Chinese Indie Bands?

[sell veg]

Does anyone know any good Chinese bands? not by Chinese standards... but by global standards, yknow? really any type of music, electronic, rock, hip hop, whatever. I've always thought some hip hop or electronic music with erhus and shit would sound pretty sweet.

nice link..

that chick band Cherry Boom sounds wack. It's nice to see artists playing instruments in taiwan.. but they seriously sound like the mainstream-pop-jolin-S.H.E. shit

yah, not a fan. however, some of the earlier stuff that's posted is pretty good. for some reason a lot of it sounds a little beachy boys...

la petite nurse and raven have a good sound.
