Did you ever make it a point to visit the Mao Livehouse in Beijing? I played a show there last November (2014). My band was touring through courtesy of Hotpot Music. Really neat place, wish we would have known there were more venues in the area to check out! I kinda remember there being a real American style pizza place nearby as well.

Nah just the band I was with from the US! No sweat man. I can see if the event is on that weibo network and see who we played with.

The locals on the show were: Summer Sunshine, Collision Dreamer, 0190, and Chaos Kills the Pain, according to a show flyer I found here: http://www.douban.com/event/22813833/

Do you remember being there last year for a band called Carousel Kings? Would love to know if there is an episode of your show that features them!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Collision Dreamer was great. Summer Sunshine I think was more like a blink-182 rip kinda band. There were ~200 people and the show was probably the best on our tour in China. The vibe was awesome, lots of merch sales and everyone was pretty friendly/attempted to speak english to us if they knew much of it. I remember it was the first time I tried to order a Tsingtao and I pronounced it just like it's spelled. Didn't go over so well, haha. The only other show that was similar to that was in Guangzhou at the Fei Livehouse.
