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 [...]

Hell ‘Bone is what i dubbed this unholly union that saw two of my favorite beijing fun bands come together for a fantastic night of rock n roll at Yugong Yishan: DH & The Hellcats along with Black Cat Bone I’ve reviewed both bands here so many times that it would seem extremely redundant to [...]
