Wow! Great news! So the shows are bound to happen!
My brother told me he read an article about that in a chinese magazine.
That would make a lot of people very happy!!!

That's great!!

Hey Mr. Lee how about Southamerica?

Is Singapore part of China?

SONIC YOUTH IN CHINA
Sonic Youth have booked their first two shows ever in China. April 23 SY is in Beijing at The Star Live and April 24 in Shanghai at the Paramount. Both shows are still subject to PRC Ministry of Culture approval. Ticket information will be here as soon as we have it.

Really?
 

Wow, this is great news! I know some people that have been waiting for this for a long time...


The Paramount is a historic Art-Deco Era facility with an honest-to-goodness ballroom dance floor and two floors converted into a discotheque that, as far as I know, doesn't do rock acts. Are you sure this is the correct venue for Shanghai? The last show that promoters Split did in Shanghai was at 4Live...

In any case, /please/ consider doing an after-hours show at Yuyintang. They are the place to go to for local indie rock with a local crowd, if a little small. The Dirty Three did a small show there the night that they performed in Shanghai.

In any case, I tentatively added this to Upcoming.org.

It is not the correct venue! Split are doing the show at the Shanghai Concert Hall.

The Paramount was an early option discussed with the band. I think they maybe were a bit too excited to announce it on the website!

Gonna be a great show no matter where it is...

Thanks for confirming. This is exciting.

well,its cool.im in nantong,kinda near shanghai.
i don't think the shanghai concert hall is the appropriate place for a rock show,either.it seems to be fir a serious classic music performance.
yes,i heard the show about dirty three in 育音堂,its an additional show ,right?because the former show,which was held in 云峰剧院 had a little bit problem in the end.
well,i gave an email to steve last night,anyway,asking about the venues or something.his reply was kinda amazing:"aside all of this,aren't you happy that sy is coming to china?"

yes,we are just so happy.i will try my best to see the show though i will have classes that day...maybe drop out some classes then...

china is waiting for you!

Here I Comes, Welcom Sy To China!

Lisa :-)

Wow, we have a lot of Chinese on the board - Hi! I'm really pleased for you that you're all so excited about these concerts, I hope you have a great time.

its great news but i am wondering where they will play and how they will be received?

If it's designed for "serious classical music" then surely the acoustics for serious noise music will be brilliant?

hey you:D

they have two shows scheduled , hopefully the chinese allow it

no,they are two countrys and with 3000 miles between them. But however there're lot of Chinese in singapore, they got same ancestor.:)

china has the best pop punk bands in the world.

I'm now in Shanghai &i'm so excited about the coming show
I love SY~haha
