For those of us craving some originality on the music scene, Tanghui will be host to Battle of the Bands this September. Expect to see a gathering of 16 quality unsigned live acts all competing for 50,000rmb worth of cash and prizes, not to mention the invaluable benefits of exposure of this kind. A night perhaps not for the weak hearted, Tanghui Bar is renowned for its powerful sounds and devotion to all things rock. Good news for budding bands; there's still time to get a piece of the action and be in with a chance of competing in this exciting competition. Interested parties are asked to send a demo CD with 2 original songs before August 23rd to Morry Morgan at Tanghui (just two days to go - be quick!). One of the requirements for aspiring bands is that they must be at least half composed of local Chinese performers. Hopefully this will ensure a balanced fusion of the talents found within and around the city.
