Torturing Nurse: 'Our live performances are usually pretty intense'

There's not too much new if you're familiar with Torturing Nurse, but it's a good introduction for the uninitiated and provides me with an excuse to post this photo by Gregory Perez from a classic Torturing Nurse show at Live Bar a few years back and link to this excellent video.

Also, you've probably seen this already, but there's some good news and a hint that 2011 could be a strong year for Shanghai bands. My tip for best new band this year is Naohai incidentally, not that anyone's asking, but still.
