The Summer Shape continues to roll out the red carpet for some of the indie scene’s finest - with tonight giving the spotlight to the country’s resurging emo and noise rock scene - with special guests Midnight Ping-Pong, from Taiwan, whose upbeat, emotionally charged tunes relish in sun-soaked city pop ditties and guitar-heavy melodies with effortless enthusiasm. Joining the fun will be Zhengzhou’s wishtoday - torch bearers of the emo resurgence in China - whose jarring, sorrowful, reckless, sincere, naive, and exhilarating sets - a swirl of tones, emotions, and stylistic choices - have made them overnight sensations. Also - you’ve got Qingdao’s EmoCloud - who take a sledgehammer to our notion of emo, smashing it to smithereens, before tossing in synthesizers, breakbeat, hyperpop, lo-fi aesthetics, and screamo vocals, as well as Changsha’s More, who wear their Midwest emo with its heart on its sleeve, and Suzhou’s rawly theatrical and emotionally combustible Acid Room. Like a lot of Summer Shape’s showcases, this one is split between Yuyintown’s Cube and Basement.
