Tonight there's the reopening of Not Me and Teenage Kicks round the corner at The Shelter, where you can catch Sacco, Jenn Wong and a bunch of other fruits. Word on the street says Tara's Jueves Latinos night is going to be crammed with hot girls because they've got this Colombian DJ.

Tomorrow, Holy Ghost! play at Pavillon Costes. Free entry, which is a better deal than Saturday, when they play Mao. Friday night at The Shelter, Shanghai By Bus has Swedish ragga-jungle sounds from Boj Lucky.

There's a Pervert Party at Sin on saturday, and the big live gig of the weekend is Independent China in Stereo which sees Carsick Cars, AV Okubo, Guai Li and Birdstriking at MAO Livehouse, while VOID and Antidote go head-to-head and bring you ZLOX, the producer who won Antidote's recent China talent search.

If you fancy something completely different, the jazz bar at The Ritz-Carlton has a new singer starting on Monday. You could be one of the first in town to check out Mandy Gaines.
