It’s a sad day in ‘daze headquarters…

The week [...]

The World Cup still holds it’s grip over Beijing nightlife this weekend with vuvuzela being the instrument de jour. It’s relatively quiet on the music front, but Saturday has some gigs not to be missed.

Saturday was a pretty good day for music in Beijing with both The Redbucks and Miserable Faith having album releases on the same evening. I ended up at Yugong Yishan for my prescribed dose of Americana Made From China and loved most of it with The Redbucks on top of their game (and despite a [...]

It ain’t no secret folks, I love me an honest to goodness good time getting down and dirty with some roots music and bourbon.. I do have a hillbilly bone in there, maybe more than one.. and The Redbucks appeal to it.

Sometimes, it’s just hard to keep track of what’s going on in Beijing’s music scene, especially over the past few weeks where all the bands are coming out of their collective hibernations and comas.
Last friday at 2Kolegas marked the last show of You Mei You as they’re gearing up for a rebranding of sorts [...]

Review by Narcissus
I’m always rambling on about The Redbucks amongst others as being some of the better acts in the city… Yes, I’m a fanboy and proud of it. That said, it’s always good to get a different perspective on things and that is where Narcissus, a Chinese friend with an addiction [...]
