Shanghai’s underground bands are rising to the surface. Some of them are to give a joint concert in Ark Live House in Xintiandi.
Godot, Clockwork Orange, Sui (Marrow), Junkyard, and "San Huang Ji" constitute the line up.
The concert will offer an overview of Shanghai's underground music scene. Various music genres: post rock, industrial noise, alternative rock and pop rock will all be exposed.
Some of the bands will go to Beijing to participate in the Midi Music Festival, making this performance a farewell to Shanghai.
These bands are made up of rock lovers, who often hire underground rooms as studios. After listening to Western or Japanese rock music for years, they decide to make their own original music. Many of them are students or new graduates.
