GigShanghai: Hawaiian death metal, cAntipop and Black heads back

If diversity is what you want, then it’s what you get: This week's show covers everything from record-breaking punks to we-still-can’t-believe-they’re-unsigned-seeing-how-they’re-hot-and-can-play Canto-rockers. It’s also a week of workshops, with The Lab putting on an Ableton demo and a singer/songwriter comes over from the States to teach people how to … erm, sing and songwrite. B6 drops by to bid a big name in town farewell. More you want? How about a Black Eyed Peas (playing tonight) remix featuring Huang Jianxiang? Wicked, we know. Damn near makes us want to cut off our own special parts. If that's not enough, we launch our Chinese version of the show -- along with trying our hand at video (see below).

Below is a very pathetic attempt at GigTV, but hopefully will make those that haven't seen Cold Fairyland or been to Yuyintang realize what they've been missing.
