NPR has continued their recent trend of occasional but excellent reports on Chinese music with a profile of Beijing post-punk band Rebuilding the Rights of Statues (Re-TROS). The band, who recently played South by Southwest, have released a disc in the U.S. on the San Francisco/Beijing imprint Tag Team Records. Says bassist Liu-min in the NPR report:
We don't expect it will be a big seller, but of course, we are excited to come to the U.S., the most developed rock 'n' roll market in the world. And if Americans hear us, they might see the progress that rock 'n' roll music in China has made.
Look out for a review on this site soon.
