The Demise of Punk Rock in Shanghai: Specters is Dead

ShanghaiWOWeng 2018-11-27

If you're a fan of punk rock, getting down n' dirty with cheap drinks and owning EVERYONE at foosball, then there's no doubt that you were also a pretty big fan of Specters. Sadly, the gloriousness that it was is closing on October 31st after 10 months of operation in Jing'an... yep, Halloween. We can already feel the darkness filling the remainder of our souls with the giant hole that this closure will leave us with.


Here's what they had to say, in a statement released on their WeChat account (SpecTers) late last night:


"Hello, beautiful, wonderful, terrible people.


We knew we’d never last long, but we didn’t think it would be this soon…

The building that Specters is in — 1485 Beijing Xi Lu — has been reclaimed by the local government.

And they’ve got plans for it. Plans that don’t involve trying to choke people to death with second-hand smoke and charging wildly irresponsible prices for alcohol.

So…

It sucks. Its shitty. But that’s it. That’s what it is. We’ve lost our home.  We’re done.

Specters is closing."


But in true Specters fashion, you'll be able to mourn the closure with a colossal "Specters! DEATH WEEK!" So be sure to head over, raise a glass and say goodbye for now.
