Formed in 2022, BITTER KISSES have quickly made a name for themselves with their high energy live shows and synth-infused blend of Dark Pop and Goth Rock.

Jokers Belief: Joker’s belief formed in 2015. Sammy Boi Wakefield (guitar) imagined a new rock, funk sound being brought to the music lovers of China. The band was rounded up from nights out, friends and previous musical projects. On a Wednesday night in 安定门, Jokers Belief was born. After months of rehearsals and writing sessions, the band was ready to blood itself on the Beijing live music scene. The band has continued to write their blend of emotional slow songs, funk inspired power jams, modern sounds with pop sensibilities.

Bad Actors: The Bad Actors, an electric new outfit here to bathe your mundane routine in a bright orange glow. Funky indie tunes meet devil-may-care rock. Red Hot Chill Peppers, The Police and Jimi Hendrix are found influencing pounding beats, expressive guitar lines and pop-y ear-worm melodies. Scissor-kicks and stage tricks are the MO of “kinetic” frontman Khalil. His voltaic stage presence helped win slots at Isle of Wight, Hillsborough festival, and a Riverside festival headline with previous projects. Whilst Jay’s laid-back drumming, matching his own personality in feel but not in introversion, forms the springboard for Khalil’s antics.
