Dear ARClist
The ARChive has been given a wide range of recent CDs from small
Beijing labels offering alternative music made outside the scope and
scrutiny of the Chinese government. Also donated were support
materials includes hundreds of posters and handbills advertising local
Beijing shows, most designed by the hot graphics team, the Cult Youth
Collective.
This donation, organized by the Chinese record label Maybe Mars and
the rock club D-22, is in conjunction with a tour by these bands in
New York, THE CHINESE UNDERGROUND INVASION TOUR, featuring Carsick
Cars, PK-14, White and Xiao He.
So if you are around NYC please attend shows, some free, and see the
photo exhibit (and book) documenting the scene, that ARC has helped
organize with Columbia University’s Arts Initiative.

more than a trade deficit between the US and China!
