"The geopolitical climate hasn’t exactly improved since 2020, but in many ways that makes it all the more imperative that audiences overseas get to interact with independent Chinese artists. Here’s hoping that can become a reality in the coming months."
I read somewhere that Absolute Purity had to cancel a proposed US tour organised by Angus Andrew, too. Is there a Big Band season 3 planned? I know a lot of people didn’t enjoy it. Indie goes mainstream etc. But I really liked it. Especially the extra shows where they all sat down and tucked into a gigantic table of cold with a particular band. I just there and drooled. Haha. Some interesting politics filtered through the cracks too. Especially the Mongolian folk band.
