Goth with Chinese Characteristics

That's how I'd describe Cold Fairyland. Not terribly goth, though, and I don't mean that in a pejorative way. They put on a good set tonight; short and to the point, and with a lovely bit of pipa playing by the lead singer.

If you didn't see them tonight and you're not planning on heading to the punk show tomorrow, I'd suggest heading out to the New Get Lucky for their show. They're different enough from any of the bands playing in Beijing now, which at the very least makes it worth your while.

Cold Fairyland also has a blog at http://www.blogcn.com/user6/miyadudu/index.html.

It was good to meet a couple of readers, as well. If anyone out there wants to get together before a show next time, let me know.
