Local promotions group Super School Fighter books weekday gigs and the occasional weekend showcase show at School Bar. Perhaps you may have not heard of some of the bands playing this series of summer showcase shows, BUT, have you heard of The Diders, Heat Mark, Secret Club, The Big Wave, Free Sex Shop, and Gate to Otherside among others - what do they all have in common? They've all cut their chops playing weekday Super School Fighter shows over the past few years before anybody knew who they were.

Super School Fighter is dedicated to finding new bands cropping up across Beijing, and giving them a stage to test out their tunes and mature as a unit. Nobody works harder and is less recognized than the brain behind Super School Fighter Gu Jingping.

Having booked hundreds of shows over the past few years, released a compilation album, and helped groom dozens underground Beijing bands, Super School Fighter is looking to expand outside of Beijing and continue to help grow the music scenes in other cities around China. In addition to Beijing, last month Super School Fighter also held weekly gigs in Shanghai at Yuyingtan, in Wuhan at the mighty Vox, and in Chengdu at Jah Bar. After much success, this month the Super School Fighter showcase gigs continue to cultivate new talent in these 3 cities and also expand to 46 Livehouse in Changsha and SD Livehouse in Guangzhou!
