Multinational Beijing band (French guitarist, Dutch bassist, Chinese drummer) The Amazing Insurance Salesmen just won the title of China Champions of this year's Global Battle of the Bands contest.
I just posted on this (including what is so far the only YouTube footage of them performing) over on The Barstool, and music blogger Beijing Daze has news and photos from last night's winning performance in Hong Kong.
The lads now go on to do battle in the Grand Final, scheduled for 26th February next year in Kuala Lumpur.
Jia you, baoxian chaoren!!
This is great news for the Beijing music scene.... and mandates another week of heavy drinking for friends and fans of the band....

I notice a certain... what's the delicate way to put this?... a certain undercurrent of readiness for heavy drinking, irrespective of an actual reason for it. (Of course, the main reason I notice it is that I share it, ha.)
P.S. Not to imply that this isn't an honest cause for celebration!
Well, life is hard in The Jing. Especially when we haven't been anywhere else for nearly 16 months, and the air has been unbreathable for the past two weeks.
Did you check out the video over on The Barstool? Personal affections aside, they are a remarkable band.
