It has been quite difficult to experience real concerts in Hangzhou in the last several years. FreeSouls Record and the Azure Rooftop guys decided to change this: they are organizing an event in the name of proper live-music and they will bring you Hangzhou’s very own and very best Chinese and foreigner bands. 5 bands will play their souls out with styles ranging from Blues and Funk, to Ska, Punk and all sorts of Rock. Get ready for a night of musical explosion!
Ghost Flag (19.30)
‘What the hell is Ghost Flag?’ you may wonder. Well, we bet you know them: the public knows them as “the Eudora guys”, but in fact, the musicians of Ghost Flag are simply the best, multitalented, foreign musicians here in Hangzhou.
Bricks (板砖乐队) (20.30)
Bricks is undoubtedly one of the strongest, most well-known Ska bands in Hangzhou. Since it was founded in 2001, Bricks has been able to penetrate into the true power that made this great era: the pain and joy of the laid-off people at the grass-roots level, with the special keenness and sincerity of a truly people-owned band.
Five Flavours Band (五味子) (21.30)
Five Flavours Band was formed in 2017 and they bring traditional but ever-green values to the music scene in Hangzhou. Focusing on Blues, the band combines traditional Rock with aesthetic retro Garage Rock, providing a rare taste. They are a sound of blues, mixed with sweat, alcohol and tragic, bizarre fate.
Psych Lips (普赛克嘴唇) / 22.30
Veteran Hangzhou-based rockers, Carlos and Edgar (both from Mexico) formed Psych Lips in 2014 to showcase their extraordinary talent and passion to the people of Hangzhou. They have been playing their mixed sound of Rock, Funk and Grunge all over China (Hangzhou, Shanghai, Ningbo, Beijing, Wenzhou…), performing for big and small crowds in all kind of venues.
Magic People Band (23.30)
Formed just last year in 2018, Magic People Band had a huge kick off: they won the 2nd Battle of the Bands in December and proved that Russian Rock has a well-deserved place in Hangzhou.
After Party: The Pit
The Pit is Hangzhou’s most radical alternative music party. Started by a foreigner DJ-duo to break the city out from the mainstream RnB and EDM era, it has turned into a monthly event attracting all the people with Rock in their hearts. Get ready to lose your mind and sing your heart out to your favourite rock/punk/metal/indie bangers!
