Yes! - One thing to do in Beijing is off my list - and it left me wanting more. At first I was skeptical - really? Chinese Indie rock? I mean - I heard of Chinese pop - or as I would call - the Chinese version of JT - and I want to kill myself after hearing it for an hour... how would I feel about indie rock?
On saturday, I went to a live indie rock concert in the middle of Beijing beside a drive in theater - and I could only describe this location by what I was feeling - in awe. It was everything a little indie bar needed to be - a place to drink outside, a small venue for the intimate feeling, and cheap beers that swam down your throat.
The band - 3 chinese people and a swedish drummer - were great! The set was short but it made me fall in love with indie again - even if it was mandarin and I only understood half of what the singer was saying. The bass and drums just carried me back to the starlight room back in Edmonton - I love concerts.
We met the band after - but only to loose them after the taxi ride. Flashback to calgary when we met a grammy nominated band and I freaked the lead singer out with my stalkerish quality of asking the same questions over and over again - sorry, I tend to forget quite easily when I am drunk. Don't worry - I don't think it happened this time again - although that would explain how we lost the band...
Overall - f-ing A good time and gong-show!
