Rock Night: Macondo in Beijing

Date: March 3 - 9 pm

Venue: Dusk Dawn Club

Price: 50-70 yuan

Macondo makes some of the most interesting and exciting music coming out of Beijing today: instrumental rock with elements of math-core, infused with vibes drawn from 70s psychedelic music, adding the production and sound of today's electronic music. Their unique music shifts from sounds that are ambient and heavy, spacious and dense to atmospheric but rhythmically driven. Bombastic drumming, layered with lush floating guitar textures and earthshaking energetic bass attack, and otherworldly synthesizer sounds. Formed in 2014, the band quickly made a splash on the Beijing music scene, their live shows left audiences open-mouthed, describing it as "Volcano Rock".
