Cold Fairyland at the ARK
Shanghaiist found deliverance Monday night at the Xintiandi ARK, where Cold Fairyland (冷酷仙境) performed a few sets of their ever entrancing music. We would have to agree with this article, which dubs these guys "musical chameleons". Shanghaiist previously could not have imagined electric cellos jamming with basses and a traditional Chinese instrument called the pipa (琵琶), but now that we've seen Cold Fairyland rock out, we're believers. Finally, a band that doesn't just perform a bunch of disappointing covers or engage in excessive headbanging while pretending they know something about music. If you want to know more about them, check out their official website, where you can see pictures, read bios, leave messages on their BBS and read their blog. You can also check out Shanghaiist's photos of last night's show, as well.
