The Fleshtones
The Fleshtones
Friday 23, 9pm, Yuyintang, 80RMB
They played their first show at CBGB (and were one of the last bands to play the hallowed gig spot), once shared a practice room with The Cramps (but were the ones kicked out for making too much noise) and have worked with everyone from Steve Albini to Sir Ian McKellen. Over the course of 40 years in the game, there’s not much for New York garage rockers The Fleshtones to check off of their wish list, but this weekend sees them add another first – their debut show in Shanghai.
One final roost
Rooster YKL Farewell Party
Sat 24, 12pm, Free
After four years of broken glasses, toppled scooters, and enough water poured on them to power a small dam, The Rooster on Yongkang Lu is finally saying farewell to the location where it all started. But before they shut the doors, they're inviting you to help them drink the place dry. All stock must go, which means there are some deals to be had. 20RMB for Heineken, wine, and mixed drinks, craft beer and premium spirits (while they last) for 25RMB, and their signature Cock-a-doodle-brew is 30RMB all day.
