Chinese band rocks on North America debut
From the rehearsal room of an urban village in Kunming, Yunnan province, to live house tours across multiple cities in North America, the rock band Mayuan Poet has spent 16 years on the journey.
As they tour from the "live music capital of the world", Austin, Texas, to Los Angeles and San Francisco, and the "home of grunge music", Seattle, to the East Coast cities of New York and Boston, the band made its debut tour series in the US, attracting thousands of fans.
"Feeling a bit more nervous, with a touch more anticipation," the 38-year-old lead singer of the band, stage name "Ku Guo", told China Daily. He said he enjoyed the stage and the interactions with his overseas audiences. "This is the birthplace of rock and indie music; it feels like bringing our original music back to the roots."
