* About Sighborg…
http://www.myspace.com/sighborg
Currently based out of Seoul, South Korea. Sighborg (often spelled with added letters- e.g. sssighborgg siiighborg etc) is the project of Sean Maylone and other collaborators from bands such as Crime in Choir, What’s Up?, Minnows, Every-body , Bruce Light Tone, Stereoprimer. All songs mix electronics with live instruments (live drums, guitar, keyboards), with 8-bit chiptune and math rock influences. Imagine the delicate melodies of early Aphex Twin mixed with the broken-groove post rock of Battles and Ratatat. Just in case that’s not enough of a head trip, they dress like Star Wars’ Sand People consumed by pond scum. Totally weird and totally awesome!
* About Slick 50…
http://www.myspace.com/05kcils
Slick 50, coming at you fresh off the success of his Ear Pump night in Sydney, embarks on his first ever China tour this October, 2009. Slick has been trotting the globe for the last 10 years, playing alongside luminaries the Freestylers, Leftfield, Pressure Drop, Krafty Kuts, Mr. C and the late, great Vexta. This DJ has morphed into a live act – expect nothing but the heaviest sub, the bootiest rhythms and the shakiest snares. Off-beat danger jazz mixed with smooth smack grooves and freestyle soundscapes. Slick 50 is coming, so lock up your
predispositions.
* About “The Phoenix Prestige” …
http://www.myspace.com/thephoenixprestige
An Irish band currently based in Hangzhou, the Phoenix Prestige craft gorgeous and epic songs, a rare blend of punk energy and prog-rock atmospherics, reminding us of of a slightly louder Sigur Ros. This is their first performance in Shanghai.
Plus support by The Antidote DJs.
This “Antidote @ Logo” event on Oct. 17 Saturday, will work in cooperation with the after-party for the JZ Jazz / Electro-Grass Music Festival, which will be just a 3 minute walk up the street at the new Dada bar. Tickets are 50 RMB to get into both venues.
Supported by Baijiu Robot and more more more
