China's IGO, B6, iLoop, Sulumi in Europe, Nov.-Dec.2009

Last weekend 3 indie rock bands from China hit New York City with high-profile gigs that drummed up lots of media hype and are looking to be landmark events for China's independent music scene.

Likewise, a few of China's top electronic music producers are setting off for a European tour Nov.24-Dec.9, 2009. Starting with Shanghai's electro-synth-pop act IGO @ the "Worldtronics Festival" (Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin, Germany) on Nov.27. Then Beijing's iLoop & Sulumi, and Shanghai's B6 will perform at a festival in Gent, Belgium on Dec.4. There are more dates pending around Europe for these acts before, between, and after these gigs.

Please contact us for more info and bookings. Antidote8@gmail.com

Also, look for European releases and remixes by Shanghai's B6 available now on iTunes, Beatport, Juno, etc.

Antidote November 2009

Just weeks after completing excellent tours with Korea's Sssighborggg, Silent & Eunchurn, and UK's Slick 50, the Antidote brought a massive weekend to Shanghai.



Friday, Nov.6 -- Antidote LIVE @ the new MAO LiveHouse, Shanghai. With PET CONSPIRACY 宠物同谋, Boys Climbing Ropes, Duck Fight Goose 鸭打鹅, B6, Baijiu Robots and some amazing live real time visuals by team LLND. Some pics here: http://www.smartshanghai.com/gallery/11292



Saturday, Nov.7 -- Antidote @ Shelter with MATT.B and Tagtraumer, with support by B6 and Uprooted Sunshine/Sub-Culture DJs Drunk Monk and Blaise Deville. We like mixing up genres instead of making a night with only one style. We started with heavy dub-step and ended with techno, and all sorts of nifty sounds in between.

Everything was awesome, with the exception of Mao running out of beer in the middle of the party. We warned them~!!!

Anyway -- Antidote is done with China for 2009. We are off to Europe for a bit, starting with IGO and B6 gigs in Berlin, Switzerland, Belgium, and more pending. Nov.27 @ Worldtronics Festival in Berlin for the IGO gig, be there!

Big big big stuff in the works for 2010, can't wait.
