Dans le genre math/pop/rock Chinois il y a aussi Chinese Football, groupe mixte originaire de Wuhan, qui a fait sa première tournée en Europe cet été. J'ai pas pu aller les voir au Supersonic, mais la salle était comble et les autres dates étaient quasi toutes sold-out.
Edit: Ils sont déjà bien implanté au Japon avec plusieurs tournées sur l'archipel et Xubo (Gt./Vo.) cite bien sûr Number Girl comme référence

Et le guitariste nous donne au passage quelques infos sur la place du rock indé en Chine:

How do the Chinese emo and punk scenes differ from that of the West?
The rock-n-roll history in china is only 30 years old. Our hometown wuhan, so called “punk city” in late 90s, has less than 5 punk bands right now. There are not enough bands and audience to create a ”punk or emo scene“ but yes, it does have some “scenes” right now for underground music but they are very small and limited, in another side, it has enough space for growing.
We do the same DIY things as the West, the difference is maybe that we share the same fans with other genre bands.
Wuhan a 11 millions d'habitans et l'interview date de 2016, donc pre-covid.
Et sur la différence avec le rock japonais
Citation:
Sometimes I went to local live house to watch live shows and sometimes I camp in music festivals, it’s just a part of my daily life, no matter where I live. Japanese bands’ and live houses’ numbers are far more than China, because of that I think the competition is more intense and most bands are high in accomplishment. People here work hard and play hard, play music as a hobby, just the same as Chinese Football. But many bands in china look lazy, play music as showoffs dreaming of becoming rockstars. In my home town, most band members are college students, they made great music but break up immediately after graduation.
At the live show, Chinese audiences are more enthusiastic. It‘s easy to feel like a rockstar sometimes, haha. The audiences may not understand your music but he came to get high, so you rock, he get happy.
Et bien joué, Hitsujibungaku
Ils ont un avenir radieux devant eux !
