Taipei's dawn on New Year's Day was enveloped by rock beats as
local band Mayday ushered in 2008 by putting on an overnight
show.
The five-piece group kept its annual New Year's tradition alive
by inundating fans with five and a half hours of live music,
beginning at 2 am on Tuesday.
Their energetic presence, embroidered by such guest singers as
Rene Liu and Lee-Hom Wang, kept the 1,300 or so fans in a delirious
state until the last minute of the show.

When the show came to an end in the morning, the five band
members led the audience in appreciating the New Year's first
light.
Mayday has taken part in New Year's countdown celebrations for
five years now. In 2007, they stayed up and signed autographs for
15,000 fans.
