GigShanghai: Swedes, condoms and the Ministry of Culture

We need to stop mentioning “The Man”, as they stopped by last night to say “hello”. But, at least word is getting out.

Not going to lie to you -- our heads hurt, so we’ll truncate:

GigLive is a weekly live music concert showcasing indie and underground acts in Shanghai.

GigShanghai is a weekly live music podcast showcasing indie and underground acts in Shanghai.

Listening to live music not only makes you really great -- it also means that you’ll go to more shows. More shows = more artists. More artists = no more reasons to moan about no shows to catch here.

See how that works?

That being said, if you weren’t able to make it to last night's show -- you missed out. All-you-can-drink and three bands made for a really great evening. Crazy Mushroom Brigade and Midnight Bus warmed up the crowd. Flying Fruit, our headliner, once again reminded everyone why men in mascara can still rock harder than you ever will be able to.

We’re not going to write the little time breakdown thingy, as it:

a. Takes a long time
b. The sound of keys typing hurts our head

So we’ll give you some highlights:

a. MC Mojo, Sebastian from tootekool, CoCo and DJ Trix all join us in-booth
b. UK pop up-and-comer Marie Batchelder also pops in after her New Heights show
c. Aric tries to say “off the hook”
d. Someone else says “wicked”
e. A beach party unlike previous beach parties
f. Preview of next weekends 2-day rock festival

If that’s not enough, then we don’t want to be friends with you -- which is pretty bad, as we don’t have many.

We’ll see you at a show this weekend and then next Wednesday at BonBon for another GigLive.

We sure do love you ... and 88 kuai all you can drink.
