2020 was set to be a big year for Wedance. Their new album (Dance Pop) had just been released and the band was gearing up for a long-awaited tour of Australia, which was to include several notable support slots and a much-anticipated appearance at Bigsound festival. Then, Corona struck and put an end to those touring plans. Not to be deterred, the band and the promoters in Australia set in motion plans for a digital tour.

Always looking for the opportunity to be unique the band immediately set about finding the strangest location for a live performance they could, and so on a hot summer's day in 2020 Wedance found themselves shooting a live video in a sinkhole and a greenhouse on a farm in Yangsu-ri, on the outskirts of Seoul.

A natural sinkhole had formed in one of the farm buildings during the rainy season and Wedance deemed this uneven, muddy surface the perfect place to play their first three songs. White lights set into the side of the hole, a microphone hanging from the ceiling supports, and a guitar amp on an old broken wheelbarrow set the scene for what might be one of the most unique live videos you will see.

Halfway through the set, Wedance takes the long (10m) bike ride/walk across the street to their second stage, the Greenhouse. This kingdom of green stems, lush leaves, and spider webs stimulate the nose and eyes, while Wedance’s music keeps your ears from being distracted by the sound of chickens and roosters next door. Red/orange/yellow/blue/green lights were hung from the ceiling, to give this unlikely setting more of a concert vibe. During the set Wevo beats on a drum cymbal with a small branch and sprints around the greenhouse-like a woman possessed by her music. At the entrance of the greenhouse, excited villagers gathered to dance together and witness this amazing spectacle.

A year has passed, and it seems a shame to only showcase this unique video in Australia so we decide to release a live album. Is it ‘live’ if a year has passed? That is a debate for another time!

The band revisited the Yangsu-ri farm to take some pictures, but the hole had been filled in. Anyone else would have just used screenshots from the video, but Wedance decided to dig the hole back to the same dimensions. They gathered together a motley crew of friends, managers, and farmers who over the hours shoveled and hoed the ground until their backs hurt and it was as similar to the original hole as possible. A few snapshots later and the hole was filled back in again, bringing to a close a full year’s worth of preparations and paving the way for the release of their new live EP ‘Dancing On The Farm’
