Hello! Thank you so much for sharing all of the amazing music that you do on your site! I was the host of the KEXP Re-Tros taping, I have found so many amazing Chinese bands from the work that you do in bringing this music to western audiences. I actually discovered Re-Tros from this blog so I want to thank you for helping to make this taping possible! They were one of the most incredible bands I’ve ever seen live, truly underrated and I’m super excited to continue sharing the music out of the scene here.
As for the pronunciation of the band name, they’d told me earlier how to pronounce (Reh-Troz) but I was so blown away by the performance that by the end I think I just got tongue tied haha.
Also, if you have any interest in booking Chinese Football for a session when they tour the US, drop me a line (can reply to any newsletter) and I can put you in touch. No pressure of course, but let me know if you’d be interested
Oh wow, thanks so much for your comment Diana – this is so great to know! I was really excited to see that they’d played KEXP, had no idea this newsletter had had a role in it somehow.
As for the pronunciation, I’ve always said it the way you did. Honestly, I don’t suppose they care too much as long as people know who they are and are listening to their music.
Was waiting for the release of the Re-TROS KEXP performance since they filmed it. Finally saw it yesterday. Great stuff. Although, did the DJ mispronounce the band name on the intro?
