Do Sonic Youth Have A Show In China？
 

IT IS SAID THAT SONIC YOUTH WILL HAVE A SHOW IN CHINA APRIL 2007，IS IT TURE？:eek:

Look at the Calender.

it may have been more like they were trying to plan a show in china, and either it fell through, or is still being worked out

Osaka is in Japan, Trasher. With the current political climate and hell-ass censorship in China I doubt there'll be a show there.

THIS GOSSIP IS FROM THIS WEBSITE.:confused:

Why China? When will SY come to Lisboa again asks James Blonde.

why NOT china? i'm sure they'd rather play somewhere they have not played before... except Flywheel. they love that place.

That's what I think too. Censorship is totally crazy there. It would be the first SY gig in China, no?
That'd be nice for people living there though.

Censorship is a big problem,but we have great shows of Dirtythree&Lacrimosa last year.I Wonder if the show of SY have possibility.:rolleyes:

James Blonde wonders how many copies have SY sold in China.

taking into account how many people are there in China, maybe more than you think, James Blonde.

Hah, now it comes to my mind, when I was in Beijing in 2002 and saw this street gig of some local badass punk band sponsored by a huge mobile operator company. It was crazy, these absolutely trashy looking punks playing with big neon logo shining over their heads.

China is weird. Beautiful though.

James Blonde thinks about official and pirate copies. How big is the difference.

sonicat? are you from china?>?? I have few chineese==( how the hell you spell it) friends, asked them to bring me sonic youth cd from china (you know with them chinese alphabet and stuff on the cover). They couldnt find any, which is unbeliebvable to me. Is that possible? Or they just didn;t know where to go and buy it? sorry for my spelling, I'm bit drunk @ mo. lucky you europeans, who were in china!!!

U said ur friends can't find SY cds in China,it is impossible.Maybe they didn't find the right place.The music shop in the city have many collections,including puck,indie rock,post rock,hip-pop,etc.

I am in Beijing now,it's not beautiful and not weird .It's a normal city as other big morden cities.:cool:

It's funny, I went to Beijing cause my brother lives there, and I would describe it just the way slavo did : weird and beautiful.
So where are good records shops in there?

So many,but I can't describe the location exactly.It's hard to remeber the name of the street in China.:o

strange. i wrote down sonic youth on piece of paper and nothing. by the way, are covers in english alphabet or in chineese alphabet?

Both.My friend have all the CDs of SY,but maybe covers in chinese alphabet are pirate copies.:(

It's higly probable! they sell so many copies of cds and dvds there...
