Feast Your MV: New videos From Lidong, Da Bang, Fever Machine and Casino Demon
i think they’re finally catching up here yonder about the power of promotion… Bands are putting out more Videos than they have in a long time and even the merch side of things is getting better. Here are a few to check out for upcoming releases:
First up, Shanghai’s The Fever Machine who will be up in Beijing November 24th playing at Temple to celebrate the release of their new EP, La Chupacabra:

Next is Da Bang.. Ruby is developing a liking for these cats who seem to be getting their act together after a weird period last year. The new tunes are poppy, electronic but seem more like “them” as opposed to last year’s stuff when it felt all fake.

Finally, good old new Casino Demon (2/3rd of The Dancers/Joyride) are ready with their EP slatted to come out this month. Sure enough, to celebrate, they got themselves a video for the first single “The Sadness Will Last Forever”.

A word of advice to the bands….
Put the videos on Youtube! Youku is too slow to be streamed overseas and Youtube is the place to be in the Western world 🙂
Max,
unfortunately, most bands don’t have access to youtube from the mainland. some of them are doing it now but it’s not that easy/simple.
