The Twenties, The Paper Tigers, The Blue Moon

After spending the month of October practicing the dark arts (and sacrificing a few virgins) the Gulou Double Decker is back for another installment of dangerous new sounds to kick your butt back into the next weekend. Yup, bring your grandma cause it’s gonna get rowdy over as pangbianr and Live Beijing Music turn 206 Gulou Dong Daijie into a fire hazard. First up: everyone’s favorite “redneck heaven’ (according to one disgruntled fan on TheBeijinger) is back with the new noise including two brand spanking new bands – The Paper Tigers, whose will bring the edgy indie rock in the vein of The Cure and BlocParty, and The Blue Moon, the descendents of new wave electro rockers DiD. Headlining will be 90s alt groovers The Twenties, a band who have cut their teeth plenty in the past year. Meanwhile, pbr posts up downstairs at Dada with opening sets of dark aural murk from Charm and J Chan, a live set of upbeat avant-pop from Chicago\’s Reaches (formerly I Love You), and late-slot sets of gloomy yet euphoric electronica from Swiss producer Bit-Tuner and local club up-and-comer Menghan.
