November has been a good month for live music and this Saturday the Subs are back in town to finish off the month in style with a show at the Zhi Jiang Dream Factory. Deemed the best live band in China by many magazine scribes, their moshes are a good way to escape the cold winter chill that will no doubt engulf the open roofed Hongkou Stadium during the Kylie Minogue concert. Joining the Subs are one of the most talked about new Beijing bands, the Molds, and depending on who you talk with sound similar to the Cramps or Jesus and Mary Chain...either way Shanghaiist is getting excited. If you can't wait till Saturday for some live action, head to Yuyintang on Friday where the Molds will be playing with Rogue Transmission and Loudspeaker.

I wouldn't call the Molds a new band -- they've been playing in Beijing for at least six months. I saw them at D-22 a couple months ago opening for Ourselves Beside Me and they sucked.
Subs are acemans
Brad, if you paid money to see Ourselves Beside Me your musical tastes are highly questionable. I'll definitely be checking out the Molds on Friday or Saturday...
HIPSTER FIGHT!!!
Ouch... Yeah, Ourselves Beside Me also sucked, but I didn't know until after I'd already paid to get in. Fortunately, the Scoff also played, and I really liked their new psychedelic Doors kind of sound...much better than the worn out garage rock thing they were doing last year.
I take back what I said ... the Molds rock.
