Details are just emerging on Douban that one of the most well known bands in the independent Chinese music scene and the most celebrated on the Modern Sky label are breaking up with their record label of over 13 years. New Pants (新裤子) announced today that they would not be appearing at any Modern Sky events this year, due to a contractual breakdown. Modern Sky had put them on the bill of the Strawberry Festival without the band’s permission.
Modern Sky have replaced New Pants with Super VC.
