Time Killer...Vice TV does Beijing

Vice Magazine has been branching out in recent years and their latest project is VBS a web new portal that does some interesting music related pieces. This month, like everyone else, they are focusing on China and put out some cool little stories on bands like PK-14, Subs, Brain Failure and our personal favorite...the Super Girl contest. Check them out youtube page. Last week it was fine, but this morning we had trouble loading any of the VBS videos so we went with one from their youtube page. Highly recommend is the PK-14 piece, a little something to wet your appetite before the bands September gig in Shanghai.
