Boys Climbing Ropes: The Last Waltz

Over here at the Radar, we don’t normally do the whole weekend live music, gig roundup, go see my friend’s girlfriend’s cousin’s band post, but this is a special one. Longtime Shanghai shitrock indie band (and Split Works opening band MVPs) Boys Climbing Ropes are breaking up, and their last-ever shows (that’s with an “s”) are Friday and Saturday night at Yuyintang. They will be joined by pretty much every other band playing in Shanghai over the course of what promises to be a very long, rock-filled weekend.

Gig poster below and full lineup (filched shamelessly from SmartShanghai) after the jump.

    Change is Banana Monkey is playing — this is their first show with their new bassist.

    Fondest memory playing a Split Works show: waiting for St. Vincent to go on stage and then  eating all her hummus and drinking all her diet Tab that the Lady Claire Hamilton had to buy special from the City Shop.
