2024.4.27

Neo Bar - the legendary live music venue deep in the heart of Yangpu’s university district - has been giving solace to the young corruptible souls and raising some of Shanghai’s most beloved music acts for a whopping twelve years (across three different locations)! The bright red lights; the dueling movie screenings; the fridge full of Asahi bottles; and its motley crew of rabble-rousers keeping the place afloat - it’s iconic! 

As expected, the team celebrated the only way they knew how last weekend - with two nights of music - with some of my favorite acts to have graced the stage over the years. 

I wisely avoided night one out of fear for my liver - and subconsciously made up for it on night two. Things got messy. Night two featured two of Xinxiang’s most feverish live acts - punk stalwarts Pumpkins and Colombian Col, who have turned their madcap, visceral and  irreverent noise rock into sermon - developing cult-like status in just under a year. Joining them were Beijing rap rock outfit Cypher T and Shanghai’s own psych blues rockers Poetry in Shorts. 

A symphony of debauchery it was - one that my body is still reeling from. And if anyone can find my broken glasses please do reach out to me!
