New Years in Beijing was a blast! The party started on the 22nd and didn't really end until Jan. 3rd when I arrived in Korea wrapped in feverish delirium! Somebody wasn't doing their job at customs because I'm definitely a bio-hazard!

There was a show on the 22nd which I had to skip because of prior dinner plans. It was held in some sandwich shop walking distance from my house… I'm not sure who else played other than No Name (from Xi'an) but I do know that Liu Hao, the bassist from Joyside, was there and got so drunk he literally smashed his body through the bar… I guess that's the first and last time they'll be a punk show there?

Soon after I had arrived home No Name returned to my house (I was putting them up for the week) and I got sucked into the drunken revelry. I would list them as one of the top bands in the Chinese scene right now and definitely heading somewhere. They just signed to a German label, Razorblade Music, and will be releasing a new CD this summer (the Chinese distribution will be handled by Modern Sky). If you've never heard them play check out their myspace http://www.myspace.com/thenonamechina.
