Today was learn about thriving Chinese music scene day. Clicking started on various Beijing culture blogs, I than discovered a US tour in progress back east. Major coverage on mainstream media, ironically, zilch from the hipster set, beyond Brooklyn Vegan. (where I found Mp3’s.) The tour is being  presented by one of two, indies from Beijing,  Maybe Mars.  (What is the other label? )  Maybe Mars also operates a club called D-22. The artists cite influences ranging from Sonic Youth to Woodie Guthrie.
