I’m starting a (likely short) series of audio links to Chinese music I’ve bought, mostly rock and electronica. Most of the music in this series is by bands I’ve seen live.

The first band I’m featuring is my favorite Chinese band, The Bigger Band 大棒. They are pretty good musicians from a technical standpoint and great entertainers, both live and in music videos. They don’t have an album out and the only way you can buy their music is online is on iLike, as far as I can tell.

Audio: 03 Down! Down! Down! [Demo]

Outside China? Watch the “Oh! You” music video on Facebook here.

You can see The Bigger Bang from 2:30 to 3:10 p.m. at Day One of Strawberry Music Festival this Saturday on the Strawberry Stage.

You can buy The Bigger Bang’s  self-titled EP at:

Phone: 13466775001, 15901080625
