Lines: GriffO // Guest band: Future Orients

GriffO takes suave jazz rhythms, sugar-coated indie rock, and kawaii punk-pop and propels it into the far future. With songs based on ideas like computer-generated emotions and all-knowing AIs, their kinetic brand of amped-up math rock is intoxicating and thought-provoking. On stage, they’re unbeatable – all exquisitely crafted songs and dreamy vocals, with one of the tightest rhythm sections in the universe.

Future Orients play thrilling post-punk, channeling the spirits of Beijing punk’s golden age with hazy shoegaze pleasures and a sinister goth glow. Over an album and an EP, they’ve perfected their brand of contagiously cool, high energy sonic homebrew. Equal parts psychedelic freakout rock, dance punk, and kosmische electronica. Running faster than ever.

Bie Nao is the annual series where Jing A mash together iconic beers with iconic artists. In 2020, Jing A worked with Chinese Football, SUBS, South Acid Mimi and the Hormones to produce 4 unique collaboration beers that reflected their stories and songs, which they then took on tour for a series of raucous, sold-out shows.

In 2021, they’re doing it all over again. Nationwide tours with two of China’s hottest indie bands. A special Bie Nao beer brewed with the bands, featuring A-Side and B-Side styles. Both bands and beers will be on tour starting July, in a series of nationwide Bie Nao shows!

Meanwhile 10 shows at Bie Nao homebase Yue Space in Beijing, featuring some of the most exciting up-and-coming indie artists in China. Special merch, secret surprises and a documentary film that will capture it all.
