PET CONSPIRACY (CHI) 22h00
Pet Conspiracy was formed in Beijing the winter of 2007. Consisting of lead singer Helen Feng from ZIYO (named by Time-Out as one of China’s coolest rockstars and awarded the Best Female Rock Singer in 2009 by MIDI) and Huzi one of China’s first and most renowned electronica artists, their initial project seemed like the beginnings of a superband. From their surprising debute performance, audiences applauded their over the top performances mixed with a theatrical style of electro and sexy disco tunes that immediately set Beijing’s music society abuzz.  Pet Conspiracy developed a live show that became a never before seen or heard blend of 80’s Chinese Disco, 30’s German Cabaret, and 21st Century Electro.

JAMAICA (FRA) 23h00
‘No Problem’ positively erupts out of the stereo as opener ‘Cross The Fader’,  and debut single ‘I Think I Like U 2’  set the tone with  sleek melodies, rousing guitar riffs and crisp bass grooves. Jamaica stride through the album’s 11 tracks, slowing down the pace ever slightly on ‘Gentleman’ where the duo showcase their perfectly honed ‘Songs in the Key of Life’ melodies around Love Unlimited strings in a more hushed style. Closing the album with the climatic ‘When Do You Wanna Stop Working’, Jamaica end ‘No Problem’ the same way they started it, explosively.

BONAPARTE (CH) 24h00
An oversized rabbit is hunted by a masked reporter. A billycock wearing man is broiling wieners with a Bunsen burner. The wurst itself is supplied and held by a stripper wearing a dirndl dress. At the boundaries of the stage, a midget who has mistaken a red plastic lobster for a bow tie, keeps manically staring at the audience. A girl, who is reminiscent of a replicant from Blade Runner, bites a Wilhelm Tell- esque apple, seconds later, she pets the bald head a half-naked, disco-ball- boneheaded stripper. Next to the dancers, a female fire breather takes a first zip.Down in the audience, men and women of free will, are wearing plushy bunny ears and dancing themselves to ecstasy. “Anti Anti!”, the mob is shouting frenetically to the blood and water sweating garage rock of a 4 piece band, who is exploiting pretty much anything from Delta Blues, to Stones- and Zep-riffs to Berlin-style electro-synth-octave-basslines.
