Legendary Chinese indie rock group Carsick Cars will be making their Japanese debut in Tokyo at WWWX on November 1st, presented by Big Romantic Records.
After some personnel reshuffling over the years, the original trio of Zhang Shouwang (guitar and vocals), Li Qing (drums) and Li Weisi (bass) – the line-up which recorded the band’s 2007 self-titled classic – have reunited.
Formed in Beijing in 2005, the band are regarded as pioneers – and perhaps now, elder statespeople – of the domestic indie/noise rock scene. They have released three albums (the most recent, ‘3’, produced by Sonic Boom of SPACEMEN 3 and the late, great Hamish Kilgour of the Clean) and toured the world extensively, racking up shows with SONIC YOUTH and slots on festivals including ALL TOMORROW’S PARTIES.
