Fire Ex. (
Chinese : 滅火器 ;
Pe̍h-ōe-jī : Bia̍t-hóe-khì ) is a
punk rock band from
Kaohsiung , Taiwan, founded in 2000, which sings in both
Taiwanese Hokkien and
Mandarin Chinese . The group consists of Sam (vocals), Orio (guitar), Pipi (bass), and KG (drums). The band is known for their social activism supporting
Taiwanese independence
[1] and
same-sex marriage .

During the
Sunflower Student Movement in 2014, student activists occupying the
Legislative Yuan frequently played their song "Goodnight, Taiwan" and asked them to write a new song for the movement. This led to the writing of "Island's Sunrise" (島嶼天光;
Pe̍h-ōe-jī : Tó-sū Thiⁿ-kng ), which became the unofficial anthem of the movement.

[4] The band was scheduled to play at
SXSW in
Austin, Texas in 2020 before the festival was cancelled due to the
COVID-19 pandemic .
