Michael Pettis’s club XP will welcome Shanghai’s Paris Pairs tomorrow night, described by our music contributor as a “rad… nowave / shitrock duo.” If you know what that means, you’ll enjoy the show. They’re joined by Gum Bleed, 16mins and Baby Formula. The song is the first single from Paris Pairs’s double vinyl album If This Cockroach Doesn’t Die, I Will, which we’re told is about people in the Shanghai music industry, and “really funny — if you know who he’s singing about.” Music video by Dani Grant. Tudou video for those in China after the jump.
