5 Indie Bands from China...yes, from China
From "Five Chinese Indie Bands" by Tim Yu (www.coolhunting.com):
"Holding to the spirit of truly independent music, many Chinese bands are producing truly original music and oftentimes you can hear traditional Chinese musical influences.
My Little Airport is an electro-noise-pop duet from Hong Kong. Their 2nd album "becoz i was nervous at that time" is a refreshing dream-pop album about all things pubescent: Youth, growth, friendship, emotions and memories. (Listen to their song "Nervous"here.)
Xiao He (aka He Guofeng), a folk-rock-blues solo musician, has an album release called A High-Flying Bird Never Falls onto a Trudging Cow's Back, a live recording.
Lonely China Day (from Beijing) just finished their debut tour in the US....In what can be described as glitch-alternative rock, they can be compared to the likes of Radiohead with their driving rock beats and spices of electronic/synth effects.
...From Shanghai is...Gemini Trip. They create an original blend of ephemeral electronic music and ballads. Offering an electronic texture compatible with vocals, this down-tempo music is a raw take on the overproduced numbers.
And finally The Subs' punk music with ferocious riffs, pounding rhythms and hell-bent screaming vocals it ranks among the best live acts...ever seen."
