2003 年,於仰光創辦「音樂之友學院」(Gitameit Music Institute)的美國鋼琴家凱特(Kit Young),在一次聊天時透露:「當然在軍政府時期經歷了很多困難。當時政局較為敏感,政府曾數度警告,認為我們的成立和音樂,可能被有心人士作為政治目的所利用。後來情況更加嚴重,他們堅持我們去註冊,堅持每當有外國人來時,一定要向他們通報。當時我們幾乎每週都要去通報。」
當初 2016 年黃英樺自行回到仰光,便是到一位鋼琴學生所任教的教會學校「緬甸神學院」(Myanmar Institute of Theology)裡擔任音樂系客座講師。學生名叫 Ningru Sut Seng Du,來自緬北克欽邦的帕敢鎮;此區仍在打仗且嚴禁外國人進入。 Seng Du 亦是緬甸神學院畢業生,因師資極度缺乏,大學一畢業,即在母校兼職講師輔導學弟妹。
樂團全名是「Happy Three Friends」,這個奇怪的團名是最初還是三人組時隨便取的,曾經一度猶豫改名,但……也想不到其他名字就作罷,沿用到現在。
「在唸樂團名的時候,自己也有點害羞,好像有點呆吼……」當我們和 Gong 聊到團名時,他這麼說。
安靜內斂的Gong是主要靈魂人物,印度長大的他,童年在滑板、藍調音樂中度過。心思早早跟隨Jimi Hendrix、Albert King 、Stevie Ray Vaughan 、Bradley Nowell 等吉他英雄,練就一身武功,無論浪子味激噴的< Ain’t Coming Home >、閃爍都會味的< City Lights >、到寫給女友的小情歌< Be Your Man >、< All Your Love >,首首精巧細膩,絕妙精巧的 Groove 與銷魂放蕩吉他,每聽一遍都令人久久無法忘懷。
▃▃ 炸彈在日常軌道上引爆 Bomb At Track ▃▃
2016年炎熱的芭達雅,在塞車八卦陣中百般聊賴,於友人車子電台裡傳出 Bomb At Track 的歌曲〈POWERFUL〉,將車裡昏昏欲睡的 4 人瞬間打通了任督二脈!是誰!?在這年頭那麼有種,敢玩 Nu-metal!還承襲 Rage Against The Machine 的批判血脈?一查,還只是幾個剛畢業的大學生,但不滿泰國警察執法過當與剝削老百姓、有錢人洗錢脫罪、網路霸凌、甚至喚醒社會關注泰國女性屢遭強暴處境…等議題,於是用憤怒與字字珠璣的歌詞中傳達出來,釋放了泰國年輕世代在甜軟歡快外衣下對於社會黑暗的不滿。
