Fri, Jul 13: Black Coffee x Nouvelle
Hong Kong natives from Sha Tin, Black Coffee’s style draws influence from a myriad of genres to create a Brit-pop sound reminiscent of icons like Blur and Oasis. Their recently released debut album Hazy Days evokes the range of emotions they input into their work, from carefree and content to dark and somber. Nouvelle began their musical journey in 2015, in the small Guangdong town where the three members originated. Rock ‘n’ roll has since been their window into the world around them, and they’ve used their noise rock tunes to venture far from the point of their humble beginnings.
Jul 13, 8.30pm; RMB70 presale, RMB100 door. B10 Live. See event listing. Tickets.
Fri, Jul 13: Bastille Day (French National Day)
Following their previous Paris In Terrace party, The Terrace is bringing France to their venue once again, this time in celebration of Bastille Day. During the event, Terrace will play host to a French DJ, who will accompany house band TAS for a live show that is sure to be a crowd pleaser. As an added bonus, all French wines will be 10 percent off!
Jul 13, 9.30pm; The Terrace Restaurant and Bar. See event listing.
Sat, Jul 14: What So Not
What So Not began in 2010 as an experimental collaboration between Australian record producers Emoh Instead and Harley Edward Streten (aka DJ Flume). The two have since parted ways, with each earning an international reputation for their musical versatility and out-of-this-world sound. If you’re a lover of the smooth and consistent groove of techno or deep house, this is not the show for you. What So Not will draw you in with an enchanting melody and soft vocals, only to make your body tremble from the inside out when a blast of glitchy bass envelops you with the next track.
Jul 14, 7pm; Price TBD. Club bbR. See event listing.
Sat, Jul 14: Bang Gang
Icelandic pop band Bang Gang, founded in 1996 by Renaissance man and multi-instrumentalist Bardi Johannsson, is recognized for their blend of songwriting, electronica and glacial atmosphere.
