Icelandic band We Made God has been touring for around 14 years now. Their atmospheric rock music reflects the icy and stormy land of their residence. Something about songs like ‘Oh Dae-Su’ and ‘Gizmo’ recall geography and landscape more than they describe emotions or people. This show is certainly worth catching.

Wed, Dec 12: December Book Exchange
Still deciding what books to read over the festive period? The Book Exchange Library in Shuiwei should help you out! Their Wednesday evening event continues last month’s discussion about award-winning books. Swing by and check out the biggest expat library in Shenzhen, which will be open for checkouts and returns.
Wed Dec 12, 7-9pm; free entry. Shuiwei Community Service Center. See event listing.
