The photo is of SUBS, a phenomenal indie rock/punk band from Beijing – probably one of the best in China. I’ve seen them twice in Shanghai and they put on one of the most energetic and fun shows I’ve seen anywhere. But more than just their energy, I’m impressed by their talent and creativity, respects in which they tower above most of the mediocre punk bands on the indie scene in Shanghai. Proof of this is that they’ve toured abroad, I believe in the US.
That is indeed a photo of Kang Mao from SUBS. It was taken at a Hong Di night put on by Red T Music (my day job). They have never toured the States, although they did go around Scandinavia a while back.
Where can I get the full report from? Is it available? G
The full report is only available to music industry bods at this point. The full thing will eventually appear on this blog. Patience… Ed
