Well herrow there Shanghai…what a year this giant ox is shaping up to be! Scams, scandals, disasters, Obamas and THE NEW TRANSFORMERS MOVIE! Times are changing, ice caps are melting and the doom and gloom of the apocalypse is creeping nearer.
WELL BALLS TO THAT
We’re backkkkkk!!!! The return of your friendly neighbourhood rock shows are back! and in the swing of things and my, my Shanghai have we got some juicy stuff for you. Let’s start with our season opener.
Oliver (BJ)
So after many a trips to Beijing and many a gigs seen and heard, one band has stood out not only to us but to a guy named Howie B. You may know Howie B from his work with Bjork and Tricky. Well Howie is now working alongside Oliver for their upcoming album. Oliver can be summed up as a brit-pop/indie band influenced by bands like The Kinks and Led Zepplin. With a keen sense for big hooks and strong, driven vocal melodies, Oliver deliver their own unique sound in the mix of Chinese rock which is certain to be adored by the masses.
Oliver will be joined by our very own Banana Monkey who will be making their long awaited return to LOgO. Opening the night will be The Rovers, with their second appearance for S.T.D.. If you haven’t heard of them before…they are a Chinese Led Zepplin tribute band…and they rocked the hell out of everyone last time, succumbing to encores and turning the most doubtful skeptic into an elated pile of sweat.
Closing the night will be electropunk/dancerock/dirty disco grindilicious STDJs - R3 and Adept.
Walls be shaking, Bonez ‘a’ Breakin and plenty a Booty to be Shakin this night, so pop in and celebrate the return of quality live music in our neighbourhood.
