Next Performance: 10:30pm Friday 29th January (Free B4 9:30pm / 20 RMB after)
Da Bi Zi (大鼻子) are a French hip hop outfit based in Beijing, who perform hiphop and jazz acoustic songs with a Chinese twist incorporating many traditional Chinese instruments. They also bring to the stage outlandish costumes, theatrical performances and a unique style that always impresses.
The Band is composed of 6 members, a bassist form France, guitarist from China, an Erhu (二胡) performer from Taiwan (she also sings Jazz tracks), a Yangqin (扬琴) player from China, a DJ from the USA, and an MC from France. This original mix of classic instruments (Guitar/Bass) and Chinese traditional ones (Erhu/Yangqin) creates a really different Hip Hop/Jazz sound. Combine that with a beautiful Taiwanese voice, and a crazy French MC who uses 3 languages (English, Chinese and French) and you have the makings for a great evening of live music.
Here is a music video from their online hit “Pekin” in French (with English subitles):

In addition to our new Australian beers, we have also added two American beers to our drinks list.
Dead Guy Ale
Silver Medal at World Beer Championships 2005-2006
Dead Guy Ale was originally created in the early 1990’s to celebrate the Mayan Day of the Dead for a single bar in Oregon. It proved so popular that it became a permanent member of Rogue’s line-up and remains one of their most celebrated beers, recognized across the West Coast because of its distinctive label. Dead Guy is a German-style Maibock, deep honey in color with a malty aroma, rich hearty flavor and a well-balanced finish.

Acme Pale Ale

An easy-drinking, sooth pale ale. North Coast’s Acme California Pale Ale offers an excellent introduction to craft beers.

The beautiful artwork on the label is reminiscent of the time the beer premiered in the 19th century.
