Nice site you've got here ... I'm the lead singer/songwriter for a successful alternative heavy rock band here in Melbourne, Australia. We've been on national television and radio shows, and have two videos screening. It seems I'm going to be coming to Shanghai for a while, perhaps to live, in the near future. Maybe the rest of the band will come too, don't know yet. What I want to know is how likely is it I can keep making a living as a rock singer in Shanghai? I keep hearing that the scene isn't big enough, "it's no Beijing", but what are your thoughts? I'm a professional rock singer and I don't want to give it up. Any thoughts would be appreciated. We're making a new video this month, stay posted ... F

Maybe they just want to bring their kids.

Try getting Sui/ Marrow. Imagine Shanghai's answer to The Poster Children, Sonic Youth or Uzeda. Their singer is a woman from Szechuan who is very cool. I have the singer's telephone number if you are interested.

age limit? in Shanghai? this is not to say that we condone underage drinking, but have you EVER been ID'd going into a bar in China? Then again, if you are young enough to be asking whether there is an age limit, perhaps you are too young for an all-you-can-drink event. That being said, I definitely feel too old for such an event.
