Nicknamed as “No Tickets for Cao Dong” because their shows sell out so fast, No Party For Cao Dong (NPCD) bounces between disco and grunge. This outstanding rock four-piece broke out in 2015 when they sold out their debut EP within a day of release. Rebellious electric guitars clothing luscious melodies, their music forms a mirror of the punk-grunge spirit they embody.
In 2016, they dropped their debut album—The Servile—a record of grief, love, justice and helplessness felt among their generation. 40,000+ physical albums were sold, despite only being available in indie stores and at live events, and it was streamed in the hundreds of millions. NPCD has sold out international tours all over Europe, North America and Asia.
Formed by Wood Lin (vocals/guitar), Chu Chu (vocals/guitar), Sam Yang (vocals/bass) and Fan Tsai (drums), NPCD won Best New Artist, Song of the Year (“Simon Says”) and Best Musical Group in the 2017 Golden Melody Awards (GMA). These GMA wins led to their first mention in Billboard as the first band in the history of the award to walk away with both Best New Artist and Best Musical Group in the same year.
