Comments below don’t necessarily represent the Shanghaiist’s point of view or opinion regarding the Canadian government (we don't want them to hold a grudge and kick us out of Canada too!)… we just received it recently from the Busdriver promoter and thought it was kind of funny… shows are still on in Beijing and Shanghai…..and we are as giddy as a school boy in the girls locker room to see Busdriver play live! more ›

Shanghaiist loves launch parties. Who wouldn't? Free beer, free gifts and great music (usually). Last Friday, ENO, in celebration of their new line of clothes hosted DJ V-Nutz, DJ Tsang along with local rappers Redstar and Kensho Kuma. We showed up for the free drinks and products, but stayed for the music. On Saturday, after sleeping off a massive hangover, we made it back to ENO to see Banana Monkey and the Deadly Vibes tear up the joint ... fueled by more of that free beer! A good performance (ENO still needs to invest in suitable amps and a vocal monitor), everyone was excited for the show at the Dream Factory where the Deadly Vibes and Banana Monkey were joined by local foreign favorites Boys Climbing Ropes. more ›

Shanghaiist is looking forward to another weekend of live music and even though there are no big name bands in town, we are happy to save all that money on entrance fees and buy what matters most: beer! more ›
