Hello!

I've been in Shanghai a year now and am thoroughly bored with the music that is being played EVERYWHERE that sounds exactly the same.

So I'm starting to play at some small bars (for free).

The music revolves round rock/indie/brit pop and involves:

Arctic Monkeys
Bloc Party
Calvin Harris
Wolfmother
XX
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Zutons

(not always in alphabetical order...)

So if anybody else wants to show Shanghai that not everybody loves Lady Gaga and Justing Beibeiberywhatsitface.

We meet up weekly on Wednesdays around 9 at Crocus (528 Kanding Lu, Xikang Lu) where it also happens to be ladies night.

We're always looking for people to join us and hangout/have a flail (some people call this dancing) so come along new and old.

if interested find me on facebook.com/djjamjar or just come along

THIS IS NOT AN ADVERT - like they all say that... but really, I don't get paid for playing. I just like music and people who like music!

Songs to shout about.

What a wonderful evening this appears to be. I will certainly be attending on a weekly basis for the duration of my stay in Shanghai.

woo music that isn't gaga. may be a bit too indie for my taste but sounds good anyway! apparently i'm moving into with some new flatmates this weekend so I will see if they're up for it ( only been here for a day, but in an empty flat *sigh*). starting a real job on monday so shouldn't really do a wednesday night bender, but if you know of any fun things this weekend, give me a shout! haven't figured out how to bypass the chinese facebook boycott yet, but my email is maisie.e.williams @gmail.com.

i'm from durham by the way. so i like drinking and meeting newbies

Hey, just a heads up, I'm in Australia until March! My replacement is apparently not very good so beware!

Will resume properly the first Wednesday of March, see you there!

(Ps I have a few good friends who studied at Durham, they loved it! I can also venture away from Indie if requested :-P)
