Jeff Lang Concert in Wuxi - Aug. 28th

Posted by niels — 2010-08-17T19:11:51+02:00

Australian roots rock and blues legend Jeff Lang has built up a reputation for
startlingly original performances, working without a set list, allowing the unique
energy of each night to shape the songs. Having previously toured with the likes of Eric Clapton and Bob Dylan, Lang is coming back to shake up The Peoples Republic for a second time. Lang’s 2009 China tour won him a boatload of local fans blown away by his guitar-picking skills and soulful live performance. Now armed with a recently released album, Chimeradour, we should expect nothing less than something epic.

Rolling Stone praises Lang’s new albums as “[a] dizzying combination of deep
folk, kaleidoscopic blues and Hendrixesque fuzzy rock, enough to blow most
minds, leaving celebrated contemporaries for the dead.”

Chimeradour is a spectral and many-faceted sonic journey. A voracious musical
explorer, Lang has absorbed and transformed many rich influences in the course of his collaborations with musicians from Mali to Mumbai.

The result -- echoes of African desert blues reverberate in the rolling, hypnotic
lap slide guitar work on South, whilst driving guitar rock of Slow Rooms and Half Blurred Faces suggests the ragged the ragged glory of Neil Young and Crazy Horse. The Australian remarks, “listening to a new Jeff Lang album is like a cinematic experience. Images from Lang’s latest album sear the brain and scour the soul.”

Jeff Lang will be a the BCM in Wuxi on August 28th at 20.00. Tickets price is 30 rmb.

Enjoy!

The new high-speed train - Wuxi to Shanghai in 34 minutes

Posted by niels — 2010-06-28T05:07:58+02:00

1st of July the new train line should be in operation.

Seeing the below map there is an lot of stations on this new line - including a Wuxi New District Station. We have not seen the official time table yet, but have found this link to the schedule for Shanghai Hongqiao to Wuxi. Prices look to be 98 rmb for 1st class and 61 rmb for 2nd class - somewhat expensive when you see that you dont save that much time because the train likely are stopping at more stations - hop on the direct D train instead for 47 rmb (1st class) and be there in 50 minutes. That is not longer than most of the new G trains.

However more trains, more speed, more choice - we ultimately love it.
