Great Drinking Songs (12)

The laowai bluesmen of Black Cat Bone have been Beijing's top party band for the past 3 or 4 years. Finally, they have cut a CD - Drinkin' Alone - and the official launch is tonight at Yugong Yishan. So, now you know what you're all getting for Christmas this year.

Here is frontman Des McGarry, the coolest dude in town, singing one of their signature tunes, I Ain't Drunk (I'm Just Drinking). The sound quality's a bit crap, I'm afraid, but you do get a sense of what a fun live act they are.


This was shot at Yugong earlier this year. There are some rather better quality clips of them playing at the - far cooler - 2 Kolegas here and here (looks like they might be bringing out a DVD as well?).

[Yep, for some strange reason, only Japanese YouTube works for me at the moment....]
