Born in 1969, Dou Wei was once the lead singer of the Panthers. He left the band in 1992 at its peak. Before long, Dou hit a lonely road, and his new inspiration gradually materialized.

His album "Black Dreams", with shadowy music, aimed to bring dreams to life by using special sound effects to give a hallucinatory effect.

Earliest Punk He Yong

He Yong is known as the pioneer of punk music in China. He signed with Rolling Stone's Magic Stone Company, together with rockers Dou Wei and Zhang Chu. Known as "the Magic Stone Big Three," they represented the height of China's rock and roll in the 1990s.

But his music rushed too far too fast for fans whose ears were slow to follow. His career quickly went downhill since  1996.

Xu Wei
--That Year, You Are That Young

Xu Wei, born in Xi'an in 1969, began to play guitar while he was still a high school student. Before his rise to fame, Xu was constantly short of money, but unflinchingly pursued his rock dream. His earliest songs are truthful expressions of the oppressive conditions he lived in, while music in the second stage demonstrates the contradictions in his mind and life. His latest works are much more peaceful and tranquil.

Music is one of the easiest ways to know a city and its life. But which city deserves a song? It depends on whether it can trigger the tenderest sentiments.
