there is a guy named Cuijian,and chinese rock came out cause of him in 1980.but he didn't often perform now days,sometimes he goes to a place named Jazz club near the Nong zhan guan.

also there are some bars,you can go to have a look,there are some rock artists,but don't know how good they are.

rock in china is not like rock in western country at all----.

here are some places you can go-

1 What bar_

2 highland bar

3 get lucky bar.

you can find their addresses in That's beijing magazine.

My favorite yaogun bands and artists include Cui Jian, Zi Yue, Baojia Street no. 43, Tang Dynasty .. well there are many. I would pretty much recommend all the albums released from the ones mentioned 8)

oh well, here's a short list:

Cui Jian - Rock'n'roll on a new long march / Nothing to my name

Cui Jian - Balls under the red flag

Tang Dynasty -Tang Dynasty

Tang Dynasty - Epic

Zi Yue - Chapter One

to mention a few :) But i think it depends on what kind of rock music you like..

www.yesasia.com is one place to find chinese rock, and as i recall niubi here has a nice list of places where to find them, just check http://www.niubi.com/shop/index.html

Cuijian rocks. definitely my favorite.

after 500 years, none of those Hongkong pop puppets will be remembered, but Cuijian's music will be passed on forever.

One of his songs in the latest album-- the Power of the Powerless

时代的晚上

没有新的语言 也没有新的方式

没有新的力量能够表达新的感情

不是什么痛苦 也不是天生爱较劲

不过是积压已久的一些本能的反应

情况太复杂了 现实太残酷了

谁知道忍受的极限到了会是什么样的结果

请摸着我的手吧 我孤独的姑娘

检查一下我的心理的病是否和你的一样

不是谈论政治 可还是有点慌张

可能是因为过去的精神压力如今还没得到释放

别看我在微笑 也别觉得我轻松

我回家单独严肃时才会真的感到忧伤

我的心在疼痛 象童年的委屈

却不是那么简单也不是那么容易

请摸着我的手吧 我温柔的姑娘

是不是我越软弱越象你的情人儿

噢----

请看着我的眼睛 你不要改变方向

不要因为我太激动而要开始感到紧张

把那只手也给我 把它放在那我的心上

感觉一下我的心跳是否是否还有力量

你的小手冰凉 象你的眼神一样

我感到你身上也有力量却没有使出的地方

请摸着我的手吧 我坚强的姑娘

也许你比我更敏感更有话要讲

你会相信我吗 你会依靠我吗

你是否能够控制得住我如果我疯了

你无所事事吗 你需要震撼吗

可是我们生活的这辈子有太多的事还不能干呐

行为太缓慢了 意识太落后了

眼前我们能够做的事只是肉体上需要的

请摸着我的手吧 我美丽的姑娘

让我安慰你度过这时代的晚上

噢----

There's a guy called Wang Feng 王锋 (or 峰?)who most of my Chinese friends have never heard of. His album 爱是一颗幸福的子弹 (ai shi yi ke xingfude zidan) is excellent, but some people say he's sold out and gone too poppy recently.

For more alternative stuff you could try Beng 泵
