FENDER - legends that they are - are throwing a hell of a party this weekend at VAS est - the venue’s large-scale space at the West Bund - with a killer lineup featuring some of the indie scene’s hottest acts. Wuhan emo torchbearers Chinese Football - whose melodic subversion of Chinese pop and its embrace of emo rock’s instrumental playfulness has ignited the indie pop scene for over a decade - bring their emotionally grand and deftly assembled tunes to the stage alongside Chengdu’s Fayzz, who have become one of the most widely esteemed acts of the current Chinese instrumental rock scene. Joining them will be Wuhan’s A Wordless Orange, whose slinky grooves blend soul, jazz, shoegaze, and psychedelic music into an intoxicating concoction; emerging Hangzhou post punk act The Black Pillow, who lean into the fatalistic undertones of the genre with relish and methodical precision, and Zhaoqing funk-laced indie pop groovers Moonband. Hard to beat a lineup like this folks.
