Joyside - Booze At Neptune's Dawn


In March of 2001, the band was formed in a dark basement north of Beijing. After 3 years, the four lazy guys got their debut album released, it was called "Drunk is Beautiful". Then came Joyside's first nationwide tour of China. The singer Bian Yuan called it a "rock'n'roll nightmare" in the film Wasted Orient. The tour was amazing, full of passion and chaos, fuddle and shout. The entire tour was filmed by an American director named Kevin Fritz. He was the first and only filmmaker to tour with Joyside around China and thus the only one to get a true assessment of what life was like as a member of Joyside. He documented the whole tour with the band and later made it became a wonderful and cuttin-edge documentary about Joyside entitled, "Wasted Orient". After years of struggle and vomiting, Joyside started to climb out of their beer barrels. They dig pure rock'n'roll, give great big kisses to devil, and run wild on the burning side. So far Joyside has down 5 albums and this film since 2001 which are: "Everything sucks", "Drunk is beautiful", "Bitches of Rock'N'Roll-DEMO", "Bitches of Rock'N'Roll" and the film "Wasted Orient". They are bitches of rock'n'roll, who are addicted to Dead Boys, New York Dolls, Sex Pistols and the Stooges. They are surviving young dudes from the old century. They are your modern human beings' nightmare makers. JOYSIDE.

Big Black- Songs About Fucking


Child molestation, urban decay, hopeless apathy, trucking, and racial commentary were all fair game to Big Black, and the screeching, clanking thud of their proto-industrial sound was only a shade less disturbing than their subject matter. Dave Riley's bass is a metallic, twisted train wreck, and Steve Albini's every word so bile-drenched it barely makes it past his lips. This, combined with the searing buzzsaw guitars and the violent percussive force of a jackhammer, will strip the enamel straight off your goddamn teeth. Their pervasive stench clings to the entirety of the burgeoning industrial movement, and Songs About Fucking is the still the biggest, baddest sound on the block; underestimate it at your own peril. --Eric Carr

Wang-Wen Megapost [Post-Rock, China]



Hailing from the busy port city of Dalian in Northeast China, Wangwen/Wang-Wen/ 惘闻 cite their influences among groups such as Mogwai, Red Red Meat, Mono, Explosions in the Sky, Polvo, Tortoise and GYBE. Formed in 1999 by two awkward guitarists crazy about The Smashing Pumpkins, by the time of the release of their second album “Re:Re:Re” in 2004 they had become a five-piece and their sound had evolved into instrumental Chinese-tinged post-rock, acid-rock. Their third album “7 Objects in an Infitinte Space” not only cemented their reputation as one of the leading bands in China’s post-rock scene, but drew them attention internationally, leading to their first European Tour in June 2008 to promote the release of their fourth full album, titled simply “IV”.
