MIDI Punks

Punk rockers at Beijing's MIDI festival.

Now in colour (I preferred the black and white version but I would be interested to see what people think...)

This is officially three times the amount of punks I saw during all of my time spent in Beijing.

It's like 1982 all over again!

@ Eric Flexyourhead What happened 1982?

@marcus_Z: what happened in 1982? A lot in the world of punk rock/hardcore... and these guys look like they were lifted straight off the back cover of a record by one of those spikey-haired UK punk bands circa '82. ;)

Where was that festival?

China Chas says:

Arndsan: Funny you say that - they certainly looked the part but we saw them later in the moshpit and they seemed rather timid!

KonradS: It was the MIDI festival in Haidian, Beijing. It takes place every May holiday and is probably China's best rock festival.

@ +graemetric- it sounds like something my mom said: you are not young anymore when people start saying "you look so young!".

in 1982 I still hadn't hair, but if I had had them I would combed them in that way.

.... conditional is still too hard for my head!
