PK-14 makes Time Magazine's Top 5 Asian Band List

Time Magazine recently published a list (click here) of, what they consider, to be the top 5 Asian bands to watch in Asia for 2008. Representing China is PK-14, a band that Time is describing as postfolk. Shanghaiist isn't exactly sure what the hell postfolk is, or if it is an accurate description of the music...but we don't really care, no matter how you describe PK-14's music..it still rocks. The band is currently in Sweden recording their new album which is scheduled for release on Bing Ma Si later this spring.

Abe...

Bit of a misrepresentation here. The article says "5 Asian bands to look out for in 2008". Equating this to the UK, all the 5 bands to look out for in 2008 currently play to less than 200 people, but I wouldn't put the Ting Tings up there with Coldplay and Radiohead just yet...

Let me know...!


hahaha..yeah..should have put Top 5 to watch list...
