It’s Wednesday folks so time to start planning the weekend shenanigans. If you’re anything like me, this one will be tough! plenty of intriguing choices on offer all around Beijing and they’re all quite diverse. I’m actually torn on this because some of them might be gems in the waiting.. here’s looking at you Yugong [...]

Quickslants: Women, Insurance Payback, Re-TROS, Jue Festival, the Bookworm and more

By in Quickslants, Tunes under the moon

oh yeah babay.. it’s heating up in Beijing and I’m not talking about the weather that’s taken a dip again. Beijing is finally fully awake and we’re getting to that point where it’s tough picking which show(s) to go to. This Saturday is a prime example with good stuff all over the goddamn city from [...]

Quickslants: Jue Starts, 80s revival, Ajinai, that Prodigy dude, Buyi and more

By in Quickslants, Tunes under the moon

We’re almost back on regular rotation folks meaning that the good shows are back on the menu but so are the bad ones! It’s unfortunately the side effect of having so many bands around Beijing. Mao is having a strong showing this week with some decent lineups from Thursday to Sunday. I’m particularly excited about [...]

Live Music Quickslants: Barbacans, Buyi, Dongzi and Backtrack NY Hardcore and more

By in Quickslants, Tunes under the moon

I love choice… looking at the various things happening around Beijing, it’s good to see pretty much all the venues (except one) back full speed with shows on pretty much every night! While most of Beijing was being romantic or singing along to Avril Lavigne yesterday, some of us were inside Yugong Yishan having a [...]

By in Quickslants, Tunes under the moon

well well well… Meaty Quickslants ahead sailors! It’s been quite sometimes since we’ve seen a busy little week worth of music in this town! Almost too long! This week, pretty much all the usual suspect are back in action with only 2 Kolegas hibernating. I’m going through such a Ningxia withdrawal that I’ve decided to [...]

Quickslants: Metalheads are back, Marley Tributes, Book Swap and Temple Rolls on

By in Quickslants, Tunes under the moon

w00t w00t.. looks like there is some action again in town with a few more locales opening up after this highly unusual Spring Festival hibernation. Seriously, in 3 years of covering the scene, it’s never died as much as this year… Sure, we had Temple to keep things going but man, it was tough! Club [...]
