Despite all the hype, there are few Beijing bands that truly excite us, and Re-tros are one of those bands. Celebrating the release of their first studio album in nearly 4 years, the Re-tros are playing as part of the STD party on April 18th at Yuyintang. We haven't heard the album yet (and get mixed revues), but the Retros rarely disappoint and we excited to see them with a new set list. Supported by Nanjing based, Fading Horizon, and the STD DJs this gig is well worth the 60rmb entrance fee.
