MIXER (English: Mixer) is a Taiwanese band consisting of five members: vocalist Wu Shenghao, acoustic guitarist Lin Zhean (formerly known as Lin Zian), electric guitarist Xiao B Yu Boxi, bassist Zhang Yinuo, and drummer Lu Yifan. MIXER's exhilarating music style, paired with poetic and psychedelic lyrics, combined with the vocalist's unique voice and powerful stage presence, has quickly gained attention. The band first received a nomination for Best Band at the 25th Golden Melody Awards for their album "Circus Movement," and ultimately won the award.
Several members of MIXER started playing music together in school. They formed different bands and participated in school music competitions across Taiwan, winning numerous awards. Zhean and Shenghao were then scouted by a record company and released their first EP as a duo, "Zian Shenghao" in 2011. To enrich their performance styles, they later recruited Yinuo and Xiao B to join their live performances. Finally, they added drummer Yifan in October 2012 and officially formed the band, adopting the name "MIXER." In June 2013, they released their debut album "Circus Movement." In 2016, their album "Nameless Humans" was nominated for Best Band at the 27th Golden Melody Awards. In October of the same year, they released their third album "Wild." In 2016, they were named the fourth-best independent band in Taiwan by the website "Network Thermometer." On December 29, 2018, they held their first large-scale ticketed concert at the National Taiwan University Gymnasium. On October 8, 2020, they released their fourth album "Animal of Love," and held a nationwide tour at the end of the year.
On October 17, 2023 (their debut anniversary), MIXER released their fifth digital album "It's All Romance's Fault" and followed with a physical release in November. They also embarked on a multi-city tour. The album was nominated for Best Band at the 35th Golden Melody Awards.
