Top 5 Weekend Events
Ah yes, another Shanghai weekend is upon us. Food, drinks, music, sunshine, swarms of ofos and mobikes. Here’s what we’re looking forward to this week (and don’t forget to call your mom, it’s Mother’s Day on Sunday!!)

CRYSTAL CASTLES
When: Saturday, May 13, 9pm

If you like a good live show you really should consider this one. The Toronto-based electropunk/witch house duo has been making great music since they formed in 2003. Although founding member and singer Alice Glass left in 2014, they’ve managed to continue making kick-ass music.
Like the music in this article? You can hear all those songs and much more at this fun

MAYHEM MONKEY TEPPANYAKI @ HARLEY’S
When: Friday, May 12, 9pm-LATE
Price: Free
Where: Harley’s Underground
Address: B1/F, 265 Nandan Dong Lu
This Friday at Harley’s you can experience an evening of exotic/eclectic/experimental music and dance jams (as well as actual dancers). Performers include Cruel Buddhist, Capoeira Mandinga, Beatbox Naadam, Tony S Luna, Mr. Weezy and co, and a final ‘Funky Teppanyaki jam’ from 11:30 onwards. Should be fun, and it’s at Harley’s so…. should also be loud and boozy.
