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.

In case you haven't refreshed our site in the last month (and then shame on you, really), soul crooner John Legend will be appearing at the Shanghai Yunfeng Theater tomorrow night at 8pm. He'll be joined on stage by Hong Kong celebrity and "singer-songwriter" Karen Mok. You can still buy tickets at Emma Ticketmaster's site.

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.

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.
