That's Shanghai takes a look at the best concerts of the week:
Feb 28: Ride
British rock band Ride formed in the late 80s and is considered a seminal shoegaze band, with their debut album, Nowhere, as one of the genre's most important records. The band broke up in 1996 due to artistic differences, with one member moving on to play bass for Oasis. They have since reunited for several tours, and are now making their way to Shanghai. Catch their show at Modern Sky Lab.
Feb 28, 8.30pm. Modern Sky Lab, see event listing.
Mar 3: The Dickies
Punk rock legends The Dickies, who formed in LA in the late 70s and were one of the first major pop-punk bands, with their distinctively campy and irreverent style, embark on their first ever China tour as part of their 40th anniversary. Shanghai bands Round Eye and Dirty Fingers provide a dose of locally-based punk as openers.
Mar 3, 9pm, RMB150 presale, RMB180 door. Yuyintang, see event listing.
