UPDATE: They've just announced a date in Nanjing as well - seems like they're deciding to play everywhere else following the ban in Shanghai. Time to hop on a train...When you play in Hangzhou of course. Or at least that seems to be the case with Top Floor Circus. If you haven't been paying attention, here's a quick catch up:
Top Floor Circus play Shanghai Welcomes You at 0093's CD release, with new, direct lyrics
Top Floor Circus get called in for a cup of tea with the authorities
Top Floor Circus' Christmas show gets cancelled
Shanghai Welcomes You and all traces of it are wiped from the interwebs
Top Floor Circus get handed a six month performance ban
But now the band have announced a gig in Hangzhou. They'll play Traveller's Bar on the 27th of this month, more details here. Of course, this doesn't take away from the travesty that is their performance ban in Shanghai for voicing dissent against the Expo, but at least they're allowed to play somewhere. I wonder if they'll play Shanghai Welcomes You...
