Some people might don't know who is Sodagreen. The name "Sodagreen" sounds like a drink or biscuits. In fact, Sodagreen( 蘇打綠) is a Taiwanese independent folk-rock-pop band that formed in year 2001. The band was originally named Soda (蘇打). The name "Soda" gives the feel of refreshing and moving bubbles. However, the members think that the band needed a name with three Chinese characters, therefore, the word green (綠) which green colour is one of the member, Greeny's favorite colour was adding into the name, thus the band's name formed.

Sodagreen is a six-member band that became hugely popular in Taiwan and
much of the rest of Asia after they entered the Hohaiyan Gongliau Rock
Festival in 2004 and walked away with the Grand Jury Award. The members are:
 |
| 吴青峰(Greeny) - lead singer, song and lyric composer |
 |
| 谢馨仪 (Claire) - bass |
 |
| 阿福(A-Fu) - Leader of the band, acoustic guitar |
 |
| 阿龚 (Zephyr) - keyboard, viola |
 |
| 小威(Wei) - drums, percussion |
 |
| 刘家凯(Kay) - electric guitar |
All the members are wonderfully talented but it's really Greeny, the singer and songwriter, who has given the band it's
distinctive sound. The songs from Sodagreen are mostly related to issue of the society and they wish their songs can influence the public so that the public will give more concerns to the unfortunate.

One of the reason that I love Sodagreen is their good relationship
between members. The band formed for about 12 years and they seldom
argue in those years. They treat each others like their own family
members.
Many friends asked me why I love this band. The reason is simple. This is because they talent, simple, funny, and love music. They keep to improve themselves in scope of music and even their own education. Their songs make a lot of encouragement to me. That's why I love Sodagreen.
At last, I want to thanks Sodagreen for bring a lot of fun and good songs to us. I hope to hear your songs in 10 more years and even 20 years later. Love ya, Sodagreen.
