.gif will perform at the prestigious Golden Melody Awards Heat festival in Taiwan

One of Singapore's most prized electronic acts .gif will fly the flag at one of the most monumental festivals in Asia later this month, via SGMUSO, a local non-profit that supports the growth of Singapore's music industry.

The duo of Weish and Din will make the trek to the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Xinyi Plaza in Xinyi District, Taipei, to perform at the Golden Melody Awards Heat (GMA Heat) festival, which is a platform to spotlight path-blasting emergent talent, that will happen on Friday, 28 June. Backing this initiative is the Golden Melody Awards, which is widely regarded as the Grammy Awards of the Mandarin-speaking world.

.gif has had quite a creatively expansive spell: The duo recently collaborated with English sound artist and environmental designer Mileece in London, performed at the Fungjai Borderless Festival in Bangkok, and soundtracked local theatre company Checkpoint Theatre’s SIFA 2019 production, Displaced Persons’ Welcome Dinner, as well as reinterpreted the legacy of Tampines through sound as part of Arts in Your Neighbourhood. The band’s next show will be a performance together with LEW and The Freshman at Yamaha Live Sessions.
