Lockdown in Nanluoguxiang or the Days the music died?
By Ruby in Tunes under the moon, blabbersTwo gigs shut down at two different NanLuoGuXiang venues inside one week, is it simply the police flexing their authority for a little while or the start of something more serious?

Festivals Galore: Max Star Powers Ditan and Prayers for Tanglewood.
