This is Shanghai’s premier underground rock bar. We saw these guys tonight, and if you’re wondering. Yes the lead guitarist does indeed look like a pirate wearing a leather vest. Overall they were really good. This was their first show and the reaction from most of the crowd was “has potential.” I particularly liked their song “The arouser,” which the pirate guy said may leave you flacid. It had very cool elements of punk, distinct sound at parts of tool influence, and the chorus went as follows.
to a 6 count:
We live in fucked up places
We live in fucked up times
I couldnt understand the next part so i improvised
Little girls i’ll fuck your faces
Little girls i’ll blow your minds.
all in all, Good times, plus they had Chimay red label for 40rmb, which if you live in shanghai is a fucking steal not to be passed up.
