Power Station (traditional Chinese: 動力火車; simplified Chinese: 动力火车; pinyin: Dònglì Huǒchē) is a Taiwanese rock duo, composed of Yu Chiu-hsin (尤秋興) and Yen Chih-lin (顏志琳), both of the Paiwan tribe of Taiwan's Pingtung County. Their music is characterized by their energetic rock ballads, as well as their electrifying rock anthems. Their looks and long hair stand out from the mainstream Taiwan pop scene because of their resemblance to western heavy metal musicians. In 2001, Power Station released their first album on the Grand Music label (later known as HIM International Music), Walking Along Zhongxiao East Road Nine Times. The title track of that album won the Silver Award for Best Mandarin Song at the 24th RTHK Top Ten Golden Song Awards.[1]

Biography


Yu Chiu-hsin (尤秋興) and Yen Chih-lin (顏志琳) graduated from Taiwan Adventist College in Nantou County, and formed a band called "Virgin Choir" (處男合唱團) with some friends before changing to "Prominent Position" (突出部位) and disbanding. At the ages of 25, they formed Power Station through singing western rock songs. After the release of their first album, their fame spread within the Chinese music scene in the 1990s. In 1998, they sang the theme song "When" (當) from the drama My Fair Princess, and in 1999 they won the Best Theme Song award at the Star Awards for their song "I can endure the hardship" from the drama Stepping Out.

Power Station o Poder Estación (chino tradicional: 动力火车; chino: 动力火车, pinyin: Huǒchē Dongle) es una banda de rock de Taiwán, formada por dos hermanos Chiu Yu-hsin y Lin Chih-Yen. Su música se caracteriza por interpretar rock de baladas, así como sus himnos de rock electrizante.
