The International Music Expo - a leading event in Shanghai that connects music professionals from China and around the world - takes a break from the all-day conferences and lectures with a special musical showcase. Nanjing indie rock outfit, Field Cooperative, has racked up one award after another over the past couple of years (including the Abi Deer Music Award Rock and Roll award) for their sprawling, rustic blues-ridden, psychedelic-fueled poetic realism. Meanwhile, hitting those rhythmic highs of bands like Residence A and Bloc Party, Luoyang’s Sunken Boat is a shaken bottle of pop ready to burst. A fast and punchy mix of saccharine indie pop and anthemic dance rock, the band has grown leaps and bounds over the past couple of years - more assured, more earnest, and more hot-blooded than ever.
