Check out an interview with the French electro band rinôçérose. They are not coming to Shanghai in the foreseeable future, but they have a cool tour set-up so we can always hope! Chinese translation by Dario Lupoli.
Let’s ring in the Chinese New Year with a review of an album from a Chinese band, shall we?
On the subject of podcasts, we thought we would celebrate our first release by hipping you to some of the music podcasts that we like best.
We have had these podcasts in the can for awhile and now they are ready to go. Check in every Sunday for a look into the Shanghai music scene with Theo Croker. First up is blues guitarist Greg Smith.
Community activism and music collide and unite!

Last Friday Disrupt and Soom T had The Shelter full of electronic roots vibes. These are the photos of the vibe.
