Birthdays aplenty, mutliple conflict-of-interest picks, Lions of Puxi CD release, and Imperialism and all Reactionaries are just Paper Tigers. And more.
A packed packed PACKED weekend, especially Friday. Get busy and get to these shows!
Mache waxes poetic on the eventful past couple of weeks in the Shanghai music scene.
With this hair and gold chain, it’s quite obvious that you will be rocked in the face. There’s other stuff this weekend, I guess.
Outerspace Funk, KEIZOmachine!, a band battle, a new rock club, and the last C’s antidote? Check your weekend schedule here.
That’s what JZ is hoping for, and to that effect they’ve changed the name from Jazz Festival to Music Festival (though the Chinese name is, literally, “Jazz Shanghai Music Festival”). It’s definitely within the realm of possibility, as they apparently drew around 10,000 people to last year’s festival in Jingan park, and that sold out. This year’s version will be in the much larger Century Park, which is admittedly in Pudong, but some people live there right?
A weekend of folk, fun, the end of summer, Detroit techno, Beijing dance rock, and a Brazilian takeover of the JZ Big Band.
Due to business and technical difficulties we’re coming at you with an abbreviated version of the Editor’s picks this weekend, and it consists basically of what I’m doing, except for the Sound Blue gig I have to be at in a few minutes. By all means come to that too.
