Anyone in the U.S. that’s curious about Chinese indie bands now has a chance to check them out firsthand. The Sing For China Tour will be bringing three of the top Chinese indie bands – Queen Sea Big Shark, Hedgehog (pictured below) and Casino Demon (all on the Modern Sky label) – through 15 U.S. cities over 22 days. The finale performances take place at Columbia University on September 25th and at the Chinese Cultural Festival in Washington on September 27th.
If the music is not incentive enough, the entire artist share of performance money will be donated to the China Aids Orphan Fund. We’ve had the opportunity to see these bands perform many times in China and we are curious to hear what audiences think of their performances in the US.
