Festival News: Sally Can’t Dance 2012

The city might not have a reg­u­lar exper­i­men­tal music night any­more, but the folks at pangbianr.com are hard at work set­ting up a lit­tle fes­ti­val at the begin­ning of March in an as-yet-unnamed lit­tle art space at Di’anmen. The fourth of its kind, the Sally Can’t Dance fes­ti­val will show­case some of the front-runners in Bei­jing and Chi­nese exper­i­men­tal musi­cians, includ­ing famil­iar names like Xiao He, Zhang Shouwang, Soviet Pop and Li Tieqiao. In the past, Sally Can’t Dance was orga­nized by the Sub Jam crew, but Josh Feola (pangbianr.com) and Zhu Wenbo (D-22’s Zoomin’ Night orga­nizer) have joined force this year, so it should be one hell of a show. Check out all the details here at pangbianr.com for now, and it will be on the gig guide when a sched­ule is released.

Festival News: Funhill Music Festival 2011

I went to Music Fun­hill last year, but to be hon­est the only rea­son I heard about it was that Super VC and Life Jour­ney were play­ing. This year, there are def­i­nitely some great acts but it didn’t pop up on my radar. So just in case you don’t have plans this week­end, and are will­ing to put up the 150RMB/day, I thought I would report on it. I’m not putting the fes­ti­val up on the gig guide (I’m nearly done updat­ing for Sep­tem­ber, though!), but below the jump is the sched­ule. Buy tick­ets online at damai.cn.
