By That's Shenzhen, March 21, 2019

That’s Shenzhen takes a look at the best gigs of the week.

Fri, Mar 22: RoseDoggy @ Hou Live

An ambitious rap group from Shanghai, RoseDoggy attempt to combine such diverse genres of hip hop as trap and boom bap. They lean more towards the trap side of things, with some interesting production and beats in evidence on songs like ‘SuperRoseDoggy’.

Fri Mar 22, 8pm; RMB101-199. Hou Live. See event listing. Tickets.

Sat, Mar 23: Kode9 & Kabuki @ Oil

Building on a spate of fantastic bass performances in the underground electronic venue, Oil bring Scottish dubstep maestro Kode9, as well as jungle and UK bass artist Kabuki to Shenzhen this weekend. These two are considered to have helped forge the way forward for their respective genres over the years, and will be joined by China-based artists 3asic, Daniel Power (of Unchained) and Kelvin T (of Absurd Trax). Don't miss this one.

Sat Mar 23, 10pm. RMB100 presale, RMB120 at the door. Oil. See event listing. Tickets.

Sun, Mar 24: Gentle Grape @ B10

First of all, get a load of that name. Gentle Grapes, a young band with an average age somewhere in the region of 22 years old, offers fairly melodic pop punk music. Having taken the stage at a number of festivals throughout Greater China, these guys are battle-hardened, ensuring that this should be a pretty good performance.

Sun Mar 24, 8pm; RMB60 student, RMB80 presale, RMB100 at the door. B10. See event listing. Tickets.
