Below is a list of things I have come across live venues in China, with my experiences of doing sound. It is a simple list of things that venues need to consider to make their venue work on a technical basis. Some are more significant than others, and I know what most…
somebody finally put in writing what i have been saying since i moved here…
Hi,Nathan!
It was bound to happen Rhys from Pairs adding some extra analog synths to some recordings that will soon see the light on CDR. It’s a pop project with Cee Q from Marquee VII and I was very impressed by both her voice and the songs. It will all be mixed and mastered next Tuesday so will be posting the results soon.
Pop hits coming soon,Yo!
<How Deep Is Your Love Acoustic Ver.>
I've just recorded a song of ours with my trash guitar and my trash Ipad1 and I uploaded it in our douban site.
Just in case you get bored with no updating..

Looking for a new guitarist for our band.
Yes,Looking for a new guitarist for our band.
We turned down all of our shows in July and even August just for looking for a new guitarist to restart.
Anyway,if you are interested or anyone that you could recommend to us.
Email us on:[email protected]
Chinese male only.
"Chinese" is for Judith as she is a racist.
"Male" is for me as I'm a sexist.
Guess nobody would join us since these saying above.What kind of band are we?Haha.
The most shittiest organization,shittiest staff,shittiest tuner(who I assume he knows a shit about tuning at all as he mute my voice twice;mute our guitarist 3 times IN ONE SONG!!! AND not to mention there is no microphones around the drum,even no wires for your fucking broken speaker boxes.Seriously?So I'm gonna make my guitar sound with your fucking hair in your crotch?) Oops,I almost forgot the shittiest stage as you can see in the picture above.Can you find where that is?Neither can I! And YES, we were surrounded by a group of unfinished buildings and building workers and the most strangest audience in the world who had asked me to dance on the stage AND!That was 10am in the morning! You call it a Summer music festival?I call you a Summer shit fiesta!
Can I say it is a little bit sad that this might be our last show before our next new guitarist show up? Fortunately we’d played with the most amazing band from Beijing Snapline in our last show.Kind of released..
Though it’s a little bit weird for us to play in front of a goal-oriented devoted fans of a famous post punk band from Beijing.But we think we still had a great time with them.At least I think.
I was ready for nobody would give a fuck about us at the show before we started.Cos personally thinking ,we may never share the same crowd .Especially in China,everybody is having fun in their own circles and piss the others.And obviously today, we are in their circle!
Guess we are lucky, we didn’t get any glass bottles throw at us or any dirty words at us as well.Probably they were just being polite in front of your face then fuck you behind.But whatever,Yeah!We made it.I made it ,even after 4 hours’ sleep last night.And I could roll my head just like that without fall off the stage like Rhys did.I’m so proud of myself.
Here is a band that I must mention :Feima.Forgive me I didn’t paste a link of theirs,cos I’m so tired and out of conscious right now,you may call me lazy.But it is much more EASY to find them.Just google or baidu their douban or weibo or their bandcamp.Guess I’m old,every time I saw young lovely shy kids around I just can’t help to like them,especially when they are doing music in such a serious way.I gotta say these young kids are really brilliant,they’ve just graduated from college,and they even recorded their amazing album in drummer’s home.What a bunch of lovely kids.Their kind of noise shoegaze way of playing was shocked me.They are shy but more confident.So is their music.I’m really happy playing with them,makes me feel young again.
In all. Thanks to John who organized the Show of Sunday Live Shanghai.We will never get the chance to play with such an amazing band Snapline if without his efforts.And also these beautiful pictures he shot. The last pic is from Rhys’ which I personally like the most.Thank you Rhys and how is your sunburn back after all the slaps from Nathan’s btw?
Lots of people asked us when is your next show? I gotta say despite the stupid business show at June 22nd and 23rd for some French Summer Music Season Festival,I don’t know when is the next actual show of ours.In use of our drummers saying,everything depends on God!
There is another chance that this may is our last show if I am going to leave… Does that sound like I’ m going to die? This time, No!
Alex Hutchings LIKES US!!!
OOOOOH.MY GOODNESS,
Alex Hutchings,he said he likes our music.
OMG.I don't even know who he is....
But our drummer Woo said that he is someone huge(is that a correct word to describe a man who is very famous?)whatever...
Woo said that we have to say something about it in our tumblr.
so here you go:
OMG,We've been liked by Alex Hutchings!!!
God,We're so excited...
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SUMMER TIME!SEXIEST HELLO FROM OUR BASSIST JUDITH IN PHILIPPINES
Don't you guys miss our bassist Judith?
Hot bassist,Hot bassist.ha?
She is in Philippines now on a vacation...on the beach....
with...........her boyfriend...
Oh,come on....Don't show that face.
Still get good stuff for ya!!!!
Here you go!The sexiest hello from her.
You are welcome!
A Dear John Letter:We are looking for a new guitarist!!!
Our guitarist is about to leave us.
Does it sounds like he is going to die?Hope it didn't!
He just decided to leave our team recently with hints,a lot of hints.
He choose to be with his other band JOKER instead of us.
See how things going in this world:You can't have sex with both of the women you love at the same time then extravagant hope that they will still love you the way as you think it would be.
Cos sooner or later both of them will punch you in the face and tell you how pathetic you are!Yeah,that happens.
And you don't wanna be treated like that.I know,dear.
Choose sides before we realize that we are the women in your bed is the only wise choice you made ever since we've met you!
We agreed your leaving,and maybe this is the only thing that we can agree with each other since we've been together..
Why does it sounds like a lovers' talk?oh,right,because we loved you,but you didn't love us back.
What so ever!
Thank you for all the efforts you've ever done for us.
Cos for what you think that " we are changing you" that obviously you don't like ,actually we are just trying to help you looking for yourself.
At least we think we've succeeded a little bit,you may never find yourself,but you did find your true love through our months' helping.Even if you finally did not choose us anyway!
Still good for you!Our dear!
Actually,it's kind of like we are both released...Don't you think?
May you have a wonderful future with your JOKER,
But we will never stop our beat no matter what happened.
PLUS,thank god,we could finally have a chance to change our stupid name you gave us,MARQUEE?I don't even know what that means......and 7?Why?
SO!
Happy Children's Day!!!
AND YEAH,WE ARE LOOKING FOR A NEW GUITARIST!!!
If anybody is interested:

