Live Punk/Metal Music in Beijing?

Recommended Posts

First, sorry if this should be in the Music forum, but I thought this was more appropriate... Leisure/Fun/etc.

Basically, my question is:

Anyone know of a place where I can see/hear live punk/metal/R&R bands in Beijing?

-It doesn't have to be in English.

-It doesn't even have to be good.

-I just want to hear something that ISN'T a Backstreet Boys derivative, an R&B ballad, S.H.E.-inspired, or a dance/techno track.

I've found the Jazz. I've found the folkie singer type. Now I'm looking for "crunchy guitars" and screaming. Any suggestions?

If it helps put things in perspective.... I like Cui Jian. Similar to him and/or "more obnoxious" would be great.

Thanks,

magores

just pick up the print copies of thats beijing, City Weekend and Time Out Beijing. They have a list of upcoming shows and you can tell who's playing most of the times. A lot of the pubs/bars in the Haidian area have rock bands.

Don't forget Beijing's answer to CBGB: yigongyishan ( behind the bus bar). they had some really cool Norvegian Heavy metal bands play there a while back

Yu gong yi shan 愚公移山, near the Workers' Stadium, extremely hard to find, but it has good music. I saw Cui Jian there, and Wang Lei...

Other places: the Nameless Highland bar; Get Lucky (I think it was 毫运 in Chinese); and many more. Like Doumeizhen and badr say, check out That's BJ.
