Blog party!

Well, well, well. Two years of this shit, eh? Can you believe it? Well alright, it's actually just under a year for me, but Andy started blogging about Shanghai's music scene way back at the end of May 2008 and to celebrate, we're throwing a little shindig. Nothing major, just a few friends, drinks and - naturally - some great music. If you're reading this, you're invited and frankly, we'll be pretty put out if you don't come. So here's all the need to know ish:

What: Kungfuology 2nd Birthday Party with Jake and Andy.

Date: Tuesday 25th May

Time: 9.00 - 11.00 (evening) (bar remains open till late)

Where: Yuyintang 

(上海 长宁区 凯旋路851号 （近延安西路口) - Kaixuan Road 851, opposite the Yan'an Road West Line 3 Station)

Door: Free entry, no ticket required

Featuring: musical guests Ho-Tom the Conqueror and Miniless' Han Han. 

This will be a chance for all blog readers, scene writers/workers and band members/fans to meet up for a couple of hours and shoot the shit at our favorite venue. It will also feature guest musical performances from:

The legendary Shanghai based producer, label manager and musician extraordinaire; the mind behind Kungfuology's album of 2009 Lava/Ox/Sea's Next Episode; guitarist in Boojii and Duck Fight Goose and all round source of inspiration ----- will perform an exclusive solo set for your listening pleasure. Start time around 10.15

Representing the international contingent we have singer-songwriter Tom Mangione. Ho-Tom combines razor sharp lyrics, engaging spoken word/poetry and memorable turns of music into a complete performance. His beat generation style and commanding voice remind us that the simple singer-songwriter can still be creative and relevant - if you have the skills. Be conquered. Opening at 9.30

Andy and Jake will be knocking around the whole time and all attendees are welcome to stalk us talk to us about anything you like. Ask them about the blog or tell them how full of shit they are; tap their scene knowledge or mock their scene ignorance ... or just say hi. It's not a gig, so to speak, it's a chance for us all to hang out and take in some top notch musical guests while we're at it. It officially ends at 11.00 but the bar will go on.
