To say that Mao Livehouse has been flying below the radar since it reopened a month or so ago would be an understatement: They’ve been keeping a low profile and not really advertising any of their gigs much as of late! So much that events that I would usually recommend have been neglected. Whatever their [...]

It was just about 9 months ago when i first came across Girls Are Waiting to Meet You at the French Cultural Center in Beijing (read it here) . A lot has happened since then: The band survived the GAWTMY curse long enough to release an album and play a few gigs then lead [...]
This past sunday marked the debut of GAWTMY V. 2.0 with a new lineup to make up for the departure of some members. It also marked my first time visiting Jianghu Jiu Ba, a favorite amongst musicians in Beijing for their cozy and intimate feel.

Since the last GAWTMY show at Yugong Yishan, there has been talk of the band breaking up with the departure of lead man Natan Doron and multi-talented Luke Tweedy despite the shocking announcement made at the time which clearly stated that the band would go on with a new voice: Aaron Bronson Rosa.
BeijingDaze caught up [...]
loads of things happening in Beijing lately, even during the holidays:
- Made it to Folk Me fest at Mao Livehouse (map) yesterday. Line up included an “unknown” trio, The Redbucks, Hanggai and Buyi. I wish they stuck to the band rotation they list outside because it’s sometimes difficult to know who is who [...]

Well, here comes: Andy Deemer, director of Poultrygeist ( a zombie chicken flick) just finished directing the video for “Zombie Girl” , a track by Beijing’s own Girls Are Waiting to Meet You (see story on City Weekend’s [...]

This past Sunday was “La fete de la musique” (world music day) hosted by the French Cultural Center in Beijing.

Now, the band has [...]
