damn damn damn… another year goes down, another calendar thrown out, a few more gray hairs and it’s the end of 2011 folks! Let’s see it go down in flames. Last year, the lineups for NYE shows were mighty impressive and it was pretty darn hard to pick one. This time around, it’s a bit [...]

It’s been a beautiful beginning for october in Beijing with blue skies, mild temperatures and freaking empty roads… oh yeah! For those of us fortunate enough to be in Beijing and enjoying the quiet, it’s pretty cool. That said though, nightlife and music events are plentiful for the next few days… heck, there are so [...]

Much like Beijing gig guide, I received this little message from Carsick Cars last night, not too long after they finished opening for The Raveonettes at Yugong Yishan: 我们做出了一个重要的决定：由于音乐兴趣的差异和成员各自的发展计划，贝斯手李维思和鼓手李青选择退出乐队；张守望将和新的成员一起，继续Carsick Cars的创作。11月16日的演出也会是carsick cars原始成员的最后一次演出。 从2005年最初的排练与演出，五年多来，我们三人一同完成了两张专辑，经历了上百场演出，以及国内和欧美的巡演，这是我们人生最重要的经历和美好的回忆。 在未来，李青与李维思会将音乐重心更多的放在Snapline与Soviet Pop上；而在Carsick Cars之外，守望同时也在进行着White+等音乐实验。而在将来我们三个也很有可能再合作一个更自由的音乐项目。 In a nutshell, the band as we know it is done! Li Qing and Li Weisi will focus on snapline [...]

If you thought that the festival goers were the only ones pissed off at modern sky’s strawberry, think again! Shou Wang, of Carsick Cars, came out on the band’s douban telling their own side of the story:http://www.douban.com/note/69778673/ Roughly translated, the staff behind the festival refused to serve him water mentioning that it was only for [...]

I came across this little gem a while back and lost it but just like a boomerang or karma, it came back to me! It’s a little 9 mn clip with Atom ( Hedgehog) and Li Qing ( Carsick cars), 2 of Beijing’s better drummers who happen to be females. It makes for good viewing [...]

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
The Food-related posts are stopping on 'daze! They have a new home over at The Noodle Diaries where you can find all the tales of my stomach's adventures through the universe of Chinese Food
