In case you missed out on the third edition of Shanghai bus-and-beer-fest Get in the Van back in April, Spin correspondent mrjaymark has now put up a fun video documenting the event. Playing that night were The Dropkicks, The Rogue Transmission, Boys Climbing Ropes, 24 Hours and The Gar. See full report here.
Music lovers can get their weekend started early tonight with three great events going on around the city.
Update: Oops! Sorry, just realised that Torturing Nurse show is on Saturday not Sunday!
Things are showing no sign of slowing down live music-wise at the moment. The next few weeks are going to see the long awaited Hard Queen EP release party, Battles with PK14 and their new proteges and a welcome return for Re-TROS. Then there's the 5th anniversary of Shanghai's premier noise outfit Torturing Nurse to look forward to, which is bound to be crazy. Meanwhile a new album will see the always brilliant Hedgehog heading to Shanghai on April 11th. Not only that, next weekend will see Fucked Up in town. They're out in Nanjing this weekend at the Castle Bar if you fancy hopping on the high speed train to go see them but if you decide to wait until they hit Shanghai, there's plenty to keep you occupied here while you wait.
