Mong Tong is a Taiwanese psychedelic music band formed by brothers Hom Yu and Jiun Chi.&nbsp; The name "Mong Tong" is derived from the brothers' childhood nickname, which can mean&nbsp; something totally different in different languages from Burmese, Cantonese to Chinese. Mong Tong's music is heavily influenced by Southeast Asian culture, including its mythology&nbsp; and folklore, as well as 60s and 70s psychedelic music. Their sound is characterized by hypnotic&nbsp; rhythms, dreamy melodies, and otherworldly atmospheres.&nbsp; Mong Tong has been described as part of a new wave of Taiwanese music that draws on the&nbsp; country's rich cultural heritage while pushing boundaries and exploring new sonic territory. They&nbsp; have also been noted for their visually striking album artwork, music videos and special outfits.&nbsp; In March 2022, Mong Tong was invited to perform at the Taiwanese Showcase during the&nbsp; online edition of the SXSW festival in Austin, USA, receiving positive reviews. As the pandemic&nbsp; gradually eased in 2022 summer, they embarked on their first European tour, conquering over&nbsp; ten cities with Japan's psychedelic ban, Kikagaku Moyo. By the end of the year, they also&nbsp; performed in Japan, making a name for themselves in the international psychedelic scene.&nbsp;
