The Chairman Band

繼上張專輯《眾神護台灣》榮獲多項金曲獎入圍肯定後，董事長樂團2013的最新專輯即將發行，第9張專輯名為《One Life/一條命》，之前離團的鼓手金剛、吉他手小豪，這次也回歸參與。記者會上好兄弟五月天的怪獸特地提著「一缸啤酒」祝賀，更催促董事長樂團乾「缸」，沒想到董事長樂團根本沒在怕，還豪邁地說：「我們今日事、今日畢，沒在寄酒的啦」。

對於之前離團的成員，主唱兼吉他手阿吉開玩笑地說：「五月天不缺人，他們沒別的選擇，只好回來。」歸團的金剛說這次回來只有簡單三個原因：兄弟、革命情感、一條命，讓6人都相當感動能夠再次合體，更表示會利用這段潛伏期將長期關注的社會議題用歌聲來表態。

為了這張專輯，董事長樂團還特地遠赴休士頓進行為期三個星期的專輯後製，過程中美國資深音樂製作人Andy Bradley對整張專輯讚不絕口，甚至說：專輯中的《美麗啊》如果有英文版本，絕對會是電台播放率最高的歌曲，不但如此，專輯中破天荒有了第一次男女對唱的歌曲，記者會上邀請閻韋伶合唱《幸福的滋味〉。由此種種都可看見董事長樂團對這張專輯的重視，以及令人期待的新轉變。

((Following last album, "The Gods Bless Taiwan," won several Golden Melody Awards, Chairman band's latest album to be released 2013, the 9th album "One Life / a life", .Press conference good friend Mayday /Monster specially mention the "one-cylinder beer" congratulations.

For members who left the group before, lead singer and guitarist A-Jee joked: "Mayday is enough for a band, they have no other choice but to come back." King owned corporation said that this return only three simple reasons: brothers, revolutionary spirit , a life, so that six people can fit quite moving again, but said they would take advantage of the long incubation period of this social issues of concern with songs to stand.

For this album, The Chairman also specifically went to Houston for a period of three weeks after the album made, the process of the United States, a senior music producer Andy Bradley was full of praise for the album, even he said: album "Beautiful ah "If there is the English version, will definitely be the highest rate of the radio broadcast songs, not only that, the album the first time with the first duet of the song, press conference invite Yan Weiling chorus of" happiness taste". )) - China Times

董事長說得算：每個「董欸」都是傳奇、都是故事。
「玩搖滾樂就是在記錄當下，我們做想做的音樂，做對得起自己的音樂，不吹捧主流市場。」吉董劈頭這麼說，也說明了董事長樂團如何在獨立音樂圈的辨識度居高不下的關鍵，「對得起自己」的努力，是團員依舊每個禮拜至少練團兩次，把對音樂的執著跟生命力，記錄在作品中。「搖滾樂記錄當下發生的事情，我們發行的作品當中的的確確也留下足跡」，鈞董輕輕地嘆了口氣：「文化，離我們這麼近，卻這麼陌生」。

越在地越國際
這次的新光三越主辦的「搖滾名人展」，董事長也特別將第八張專輯《眾神護台灣》中，符合神將主題的服飾、嗩吶、月琴等做展出，而且各個出自老師傅的手工訂製。其中最特別的，是一整隻繡金的吉他，用鉑金雕飾成龍的圖騰，前前後後花了好幾萬，至今都捨不得彈。

當然也有歷年來的國內外獎盃，包含榮獲第十七屆金典獎『最佳樂團獎』的第五張《找一個新世界》，以及當時在台灣金曲獎入圍差點全部摃龜，反而是受到大陸的「華語金曲獎」看重的《眾神護台灣》。

曾經，連金曲獎主委都肯定董事長樂團，認為以中國為例，很多少數民族的地方音樂總是被忽略，但董事長的《眾神護台灣》就帶給他們是一種啟示，雖然聽不懂閩南語，卻開啟了把文化傳統去結合流行音樂的一種想法，間接開啟了整個中國的地方音樂。

玩搖滾的使命感
這份突破，鈞董特別對這次新光三越主辦「第3屆不插電音樂大賽」的參賽選手喊話：「玩音樂千萬別忘了，音樂的『本質』還是最重要的。」以近兩張專輯取自太極圖的意念為例，一正一反、一靜一動，達到一個完美的平衡。一條命 一個世界，講的是社會、是兄弟、更是愛情，一個人的生命，其實就是一個世界，屬於你自己的世界。世界有多大，走得多遠，遇到多少人，都會化為創作的元素，白董說：「很多人告訴我們，一個世界這張專輯，很適合旅行，就像開在一條長長的公路上，沿途景色奇麗，伴隨著沉靜的心。」

嗜酒如命的董事長，無時無刻隨時隨地開喝，〈山地醉拳〉的MV中他們更是手捧12罐台啤的金魚缸杯，在一首歌的時間內飲盡，也曾為八八水災舉辦「喝酒賑災」活動。鈞董自豪地說：「台灣樂團以酒量排名，如果董事長說第二，沒人敢說第一啦。」下次遇到董事長樂團，記得熱情地邀他們舉杯，敬台灣搖滾！
