renzhe Posted April 18, 2008 at 10:48 AM Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 at 10:48 AM I don't know about neo-psychodelia, but there are plenty of indie-rock bands in China nowadays (though the scene is still very much underground). Check out these threads for a bit of more info: http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/2-favourite-chinese-musician1079&highlight=rock http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/13279-good-chinese-music&highlight=rock http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/12717-songs-that-are-not-cheesy&highlight=rock Your best starting point for finding out more is www.rockinchina.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokeyzilla89 Posted April 18, 2008 at 06:16 PM Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 at 06:16 PM Thanks for the links. Here are some of the bands I've found so far that I like: Lonely China Day Xu Wei Carsick Cars - http://www.myspace.com/carsickcars Ashes on Wednesday - http://www.myspace.com/ashesonwednesday Shou Wang - http://www.myspace.com/shouwang I noticed that some of these guys are part of another genre I really like: shoegazing. I also came across a music recommendation site: http://www.douban.com/music/. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Fretta Posted November 6, 2008 at 02:16 AM Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 at 02:16 AM Hey you, Recently I was also searching for some indie bands. I really cannot any longer stand this shallow cpop, even just for practising Chinese... . However, what I like to recommand is MY LITTLE AIRPORT (downloadlink at http://theeta-backtoschool.blogspot.com/2007/07/my-little-airport-zoo-is-sad-people-are.html). Another one, which can compete with western ones in my point of view is TIZZY BAC (u might like to look here to get it: http://community.livejournal.com/music_envy/161667.html). Furthermore, the above mentioned link provides a good overview about some indie bands. xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gougou Posted November 6, 2008 at 03:01 AM Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 at 03:01 AM Douban's music recommendation engine is not very sophisticated. If you're looking for indie bands, you might want to give Neocha a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catdiseased Posted December 13, 2008 at 02:59 AM Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 at 02:59 AM http://www.myspace.com/thescoff should somewhat fit your description. I saw them live at a indie festival at 2kollegas in Beijing, they rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Pigeon Posted March 9, 2009 at 09:16 AM Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 at 09:16 AM Second Hand Rose. You can buy one of their albums on iTunes, do a search for Liang Long, their lead singer. http://www.ershoumeigui.com/html/html/news/ Peace, Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
