That's Shanghai takes a look at the best events of the week.
Nov 13: Rhye

From their ambiguous start, made even more ambiguous by the androgynous and illusive vocals of lead singer Mike Milosh, Rhye captivated listeners with their subdued R&B-influenced pop.

Nov 15: The Vaccines

Infectious London-based indie rock outfit the Vaccines formed in the late 2000s, and have been compared with Surfer Blood, The Strokes and elements of The Drums. Feelin down? Indulgent? Wanna dance it off? Well The Vaccines have got you covered.

Putney native Kieran Hebden’s post-rock electronic project Four Tet is hitting Shanghai this month. He’s worked with the likes of Thom Yorke from Radiohead and remixed everyone from CVRCHES to Bloc Party and Bonobo. With influences ranging from jazz to folk music and hip-hop, he’s made a name for himself on both the dance circuit and the production scene.

Time to grab the Pepto-Bismol, because we're saying goodbye to self control and hello to Baconfest! Tickets include a drink and a taste of all the oh-so-delicious experiments conducted by Shanghai's pork perfecting culinary experts.
Nov 17, 11am-5pm, RMB100 pre sale, RMB120 door. Cages Bar and Sports, see event listing, buy tickets.

A mishmash of '60s pop and late '80s British indie music, Virgin Suicide's name riffs off the 1999 Sofia Coppola film 'The Virgin Suicides'. Yeah, the one with Kristen Dunst, Josh Hartnett and Hayden Christensen. The Smiths meets The Beatles meets teenage feelings ten-fold in this European five-piece hitting the OG Yuyintang Saturday.
Nov 17, 9pm, RMB100 pre sale, RMB120 door. Yuyintang Livehouse, see event listing, buy tickets.
Nov 17: HITO

Berlin-based Japanese electronic artist HITO is no stranger to the club scene. A regular in Ibiza, her heavy bass, techno infused tracks are mature in sound and German by nature. Expect lots of kids in all black for a serious (literally and figuratively) dance set.
Nov 17, 10pm, RMB99 pre sale, RMB150 door. Arkham, see event listing, buy tickets.

This year, SHM will strive to create a new model for marathons with two marathon events (the half-marathon in spring and full marathon in autumn) with one on each side of the Pujiang River. This year, they will stay committed to providing even more refined event services for runners with different needs and creating a better overall event experience. The event will start from the Bund Bull and end at the Shanghai Stadium through the newly-opened Huangpu Riverside Road. Before the race, the second half of the route is still undergoing further optimization as they gear up for the big race.
