Mar 14: Mogwai
Mogwai are hailed as the first name in post-rock, the pioneers and definers of the genre, but they generally laugh off such praise. Over the course of 23 years, they’ve perfected their signature ‘loud-quiet-loud’ song formula in a large and varied discography, while experimenting with everything from spoken word lyricism to poppy hooks. Founded in Glasgow in 1995, the band still largely lives and works out of their hometown. They'll be landing in Beijing tonight (Mar 14).
Thur Mar 14, 9pm, RMB360 presale, RMB450 door. Tango, see event listing.
