Shanghai legend Torturing Nurse has cemented his status as analogue harbinger of noise and audial chaos here in China. Since 2004, dude has clocked in well over three hundred performances across the world and has been published in over five hundred recordings in just about every format. His sets often last anywhere from five minutes to, if the stars align, twenty minutes - depending on how long it takes for the table before him to collapse under the weight of the world and all the madness within it. He even became a viral sensation (and the greatest honor - memeified) at one point clocking in over 3 million views on Facebook. A beacon for the experimental and noise scene in China, Torturing Nurse celebrates twenty years with a new cassette tape release and (of course) a one-man show at his place of residence these days - trigger!
