It's been a good two years since Beijing-based punk rockers Carsick Cars released their first self-titled album on the Maybe Mars label. Since then, they've been written up in the foreign press, they were handpicked to open for open for Sonic Youth (though, sadly, the government stepped in there and pulled them out), and they've headlined the JUE Festival... and still, up until just now, there's been no music video!

Remember back in January when you had nothing to do and then, suddenly, out popped a ten-day festival filled with art and music and people to mosh away the winter with? Relive some of the highlights of the Jue Festival, brought to you by Split! Works (who are, incidentally, bringing us Young Knives at Zhijiang Dream Factory this weekend)!

                                

It was raunchy and raw, rockin' and raucous... and now it's over. The two night line up this weekend started out on Friday with Shanghai-based pop-rockers Pinkberry, DJ Sacco and an amazing set from Beijing's Demerit - easily one of the best bands on the alternative scene right now. And on Saturday, Maybe Mars outdid themselves, bringing us AV Okubo, Snapline, Ourself Beside Me and Carsick Cars. Special thanks to Split Works for bringing us two weeks of artistic mayhem. Please sir, may we have another?

French electro-rock group We are ENFANT TERRIBLE, who rocked LOgO last Friday, are doing a special encore show tonight at Yuyintang to end their China tour. Check them out for a repeat of Friday Fun... without the crowd. And don't forget to be there for the end of the JUE Festival this weekend, with two nights of killer acts at Dream Factory. Details:
