FAZI, Grandfather of Beijing Yaogun, Releases Debut Album in the West

My name is Kevin Salveson and I run So Cal area label Extablisment Media. We're new but we're going to be big. Scratch that. We're already big, it's just that no one seems to know it yet.

We want you to come along with us for the ride as we blow up. It'll make you look good being early on us, and hey... we already look fine. So win-win!

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU? We have a large private network of international music business contacts around the world and coverage from your fine organization would find its way to cross-promotion and pollination for all involved including a push to our burgeoning network of Asian music fans.

Hell, you're already ahead of us in some ways on that, and we are ahead of you in other ways. Whatta fit!

Anyway, the point is that Extablisment has a lot of great new writing, art, video, and music we're releasing… so get comfortable with us. We have more to come.

'Course, we'd like you to have a listen and give our fledgling label or artists a mention or two if you're inclined.

Take FAZI for example... please! Check out: www.fazimusic.com

FAZI is one of the founding fathers of rock and roll in China in the early post-Mao era.

A bit of background:
As label founder, I have a DIY ethic.

I spent the 90's in The Undertoad, that seminal noise monster outta Pomona, CA. I then travelled to Beijing in 1995 and started a band with FAZI. We played historic gigs at Yuan Ming Yuan and the disco scene in Beijing.

I just love FAZI's voice. The recordings are mostly pretty lo-fi stuff due to the conditions at the time in Beijing that mostly prohibited rock and roll, but it has a lot of passion.

THE FAZI SONG MOST SUITABLE FOR RADIO AIRPLAY IS THIS REMIX by KAL ON YOUTUBE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QcSiWQidwY

Moving along, we also publish!

On our site we have rock criticism and feature the "split" novel for sale called Salvation Road by KAL as well as IE straight edge punk-rock legend Justice League's Jon Roa.

Bottom line: I really think this kind of music is up your alley… trippy, kinda smart, kinda politically challenging. Or down your sidestreet, or along your river-front. Pick any kind of map metaphor you want, it still works!

I hope you can give it a review, or at least mention that Extablisment Media is up to no good and a force to be reckoned with.

ARTIST BIOS, ART AND ALBUM INFO are all available at www.extablisment.com for your perusal and download. Feel free to contact us and make special requests!

TL;DR I hope you enjoy the music. Much appreciated and thanks for your time.

With eternal gratitude,

Gemini To Headline China's First All-Female Music Festival

China's first Sino-French rock band GEMINI will headline China's first all-female music festival on March 7 at Beijing's Yugong Yishan livehouse. Organized by YEMA Live in combination with Douban Artist, Electric Lady Festival will feature 21 other female-led bands and musicians over two days, including Xin, Li Xiaoyun, Gril Kill Girls, The Power Powders, Twinkle Star and South Acid Mimi Dance Team, making it the first time a collective presents of female artists to a Chinese audience.

Formed in 2006 by Chinese singer SUNA and French guitarist GABRYL, GEMINI's musical style is primarily electro-rock, combined with experimental sounds. Their singular artistic sense, multi-disciplinary talent and expansive musical taste has made GEMINI an iconic figure of today's Chinese youth pop culture. They've been a mainstay of high and street fashion brands such as Nike, Dior, Andre Courreges, Converse and most recently Kappa who sponsored their 2015 Psycho tour.

GEMINI released their 1st album "Personal Life" under the label ZHUSHU, earning nominations from CCTV - MTV, Channel V and BTV and Music Radio Awards. In 2009, the duo signed with Dong Music, founded by famous Chinese producer Zhang Yadong, under which they released their subsequent two albums. Now signed to one of China's biggest domestic labels Taihe Rye Music (TR Music), they've performed in over 20 major festivals and were most recently featured on CCTV3 program Sing My Song Season 2.
