No Party for Cao Dong


No Party for Cao Dong is a post-rock band from Taiwan consisting of Wood Lin, Chu Chu, Sam Yang, and Fan Tsai.

History

Band members Wood Lin, Chu Chu, Sam Yang, and Fan Fan had been friends throughout high school and university, then they founded the band on the eponymous Caodong Street in Shilin District, Taipei.
In 2015, the band self-released an EP which sold out in a single day. They released their first studio album, The Servile, a year later in 2016. The band played at SXSW and NXNE in 2019. They wrote and recorded the title song for the video game Devotion by Red Candle Games in 2019.
The band had teased the release of new music with a livestream that would have began on March 6, 2020. This however was cancelled, and their newest album which was planned for release in early 2020 has since been put on an indefinite delay due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
No Party For Cao Dong hosted a livestream on their YouTube channel which took place once a day from May 20th to May 23rd and featured live performers acting out a story, the course of which was chosen in real-time by the viewers in the chat, determining how the narrative would play out. At the end of the final episode on May 23rd, a new song was debuted while the credits rolled.
