The enthusiastic response from fans around the globe and the diverse audience reactions to the performances left a lasting impression on the band.
Elephant Gym has curated a selection of live recordings culled from select performances across four continents during this tour. Through these recordings, the band hopes to share with listeners the unique atmosphere of each respective city's live performance. These continent-specific live recordings will be released as a series of EPs throughout 2025, culminating in a complete live album.
The third release in this series, "Live in THE WORLD - North America" captures the electrifying energy of two shows on the American East and West Coasts. Featuring the fan-favorite tracks "<Frog>" and "<Witches>", this EP is a testament to the band's power. The iconic live version of "<Witches>" also features a special guest appearance by flutist Cheng Yu-Tai, a nominee for Best Musician at the 13th Golden Indie Music Awards. This marked the very first time Elephant Gym brought a wind instrument arrangement to their US tour, a moment that delighted and surprised every person in the audience.
Having a strong presence in the US music market, Elephant Gym has consistently broken their own ticket sales records, conquering larger stages after repeatedly selling out shows. In these two songs, you can hear the vibrant energy of their performances and the pent-up emotion and passion of the audience, both finally able to reconnect after the long wait of the pandemic.
Formed in 2012, Elephant Gym is a three-piece band from Kaohsiung, Taiwan, known for melodic and emotional bass-driven tracks filled with gentle, beautiful and rhythmic guitar and drum ensemble. In early times their music has been based on instrumental, sometimes associated with Math Rock, but the band often features vocals recently expressing their sophisticated song-writing skills and performing techniques with the growing influences of Jazz, Soul, Hip Hop, Alternative and Indie Rock, Film Music etc. As the band matures, their music surpasses the musical genre or category. Elephant Gym is also fond of other art forms ane collaborated with Japanese R&B band, WONK, Taiwan aboriginal singers, film directors, modern dance group, and theater actors trying to create an art world of Elephant Gym. While they are one of the important and representing band in Taiwan, they have also attracted attention around the world having been invited to Summer Sonic (Japan), Super Strawberry Festival (China), Music Matters (Singapore), Mega Port Festival (Taiwan) and many other significant Festivals in Asia. In 2018, Elephant Gym worked with Topshelf Records in the US, WORDS Recordings in Japan and Space Circle in China to release their second album "Underwater" worldwide and started their first world tour (Canada, Korea, Philippines, Thailand, Japan, China, Malaysia, Singapore, USA, Taiwan, UK, Europe). Shows in Toronto, Tokyo, Malaysia, Singapore, and all 6 cities in the US were sold out, and they performed over 100 shows all around the world by the end of 2019.
