Xi'an-based band Huoxing Ruye, or Mars Dairy, are in the midst of a monster tour around the country. With just a few published songs under their belt, they're largely still an unknown property, but judging by their three tracks available on Netease music, their music is sparse, string-based pop, fronted by the beautiful voice of lead singer Wang Wei, and at moments reminiscent of the piercing tones of someone like Rilo Kiley.
Sat Mar 9, 8pm; RMB60 presale, RMB100 at the door. Brown Sugar Jar. See event listing. Tickets.
