The bubbly boy of synth-pop's Owl City is bringing all his beeps, boops and bops to The Benz's smaller venue, The Mixing Room. He'll be playing two shows, so you can catch him and all his fireflies back to back if that's your thing! Tickets ain't cheap though.

Jazzy vocals, trippy film-noir arrangements, this Swedish songwriter is hitting Mao Livehouse for a downbeat, trip-hop show unlike anything we’ve seen out of Scandinavia. He’s been perfecting his sound and his act since the ‘90s, so it’s bound to be a good one.
Nov 23, 8.30pm. RMB160 pre sale, RMB200 door. Mao Livehouse, see event listing, buy tickets.
Nov 23: Aidan Killian

A legend of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, he quit life as an investment banker to become a comedian known for “consistently writing and performing the most committed, knottiest, issue-comedy shows”. Aidan is passionate, bold enough to tackle subjects that others don't dare to mention but with enough charm and humor to get away with it. He has made appearances on BBC, Russia Today, RTE, Channel 4, 98fm, 4fm, Spin fm, Bali Spirit Festival and the Vodafone Comedy Festival. He has also performed at peace festivals in the Middle East and Northern Ireland and as a ‘highlight’ at Glastonbury Festival. And now Aidan is bringing his latest show ‘Imposter Syndrome’ to China, touring in November with the Shanghai Comedy Club, finishing up in Shanghai on the 23rd at Cages Bar & Sports.
Nov 23, 9pm, RMB100. Cages Bar & Sports, see event listing, buy tickets.

Supper club vibes from 6pm; live music from 10.30pm. Futuristic nu-attire encouraged.

Feeder released their first album back in 1997 and went on to become one of the most successful bands their hometown of Newport, Wales had ever seen. With 10 studio albums, 12 compilations, four EPs and 40 singles, they’ve authored an extensive library over the years, despite their two-year hiatus.

Time to get a head start on your Christmas shopping for all the folks back home with some real cute, Shanghai-based-not-Tianzifang-or-airport-gift-shop-purchased presents (with mulled wine in hand, of course). They'll even have pastries and proper food on hand, so you can make a day of it over on Yong Ping Lu.
