Live Music: James Blunt, You Say Party! and Queen Sea Big Shark

This weekend there is no shortage of gigs to check out and we suggest you take a little nap this afternoon so you will be ready to tackle as many as possible. Shanghaiist recommends checking out Queen Sea Big Shark tonight at the Living Design Center, last time we saw this band (way back when 4Live was still around) they had the crowd rocking hard to their surf garage sound. At Live Bar, experimental Korean/Japanese duo, 10, will leave the avant-garde fans in the crowd salivating for more. If you miss them at Live Bar then you have a 2nd chance on Sunday when they play at Yuyintang.

Saturday day is a big day, besides being excited for the You Say Party! We Say Die! concert, James Blunt is also in town giving the dating crowd a dilemma. Go see the acoustic crooner make your lovers heart weep with sweet love songs, or take them to get hot and sweaty with the infectious dance punkers. If that isn't enough to keep you happy, there is also a 4th instalment of the 0093 band showcase at Yuyintang and UK nu-metal band Mishkin is back in town at Live Bar. Whichever show you end up at there will be two great after parties to check out. STD (free bus after from the YSP! WSD! concert) is helping Logo celebrate the reopening with punk bands Angry Jerks and Overdose while Antidote has DJs Mr. Tsang and Ladybox on tap at the Shelter.
