Record Store Day (Austin 2015)
Dudes, I was SO THRILLED when a record shop opened up in Shanghai (What up, Uptown Records! Hope you’re still around). And I was also really psyched when they started recognizing Record Store Day, [...]
New music from Spill Your Guts
If hardcore rock’s your thing (it’s always somebody’s thing), here’s a new offering from Shanghai band Spill Your Guts. I always like straight edged hardcore bands like Spill [...]
Happy New Year! Also, absolutely nothing is happening now.
It’s Spring Festival time in China which also happens to be my favorite time. People who live in Shanghai think that’s insane for the following reasons: 1. The trains/planes/buses are [...]
The Lumineers are on their way to Shanghai
Technically, I’m in Shanghai right now, but not in in Shanghai. I’m on holiday! In Shanghai. Temporarily. Just paying my rent and doing some laundry and hopefully will be out of Shanghai [...]
Cool shows I’m not gonna see
Sometimes I just have to get the hell out of Shanghai for a while. Because…Shanghai. Come on, man. Shanghai! And then even though it’s awesome when I’m not in Shanghai sometimes I [...]
Guard Your Loins – Japandroids coming to town
I’m psyched about this weekend’s Japandroids show at Yuyingtang. I spent, like, an hour (or a good five minutes) trying to think up clever android-esque puns for the title of this [...]
Coming to a Shanghai near you
It’s hot as balls in Shanghai right now, unbearably so, and there may or may not be stuff going on in the city; I wouldn’t know. Not a whole lot past a “featured” DJ [...]
Every band in Shanghai, ever
Hey, have you never seen a Shanghai band? First of all, shame. Second of all, you can easily make up for it this weekend by seeing every band in Shanghai. Yes. Every band in Shanghai. First up is the [...]
Shanghai’s best bands — see ’em while you can
I don’t usually write about upcoming events, because I am a lazy person and don’t like to “plan” stuff or “think” about things. So it’s not that I [...]
Yesterday, I bought some records and the whole world celebrated!
Yesterday was all miserable and cold and shit but also Record Store Day. So, you know, records. I like records and I have a lot of records, despite the fact that I am neither a hipster nor an old [...]
JUE Music + Art 2013
Spring festival is FINALLY over and if I never hear another firecracker for the rest of my life I reckon that’ll be about right. Or at least until next year. JUE Music + Art is happening again [...]
The Backstreet Boys
Why yes, hell hath frozen over and I am writing about the Backstreet Boys. That’s because the Backstreet Boys are totally playing in Shanghai on December 28th and I’m totally going to see [...]
DJ Example is “sick”
DJ Example has canceled his gig this Friday at Club G+, because he’s “sick.” Not that I don’t believe he’s “sick.” I’m sure that he really is. [...]
Duck Fight Goose, Boys Climbing Ropes, This is Not the End
The title to the post actually sounds like a really awesome day out at the park somewhere, like, “I saw a duck fight a goose! Then some boys climbing ropes! And a kid got eaten by a dog! This [...]
Upcoming Events: DJ Example & DJ Wire
DJ Example‘s going to be in Shanghai on December 14th and I’m kinda psyched. I like the big party/dance/club music that he does. A big crowd-pleaser kind of music. Fantastic in a club. [...]
Upcoming Events: La Jiang You, Tiga at Arkham, YYs, Shelter’s anniversary!
Holy shit, there’s a lot going on on Saturday. There’s a new Shanghai La Jiang You party on over at Dada and I love these parties–the music is usually like deep techno (is that a [...]
Upcoming Events: BooshKaBaash 2012
One of the reasons Shanghai music is growing and (maybe someday?) thriving is because of some home-grown music festivals like BooshkaBaash. This is multi-event, multi-venue, multi-genre mini-fest [...]
Skrillex in Shanghai
It’s been confirmed finally that Skrillex will indeed be playing in Shanghai, at Club G+ on Nov 10th. And tickets are…680 rmb. Yeah. 680 rmb. That’s, uh…more than $100. To [...]
