S.T.D. 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY HALLOWEEN PARTY (SH)

S.T.D. 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY HALLOWEEN PARTY

“big things have small beginnings” – David

S.T.D. is celebrating five years of bringing some of the best bands, djs and producers to little ol’ Shanghai. In those five years we’ve partied with acts that include the likes of Ratatat, Boys Noize, Birdy Nam Nam, Tricky, Digitalism, Fucked Up, Shonen Knife, Does It Offend You, Yeah?, Sham 69, HEALTH, Shigeto, Zombie Nation and Is Tropical to name but a few. Add to this list dozens of Chinese bands which were able to find their feet or strut their stuff at an S.T.D. show over the years. We’ve also partied in lighthouses, shopping centres at night, rooftops, warehouses with a tree growing through it and many more throughout China.

Naturally, we are going to celebrate in total S.T.D. style with a line up worthy to be regarded as a mini festival. Noise makers on our two stages include Surkin (Marble Players, France), Strip Steve (Boys Noize Records, France), Queen Sea Big Shark (BJ), Sulumi (BJ), Zalvia-D (BJ) and local acts R3, Linfeng, Ado8, El’se, Downstate, LON, Drunk Monk, Tsuzing and DJ Zammo. We also have visual installations from VJs Cobo, Dara.S, 绵羊and *LLND, limited screenprints from Idle Beats
up for grabs, freshly printed S.T.D. shirts designed by Wejun (Guaili front woman) and S.T.D. sticker sheets designed by Jellymon too.

If there is one party during your existence in Shanghai that you can’t miss…this is it. BUT there’s one more small thing…it’s going to be Halloween. That time of year where you cover yourself in blood and glitter and you sweat so hard that your make up is dripping on to someone else…and they love it. Well, we encourage it all. Come in costume, throw down and show us what you got. Prizes will be given out all night.

Oh right, the location….well, it’s a secret for now. But on Thursday the 18^th of October, we’ll be announcing the location via wearestd.com / weibo.com/stdshanghai / smartshanghai.com It’s an underground abandoned club we’ve found in the heart of the French Concession. Totally badass. Keep an eye on the mentioned websites to know where to go.

Here we are five years later Shanghai. Still giving you all the right reasons to smile in this amazing, fucked up, beautiful city. Come unprotected.
