Hang on the Box

Hang on the Box (挂在盒子上) is one of China's first and foremost punk chick bands.

Hang On The Box is an all female rock band formed in the summer of 1998 in Beijing China. At that time Vocalist Gia W (Wang Yue), guitarist Yang Fan, bass player Yilina and drummer Shenggy (Shen Jing) were only 15 years old.

One of the best and brightest bands to emerge from China's growing rock scene, Hang On The Box is wildly regarded as one of the most popular and well respect bands in Hong Kong/Taiwan/China Mainland. For the last two consecutive years (04 and 05), Hang On The Box is nominated as "The Best Rock Band" at the Chinese equivalent of the Grammy music award - The Annual Pepsi Music Award.

Unlike most of the Chinese rock bands, Hang On The Box not only toured in China/Hong Kong, but also in the US and Japan. They played at Lady Fest 03 in the US; and both SXSW and CMJ. They have also toured with Shonen Knife in both Japan and US; shared stages with acts like French Kicks, International Noise Conspiracy.among the others

After their second US tour in October 03, due to demand from the press, Hang On The Box was asked to tour the UK in the following month on a NME branded 4 group tour. Unfortunately they weren't able to get their Visas on time.

Hang On The Box's tight and extremely engaging stage performances has not only gained great reviews in the US/UK, but also help them build a solid fan base throughout China, Japan, US/UK.

Hang On The Box has done interviews and received great reviews from Wire, Q, IQ, Paper, Austin Chronicle, The Face (Japanese music mag), Womanrock.com and Cluas.com and many more.

Hang On The Box is also the first Chinese rock band to be featured on the cover of NEWSWEEK magazine.

Their fans include Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), Marilyn Mason, Yeah Yeah Yeahs as well as famous Chinese stars Jackie Chan, Zi Yi Zhang and Gong Li , just to name a few. One of their tracks Di Di Di is currently on Jackie Chan's celebrity playlist on ITUNE.com. Marilyn Mason had been to more than one of their shows.

Hang On The Box has released two critically claimed albums Yellow Banana and Di Di Di by Japanese labels Benten and Bad News, and Chinese/Hong Kong labels Jingwen and Scream. A live album For Every Punk Bitch & Arsehole was released by Cherry Red UK in Oct 03. Their single I'm Sick appeared on a Japanese compilation CD In The Memory of Bruce Lee, and was released worldwide by JVC Japan in July 05.

Musically, Hang On The Box has evolved from a punk band to a band that plays diverse range of music. One could easily find traces of Psychedelic, New Wave, Electronica, even a dash of Hip-Hop in their recent work. The members have cultivated musical relationships with each other in various outfits. Lead singer Gia Wang is equipped with a unique anxious ESG like, not sweet, voice. Beneath the soars and stabs of her vocal exclamaton, Lina on bass, and Shenggy, on drums and percussion, construct entrancing scapes with a wide palette of sounds.
