Heavy shoegaze act out of Yogyakarta, Indonesia - Sunlotus are making their China debut after Shanghai’s Pale Air hit up their home turf a year ago. Traversing across 90’s grunge/college rock ala Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins to the transcendent soundscapes of bands like My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive, to even more experimental poisons like Boris and William Basinski, it’s a potent blend that hits hard. The band will be joined by Zhejiang’s Serious Desperado - the young emo noise rockers inject their sound with hard-edged angst, muscular musicality, and a youthful vulnerability; as well as Shanghai’s shoegaze aficionados Pale Air, who bring hazy dreamlike allure to their walls of noise, and finally, effects-loaded gaze duo Velocity Season from Ningbo. Heck of a way to close out the weekend.
