Air at Yugong Yishan
September 26~27, 2008 With their first ever shows in China, Air also happened to be a very fitting choice of first foreign act to perform in the post-Olympics, post-Bjork era: relaxing, intimate and ever uncontroversial.
Masters of la politesse, Messrs. Nicolas Godin and Jean Benoit Dunckel took to the stage on time and in characteristic lounge outfits of open collars and shrunk pants. Godin manned the mic and electric guitar, while the elfin Dunckel ensconsed himself in the keyboard section, switching off between the synthesizers and grand piano.
A gleeful bearded drummer joined them.
