Paper Tigers (indie rock)
The Paper Tigers are Beijing’s “hottest … indie rock band,” and they are taking China by storm. With an explosive and “danceable” sound reminiscent of The Clash and The Cure meets Block Party and The Arctic Monkeys, the band’s original new music is the creation of experienced and successful musicians from four continents forged together in Beijing’s booming underground scene.

Having lived and performed in China, the US, Europe and Australia, the band’s members boast award winning musical experience in their home countries and abroad that includes international touring experience, a swag of big name supports, high rotation radio play, film clips broadcast on national networks and record sales topping 10,000.

The band’s charismatic lead singer, Joey Catanzaro, previously fronted the veteran Australian punk rock band Unpaid Debt, which shared festival and tour bills with internationally acclaimed groups such as NOFX, The Bouncing Souls and Against Me. In China, band members have also previously performed with or supported well-known acts that includes Su Zixu and the Paramecia, GlowCurve, Lazy Camels and Chuanzi.

Going from strength to strength over the past 12 months, The Paper Tigers have continued to wow audiences with their original songs and explosive live show, and are set for a huge Year of the Rooster. In March, the Paper Tigers launched their debut single and video clip, “Hutong Hipster,” with strong media support. The April release of their debut, self-titled EP will be backed up by national tour.

虎是北京当下“最火的……独立摇滚乐队”，而且他们正像风暴一样席卷全中国。他们充满爆发力的，让人情不自禁想跳舞的音乐让人联想到The Clash, The Cure 和Block Party, The Arctic Monkeys的结合。乐队的原创新音乐由来自不同大洲的四位经验丰富的成功音乐人，在北京欣欣向荣的地下音乐环境里共同创作。

纸老虎的成员分别来自美国，欧洲和澳大利亚，他们现居中国，并在中国演出。乐队成员曾在自己的国家和其它国家有着丰富的演出经验和获奖经历，包括全球巡演，为众多大牌乐队开场，同时他们的音乐在广播滚动播放，影片在全国电视网络上播出，他们的唱片更是达到高达一万张的唱片销量。

乐队极富魅力的主唱Joey Catanzaro，曾为澳大利亚老牌朋克乐队Unpaid Debt的主力成员。他曾与国际知名乐队NOFX, The Bouncing Souls and Against Me一起出现在各大音乐节和巡演上。在中国，纸老虎乐队的成员也曾与众多知名乐手、乐队合作，包括苏紫旭、the Paramecia, 发光曲线, Lazy Camels以及川子。

在过去的十二个月里纸老虎乐队不断成长，他们不断用原创音乐以及具有爆发力的现场给观众带来震撼的表演。他们已经准备好在鸡年大干一场。今年三月份，在各大媒体的全力支持下，纸老虎将发表了他们的首支单曲及音乐录影带“胡同嬉皮士”。四月发布同名EP之后，他们将投入全国巡演。

Zhege (pop rock)
Zhege is a band of foreign musicians living in Beijing. They came together with the aim of borrowing ideas from Western songwriters and adapting them, taking inspiration from the culture they have experienced in China. Their debut music video ‘So Fashion’ (Easternisation Album) was a commentary on some wacky fashion trends observed around Beijing’s hipster hangout, Gulou, and was enjoyed by many on social media. Since releasing their first album the band have continued to develop and diversify their sound, writing music that is catchy and sometimes quite funny. Their live show is energetic with a lot of structured improvisation. Abstract lyrical pop music at it's finest!

ZHEGE 是由一帮驻京老外组成的流行摇滚乐队。他们借鉴西方作曲家的想法，并从他们在中国的文化体验获取灵感。 他们的首支MV“So Fashion”是关于展示了北京鼓楼老城区的一帮胡同嬉皮士的生活乐趣，发布后在网上反响强烈。之后他们发行的首张专辑里，乐队不断尝试，挖掘多样化的声音，写出更有趣更炫绿化的音乐。 他们的现场充满活力，并充满很多结构化的即兴表演。

See you there!
