link to their perf.
090612 Music Bank 메이트 (Mate) - 그리워

Thanks so much for the link!
I'm so proud of them that they were able to perform on such a prominent, idol-laden stage. I wish, though, that they would promote more songs� as much as I love "그리워" (such loveliness), it seems like with one-shot performances like Music Bank, it'd be easy to get locked into one style or song (� la Super Junior's "Sorry Sorry" or SNSD's "Gee"). I wish they'd perform "하늘을 날아" more� that YHY Sketchbook performance was awesome (not to mention it's by far my favorite song by them).

Anyway, Mate hwaiting! I wish them only success (and hope fervently that they stay true to their style).

I really love this band. They are so talented, their vocals are amazing <33 and the songs are so good

[pro000]

What speaks against them being indie is that they perform on music (weekend)shows ^^ But it sure is something different, fresh and cool! I hope so much they get success. I have the feeling that the not idols image will be hard on them. Even Yoon's Band don't sell that much, it's crazy!

[hseliz]

^Well there were some indie bands which performed on weekend/weekly music shows before. For example Dear Cloud performed Lip in M Super Concert and Music Core before, Hot Potato performed 비 눈물 in KBS Music Bank before and if i remember correctly Yozoh performed 아침 먹고 땡 in some weekend music programme as well. Imo it ain't necessary going against the indie stream by performing in weekend music shows, just because weekend music shows are filled with idols as guest performers. I think of it as a way that the bands and the indie stream itself is getting more and more well known, which is why they are being invited to perform there. Well these are just my opinions though.. I'm really glad they, Mate and the rest of the artists, got invited to perform in the program. :D

And i agree that 'the not idols image will be hard on them. Even Yoon's Band don't sell that much, it's crazy! '. Artists these days are getting less and less album sales, more so on indie artists. From what i know, sales for indie artists are more or less poorer compared to the mainstream artists' album sales as there are not as much listeners for the indie genre compared to the mainstream genre listeners. Also, internet dampens the album sales as there are quite a few download sites, both legally and illegally. :\ so.. yeah. try to support artists as much as possible. :)

idk if this post is relevant or not so to not making this post a spam, here's a bigger version of the poster for their second concert.

saranghae24: ahh. i don't think bora works on kbs able.

i just tried n can only listen to it. nothing comes up on the screen.
n I know that u have to register to use the other way so I'm kind of stuck. hahaha.
well, i just have to make do by listening to their voices. although it would have been wicked if i could watch it live as well. n im cut off from mate's site as well.
I hate NOT living in korea. hihihihi.
but thanks anyway for the information. hopefully someone could record it or something.

i love all songs in their album but if i say my favourite song then it should be the 5th track 하늘을 날아 cause when i first listened it today it gave me the same feeling i get while listening Iris from goo goo dolls i dont know why but i felt like that and i really like Iris so when i listened 하늘을 날아 i totally love it and it became my fav from their album but i like other songs too

Thank you for the links! Haha, I didn't expect that they'd cover a Super Junior song. I'm not familiar with the song, but I liked their version. ^_^

The photos look really good... love the bright sunlight in b&w. Do you know if it was for some special promotions?
