history

Formed 1999 in Harbin by frontman Liang Long (梁龙). Their sound fuses Northeastern 二人转 (Errenzhuan) folk theater with rock, creating a uniquely Chinese style often described as 'rock with a Northeastern country accent'. Liang Long performs in flamboyant androgynous stage costumes. 《乐队的夏天》 season 2 reintroduced them to a national audience in 2020.
