Since its inception in 1999, Chinese rock band Ershou Meigui (Secondhand Rose) have been producing folk-rock music “with Chinese characteristics,” infusing traditional elements local to Northeastern China with driving percussion and wailing guitar, resulting in an unprecedented sound. Their live shows, where lead vocalist Liang Long is, more often than not, dressed as a woman with heavy makeup (borrowing from a common trope in traditional Chinese operas), are a spectacle to behold. See for yourself during their visit in Guangzhou this month.
