 大吉祥 (Taiwan Label), for Taiwan release. Jack was also quoted "comparable to death metal band Chthonic (also from Taiwan), The Hsu-nami want to put out a message of peace and friendship, shying away from the Political and negative perspectives."
