A Beijing-based music and gig review blog

Where: Jiangjin­jiu
When: Sat 23 Jan, 9.30PM
How Much: 50RMB; 40RMB stu­dents
Who: Nancheng Brother (More Info)
Why: I know, I know. You’re all look­ing at this week’s lineup think­ing, why isn’t she going to Yugong Yis­han on Sat­ur­day? Steely Heart’s play­ing! She likes Steely Heart, and goes to see them all the time! And okay, that’s true, and I think if you’re up for some awe­some rock and roll, you should head over to Yugong Yis­han. This week, though, I want to finally see Nancheng Brother, and since Jiangjin­jiu is one of my favorite lit­tle folk venues (and hap­pens to be close), this is a match made in heaven. So rug up, warm up with a few drinks from Drum & Bell next door, and catch what should be some bril­liant — and funny — fusion folk with Nancheng Brother.

Runner-up gigs are, obvi­ously, Rock King Live gig at Yugong Yis­han (Sat 9PM, 80RMB) and D-22’s Fri­day night offer­ing of Skarv­ing, Rub­ber Phono­graph Nee­dle, and more (Fri 10PM, 40RMB).
