And so it’s all over. Snapline, Besnard Lakes, Hedgehog, Rainbow Danger Club and lots of other bands all played to big crowds in Shanghai this weekend. There will be some stories upcoming but the other news is that Mao Livehouse had a VIP/ soft opening on Friday night. You can check out photos of the new space on Douban. Our initial conclusions are
- it’s awesome to have that bigger space back in Shanghai
- the renovation is really nice
- the space is actually a bit smaller than the previous one – it certainly feels so with a lower roof and wider stage
- the location isn’t perhaps as good as the previous one: although it’s more central, it’s further from the centre of live music operations that was Kaixuan x Huaihai x Yan’an
Does anyone actually have any feedback about the party itself?
