<p>New Noise is very proud to present two shows for Deafheaven. The San Franciscan band who have left an undeniable footprint on modern metal will play Beijing MAO Livehouse on Nov 19 and Shanghai Future House on Nov 20. Described by Rolling Stone as a &ldquo;boundary-pushing blend of black metal, shoegaze and post-rock&rdquo;, Californian post-metal five-piece Deafheaven combine screamo vocals and pounding drums with surprisingly melodic guitars to mesmerising effect. Following on from their critically acclaimed 2018 album Ordinary Corrupt Human Love, which featured the Grammy-nominated single Honeycomb, the band&rsquo;s China tour promises to be something very special indeed.</p><p>While their 2011 debut Roads To Judah got them noticed, it was 2013&rsquo;s gigantic Sunbather that earned them their legacy. The group took the raw energy of black metal and combined it with the beautiful crescendos and atmosphere found in post rock and shoegaze, creating a record that could only be properly described as a nightmare disguised as a dream. Love or hate them, you can&rsquo;t deny the massive impact this band has had on metal as a whole.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>New Noise Proudly Presents</p><p>DEAFHEAVEN</p><p>&ldquo;Ordinary Corrupt Human Love&rdquo; China Tour 2019</p><p>November 19&nbsp; &nbsp; Beijing &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; MAO Livehouse</p><p>November 20 &nbsp; Shanghai &nbsp; Bandai Namco Future House</p><p>Info &amp; Tickets: www.newnoise.cn</p>

Live Beijing Music is looking to keep the flames of rock and roll simmering this October weekend with a indie rock lineup that’ll have your earworms doing back flips with some old favorites as well as some new shakers making a splash on the scene this year. Headlining the evening are magnetic dream pop groovers Last Goodbye. The band, fresh off their self-titled debut remains one of Beijing’s finest. They've been kicking around town for years, crafting beautifully realized tunes brimming with the existential dread and anxiety that looms with adolescence. There’s an encroaching rhythmic pulse to their sound filled with lush textures, elastic melodies, and colorful aplomb, all fine-tuned to have the utmost effect on listeners leaving them dazed. Joining them are Summer Vapour, the indie pop outfit who have burst onto the scene this year with some top-grade, refined bubbly city pop laced with dreamy ethereal and surf rock allure. Not one ounce of fat on these boys - genuine, pulpy indie pop that never falls into gimmick and isn’t afraid to bring a little noise to the eardrums whilst delivering the goods. Rounding out the lineup are The Claptraps whose reverb-heavy, engulfing noise rock sound has been making its way across the town for over a year, leaving a trail of devilishly good vibes.
