“What We Learned From…” will be a new feature promoting bands who have come to Shanghai in association with the Expo. Now that all of our great venues are intact and countries are bringing their musical talent here to share, we thought it appropriate to document that process, week by week, country by country. This week we were invaded by Finland.
Attractive RoOtine, a multilingual “electrosteady” duo, used to be based in Shanghai, but now they have defected to Beijing, which is where Hajar tracked them down for an interview.
Last April 22nd ExitA played at Beijing’s YugongYishan and Betti Na was there shooting her first session for Layabozi. You can listen and download their music and find more about ExitA on their Douban Page.
