Be Persecuted is from Jiangxi and they didn’t move around a lot but they did SHRED. I’ve never heard a bigger sound at a show in Beijing.

Xiao He did his thing, which last night involved some tried and true passages from his looped acoustic/incomprehensible high-pitched rambling playbook. Maybe it is comprehensible to someone with better Chinese, you be the judge.

Hometown, Taiyuan. Pictures taken by All Time Love Mini Diana through December 2009 and early January 2010.

Saw the Spex again at Mao.

Things looked different when I walked in. Ajinai usually dresses all in traditional Mongolian garb, but tonight they were wearing street clothes, metal shirts, and cargo shorts. It was nice to see them with their hair down and tattoos out.

Demerit was one of the first to make my list of Beijing bands to see and it took me almost a year to cross them off. I’ve been to a few punk and hardcore shows but Demerit is the most often-mentioned punk band in Beijing, so I was glad to see them coming off of their 6 month hiatus last night.
