Well that's it folks... yet another example of the wonderfully new Beijing curfew for the good of a harmonious society. Until next time! Kro's Circus, with the help of D-22, Gibson Guitars and City Weekend, will rise again!

12:12 Uh Oh... THE COPS HAVE COME IN AND SHUT DOWN THE CONCERT!!!! They've shut down the sound system. People are yelling "Play On! Play On!"

12:11 The K is finished their last song! to shouts of "We Want More!" Still two more bands to go!

12:07 Dancing has broken out beside me. And the Brit sitting in front of me who shall remain nameless is being seduced by the girl sitting beside him...

12:02 "We Love Office Lady"

12:00 The K is still going strong... and drawing out the crowds too. They're playing a "slower" song... but just that much more groovy

11:51 "For the nightclubs, for the BMWs, for the hot bitches... this next song was written for you..."

11:48 The K is into their third song now. As high-octane as the last two. The dreads are coming out now too.

11:40 The mohawks are out in full-force

11:38 The K is putting on some thick ska-esk sounds

11:31 The K Is getting ready to go! They've got a synth, and what I can tell will be a sick bassist. The drummer is playing jazz riffs in the background... and the Guitarist has the sweetest turquoise blues guitar.

11:21 24 Hour has finished their set. Very cool. 3 more bands to go! If you're just sitting on your ass reading this, come on out! the night is still young.

11:17 That girl sure knows how to do a guitar solo...

11:14 Some really good tunes coming out of IC Girl Band. There's a large crowd standing all around the stage, completely immersed in the rich sounds coming out. Classic rock sounds with some Chinese vocals on top! Who can ask for more?

11:02 The music officially starts! Where are YOU now?? You should be here. The All-Girl Chinese rock band from Xian IC Girl Band starts their first set. Belting high pitched English lyrics to a hypnotic drum line.

10:58 The piercing sounds of the electric guitar are starting to come through the amps now. Its going to be a LOUD party!

10:46 Alright the show is getting underway now. Sound checks and wondrous intermittent blasts of bass. The crowd has slowly built up now, I would say well over 100. Everyone is finished eating.

Kro's Nest, D22, Gibson Guitar and City Weekend brings you the next installment in Kro's Circus!
