A couple of months back, mercurial Moroccan party animal Mr Badr Benjelloun decided to celebrate the second anniversary of his popular food & music blog Beijing Daze by getting together some of his favourite musicians for a long night (and afternoon and early evening...) of debauch at his favourite music venue, 2 Kolegas: the 'dazeFEAST 2011, this coming Saturday, 25th June, from around 4pm onwards... until VERY LATE INDEED.
We are being promised fun & frolics on the lawn, specially devised rum cocktails, a lamb roast, and several hours of great music. The lineup may be a thing of some fluidity, but I think as many as 14 bands have been touted as possible/probable; and there is every likelihood of extended jam sessions continuing into the wee small hours. Laowai favourites Black Cat Bone and Mademoiselle should be leading the charge, along with new bluegrass combo The Randy Abel Stable and precocious youngsters Maggie Who, and of course 2K's Ningxia regulars Nucleus/Li Dong, as well as visiting Norwegian band Black Snakes, and - I'm guessing! - at least elements of Wu & The Side Effects, Purple Smog, AIS, and The Flying Mantas.... and more....
Let's hope the weather stays benevolent and the jingcha continue to be uninterested! See you there!!
[It is a royal pain-in-the-arse that I am working on Sundays this month. But I shall try to pace myself as best I can.]
