Weekday live music: 21st Century Noise, Karin Park, Surferosa, One-J

Bands left drifting helplessly after the cancellation of Midi have found a sort of oasis in Shanghai. The past week has seen a multitude of Midi bands play and this week things get even busier. Even as we write Karin Park should be wrapping up her first of two consecutive nights out at Live Bar. Should be a surreal experience watching a pop act prance around the stage of a proper dive bar. Tomorrow, the 21st Century Noise will be entertaining the crowds out at Yuyingtang with their Swedish rock. On Thursday Karin Park heads to Yuyintang where she will join Surferosa for a night of wicked 80s-esque rock pop while R&B outfit, One-J, will be at Live Bar.