Verse 1
How am I supposed to reply To all your hollow lies What am I supposed to say When you turn and walk away
You don’t like my words Coz you don’t care for the truth All you seem to care Is for the depth of your ruse
For all you’ve said and done There’s nothing to the threat of your...
Wonderful lyrics
Nathan is a good friend of mine and I’ve said most of this in private to him, but I want to shout it from the rooftops, and since I have been told that any more shouting from my roof would result in a night in the slammer, seems like Tumblr is the next best option. You’ve probably heard a lot...
Lovely Nathan!
M7 Gig Annoucement: TONIGHT!!!Charity Showcase @Harley's Bar

This is the best show ever since MARQUEE7 was born. From Sonar Lights China Tour Warm-up last night.
Actually,This was the very first time that we’ve been invited to be a warm-up band in a formal gig.
Okay,it wasn’t actually being invited,we saw it on someone’s weibo,said that they need a warm up band.So we sent some massages.And then we got it!Just like applying for a job apart from the stupid interviews.
But,anyway,YEAH!We made it!
Despite it was Wednesday,not a lot people came to the avenue(probably around 20?maybe less)We had Great time,Great sound,Great performance.ever.We will never forget yesterday night!Huge step for us!!!
You might know how hard it was to find a great tuner to help you if you are a new band in town.Nobody will give a sh*t about you,and sometimes(a lot of times)you must thank god if the tuner didn’t mess you about!
And,yes,THANK GOD,the tuner yesterday did not only mess us about but also helped us a looooooot!
Because,our tuner last night is ZhangHaiSheng,the owner of Yuyintang Live house.He usually don't do sound check for young bands.He is someone!But he incredibly did sound check for us yesterday night.O...M...G!!!We alway feel so grateful to Zhang,because,he really did a lot of helps to so many Shanghai rock bands.And before he own Yuyintang,He was a great tuner in old ARK Live house in Xintiandi.People like him who would offer such helps with young bands to develop are so rare these days.
And so is Rhys O'Loughlin from the band Pairs.
You could never imagine if without these people,what would happened in Shanghai music world.
Chinese rock bands are so look like babies to the world,We are so lack of nutrition and cares.We survive so hard,but we are still would like to devote everything just for chasing those stupid dreams.But unfortunately with these kind of stress, bands are so easily to be deformed in a very bad way.Lots of them either split because of money issue or turn out to be wedding bands and etc.God knows how long will we survive .
SONAR LIGHTS,a pretty cool alternative rock band from Dellas,Texas.U.S.They are really professional musicians,they spend a lot of money on arranging their China tour.Nobody helps them,They arranged everything themselves,they open up a weibo account ,renren account,douban account without even recognize Chinese,but they did it.And they have a cute drummer!!!
This is a really good example for our all Chinese bands should learn about.Might be in foreigners’ eyes,we didn’t do this because we are so shy.But as a Chinese ,I have to say ,no,it’s because we are too proud!We are always waiting for opportunities to come for us,and all the Chinese bands are sharing this kind of attitude in common which is We are rock bands,We need to be cool!Even being a Chinese I don’t understand what makes us so proud of....
Yesterday not a lot people come,and to be honest actually nobody knows who Sonar Lights is in China,but they still showed their best performance to us,They did their best and even encored just for those several people’s cheering out there in the middle of the night,they could had just left and didn’t give a fuck about it.But they did it,they still encored,and give best encored ever.I think that is rock bands should be look like,that is the right attitude to do everything!And they even have a cute drummer!!!
We would so much love to have you guys back in China again!SONAR LIGHTS!
Life still needs to continue,no matter what happened.Even if when this blog is no longer belongs to a band any more,I think we will still be proud of these gig pictures from that night,at least we made it!And this is alway the best show ever since we’ve been together!
