Chamber pop slash psychedelic rock slash post rock here from Weihai outfit Xiantong. Their music is bound up in nostalgia and emotion, although their Xiami account professes, with tongue-in-cheek, that the band lack an entertaining spirit. Catch them on their countrywide tour this month.

In celebration of Taiwanese label Airhead Records 7th anniversary, these two fantastic bands arrive, almost inconspicuously, to our shores for a pair of shows in Shenzhen and Guangzhou. Shangxin Yujue’s harder punk rock stylings match well with the mellow vibes of Midnight Ping Pong. This should be a cracker.
Sat Apr 6, 8.30pm; RMB120 presale, RMB150 at the door. Hou Live. See event listing. Tickets.
Sun, Apr 7: Baia Da Marco Pizza Party
