2024.11.23
Hat tip to my old Beijing buddy Laurent Hou for the kick ass photos!
Beijing nostalgia reared its head last Saturday at Specters as the Alpine Decline - the LA-based psychedelic rock outfit - who cut their teeth with the Beijing indie scene and Maybe Mars over ten years ago during my time there - returned to our good graces. The band officially left back in 2016, only returning once or twice since then to plug a new release and catch up with their old musical cohorts. What’s amazing about the band is how much of an imprint there had on the indie scene in China - and I didn’t fully realize - on my musical upbringing here likewise (the first vinyl I ever owned was their ‘Go Big Shadow City’).
Better yet, was how many of their tracks have lodged themselves into my brain - partly cause they have such a big catalogue - and partly cause the band never cornered themselves sonically - instead allowing their surrounds and musical tastes to evolve and shift as its core couple - vocalist and guitarist Jonathan Zeitlin and drummer Pauline Mu did. ‘The Visions Run Dry’, ‘Alligator’, ’Pre-Colombian Artifact’, ‘220/110 Burnout Blues’ and ‘Blameless’ (which turned this man into a blabbering baby). The band were in their element - tight as ever - even with Yang Hiasong jumping in on bass with essentially three days to learn the set. Party like its 2016 indeed.
Support came in the form of Shanghai’s own Solid Liqui - who knocked it out of the park with their set - firing on all cylinders. One of the city’s best.
