Crayon Case is an indie band from Surabaya, Indonesia, bringing their first China tour. Their music blends tropical, chaotic city vibes with intimate bedroom pop textures, creating a mix of dreamy melodies and distorted guitar noise. The Shanghai stop features local guest Me and My Sandcastle, complementing Crayon Case’s signature sound.

About the Show

Crayon Case grew up in Surabaya, Indonesia, a city with high humidity and sudden tropical downpours. Their music reflects the mix of tropical heat, urban chaos, and youthful restlessness unique to Southeast Asia. It features reverb-heavy guitar noise and whispering vocals, evoking private, introspective moments that resonate with the intensity of adolescence.

The band’s first China tour brings this atmosphere to the stage. Tracks like “Surabaya” and “Gravits” convey the pulse of a developing city—rough yet alive, chaotic yet sincere. The live experience transforms distant streets, motorbike roars, and rainy-season ambience into immersive guitar-driven sound.
