As you can tell by the title, the big news this week is international superstars Panic! At the Disco's first ever performance in Shanghai this Saturday. Panic! At the Disco is an American band from Las Vegas famous for their stylish outfits and odd use of exclamation points. Shows in the States have included circus performers and crazy goth outfits - it'll be interesting to see what they bring to Mao Livehouse this Saturday.

Midweek Music Preview: Panic! At the Disco raid Shanghai
Cinematheque: Dada dusts off a blaxploitation classic (and other film news)
Blaxploitation was a film genre which especially addressed an audience of urban black people and became popular in America during the 1970s. These films were the first to feature soundtracks of funk and soul music, which makes it a perfect fit for art/music bar/lounge Dada's Tuesday SubCinema. This time, they offer up a free screening of The Mack, the biggest grossing blaxploitation film of its time.
John Legend took it to the house
Concertgoers of all shapes and sizes descended upon Yun Feng theater last night to see Grammy award winning artist John Legend perform a tight, crisp set that displayed his famed musical chops as well as an unexpected showmanship that more than made up for Yun Feng's less than stellar setting.

John Legend playing Shanghai Yunfeng Theater on April 8
With all the buzz about Oasis not coming to Shanghai, we completely missed who actually is: soulful crooner John Legend. Emma Ticketmaster is bringing the Grammy Award winner (and star of many a Gap ad) to Shanghai Yunfeng Theater on April 8, assuming he didn't make any Tibetan independence related remarks too. Tickets are priced between 100 to 1000 RMB and can be bought on the Emma Ticketmaster site.
Live Music: LX at Logo
At the risk of damning all that is cool and underground with our pro-whiteboy Midas touch, we're going to tell you how much we enjoyed watching the soul, funk, R&B and sometimes classic rock band LX play at Logo on Wednesday. This band is headed by Lucius Clark (whom we are told is from New York), and the other players include the very talented Vladimir on guitar (sorry we don't know your last name), whom we've seen play gypsy jazz on Fridays past with Etienne at La Bella. There are also some other band members from Mauritius who also rock but sorry, we don't know their names.
