Split Works Shows in September
By Morgan Short, Aug 31st, 2010 | In Dining
Locally-minded, nationally reaching concert promoters, Split Works, have a pretty full plate in front of them for concerts going into September.
Lets watch!
Sept 4: Jeff Lang @ Yuyintang
A one-man purveyor of "disturbed folk", Jeff Lang returns to Shanghai this Saturday at Yuyintang. His show there last year was one of the highlights of their year, so expect that to be quite a good one. Check back on SmartShanghai later this week for an interview, unless our questions bummed him out and he nixes it. 50rmb at the door. Starts 9pm.
Sept 9: Choir of Young Believers @ Yuyintang
From Denmark comes the folky, pop-y, "baroque" sounds of Choir of Young Believers. They're in to Shanghai on a Thursday night. Think Scando Fleet Foxes. 60rmb at the door (there's like 900 dudes in this band). Starts 9pm.
Sept. 10: Ólafur Arnalds @ He Luting Concert Hall
Like Lang, Ólafur Arnalds was also in China last year on his first tour. He's a 23-year old singer / song writer from Iceland, playing in the idiom of neo-classical: "rich, absorbing sonic landscapes". He's performing at the He Luting Concert Hall, at 7:30pm. Tickets are by seating: 80 / 100 / 120 /150rmb.
Sept. 23: The Cave Singers @ Yuyintang
Another Thursday night show, on the stage at Yuyintang is Jagjaguwar records band, The Cave Singers. The guys in this three-piece have previous band credits in Pretty Girls Make Graves, Hint Hint, Murder City Devils, and Cobra High. Music doesn't sound like any of those though. Kind of big heart broken folk / Americana. They're in for a China tour, surfing a tsunami wave of rave reviews. 60rmb at the door. Starts 9pm.
Sept 24: Emile Simone @ Zhijiang Dream Factory
And the next night is their big one for the month: Emilie Simon performing at the Zhijiang Dream Factory. From Southern France, Simon does electro pop with significant Chinese instrumentation and influences, resulting from her living in Chinatown in New York. Should be interesting to see her in Shanghai, location of one of the biggest Chinatowns in the world. The Chinatown in Shanghai basically takes up the whole city it's so big -- it's like 18 million people or something.
Tickets: 80rmb pre-sale; 120rmb at the door.
