Cool Video: Chirgilchin & Throat Singing
I came across this little video/documentary today about the band Chirgilchin from Tuva.
Now, sure, they’re not Chinese but we’re getting our fair share of bands in Beijing right now doing some throat singing and this video actually has some decent information about it. Plus the band don’t sound half bad.

cool stuff really.
What once started as my personal ramblings has morphed into the number one collective resource about underground live music in Beijing and China. All bands, all music, all Rock n Roll, all the time with a little side of eclectic topics.. best of all, it's still as BIASED as ever
