Marcopalooza

Date: May 30－9 pm

Venue: 4corners, 27 Dashibei Hutong

Price: 60 yuan

Drummer Marco Brun del Re will be celebrating his birthday by doing a marathon drumming stint with all six of his bands. There will also be a charity auction. Proceeds go to the organization Teach for China, to support three schools outside of Kunming. The money raised for these schools will go towards school supplies and materials for students in need. If enough money is raised, the students will receive a trip of a lifetime this summer, to Beijing! If Marcopalooza 2013 is any indication, then it's going to be a pretty raucous show. The bands-including some of the best and definitely the coolest musicians in Beijing-are Tavey Lean and the Solid Gold Dream Machine (nine-piece classic soul, funk, and R&B), Orange Mescaline (original electro funk and jazz), Remedios the Beauty (whimsy indie folk rock originals), Nathan & the Flying Donuts (original folk rock), Yusi & the Mighty Pale (indie rock), and Rocksteady (funk and soul).
