After many hours of work it now seems that we have a Plastered Music festival of sorts on its way. Working with Maybe Mars we have managed to get 3 of Beijing’s biggest acts to pull off what will be 3 great nights.

Plastered Rock Weekend marks the launch of our new website featuring our “Plastered Backstage” site that is host to our cooperation with China’s rock music scene. We collaborate with Beijing’s top bands to create artwork and plaster it on t-shirts, available in our shops, and from our new website. Beyond the artwork, “Plastered Backstage” is host to a bilingual forum for all events, news, images, and community related to China’s rock scene.

Starting with Friday night (September 18, 2009) at D-22, Plastered brings you the next generation of Chinese rock with the city’s best student bands vying for a spot as warm- up band for the following night at Yugongyishan (panel of judges to select and the winner will be announced at the end of the night). That night (Saturday, September 19) Carsick Cars, PK-14, and The GAR will take the stage at Yugongyishan (all on the Maybe Mars record label). This is the last chance to catch these bands before they take off on their international tour.

Tickets for the event at Yugongyishan are RMB 60 but we’re giving away hundreds of free tickets online starting September 1st. Sign up for the free tickets at www.plasteredtshirts.com. On top of the free tix, expect free giveaways.

The Plastered Rock Weekend night at Yugongyishan will be streaming from the Plastered site for those who choose to watch and rock at home. It officially marks the launch of the site.
