number 6 in the MAYBE MARS series of new music from the chinese underground. when muscle snog takes the stage, you never know what you’re gonna get -- some nights it’ll be face-melting rock, others it’ll be mind-bending avant-garde. and at times like these, you’ll barely believe you’re hearing the same band. easily the most innovative band i saw in china.
fifth release in the MAYBE MARS series of new music from the chinese underground. the gar's stunning debut has shaken up the scene in beijing and this has been hailed as the best album of 2009 so far in china. the gar’s pop sensibilities, zhan pan’s astonishing song-writing ability, his almost screaming high-pitched vocals, the clean, jangly rhythms and the crashing waves of distortion from the guitar are some of their notable traits that make them stand out in the beijing scene.
sounding like a cross between okkervil river and dexys midnight runners with their melodic sensibilities wifey are sydney's alt-country rocker champions.

live at bar open dvd (july 2006)
on a hot crazy night tenzenmen brought together baseball (melbourne), ni-hao! (japan), sabot (czech republic) and the thaw (sydney) and crammed them into the confines of bar open in melbourne. here's what happened! 112 minutes of some of the most exciting music in the world and all for a reasonable price.
enhanced cd with rare bonus track combining the first two mini cds (red and blue) with a crazy puppet video and ni-hao! rehearsal video with a ramones cover!
tenzenmen is a sydney based label but unrestricted by any common boundaries, be they cultural or locational.
for the past four years tenzenmen has been working with musicians from around the world. innovation, eccentricity, quirkiness and enthusiasm are the vital factors for us. in a world of commericial formula marketing and nondescript blandness our boundaries are unlimited, genres undefined and attitude uncompromising.
the ground breaking 'eccentrics' series has been received with confusion, pleasure, annoyance and wonder! what more could we ask for!? this series is our present to the explorers of the world - those in search of reason, in search of space and in the constant quest for peace and love. the karmic vibrations will resonate until the bills are paid at least.
now you can download the whole eccentrics series for free!

We'd like to let you know that we just uploaded yet another new song, it's called "Kill Reality" & if you're fed up with the bullshit generated by today's media, fashion & entertainment, you might be in the mood to hear this one.
