Chinese Post Rock Fest

2006-09-18 15:02:37 CRIENGLISH.com

Welcome back. And now, the last post-rock band we'll cover today is Grace Latecomer, from Suzhou in Jiangsu Province. Here, a young man named Tian Xin has tried to make a one-man-band legend by starting his own personal post-rock band Grace Latecomer. He alone is responsible for all of the instruments and electronic sound effects found in the band's music. Now, let's check out one of the songs from his self-released EP. This song's entitled "82 Umbrellas."

This is the song "82 Umbrellas" from the previous noise maniac Tian Xin's one-man-band Grace Latecomer. About one year ago, Grace Latecomer released its first EP. It was available in both a limited CD-R format, and via free download at the band's official website, that is, www.rocksuzhou.com. One thing that must give Tian Xin inspiration to keep doing what he's doing is that the website Wikipedia has included Grace Latecomer in its list of post-rock bands, making them the first post-rock band from China on the list. In March of this year, Tian Xin already started to write new songs for his next collection of works. He wishes to cooperate with other musicians and create a relatively full lineup for his band. In this way, he hopes to be able to play his music for live audiences who enjoy Grace Latecomer's specific blend of post-rock.
