The Fever Machine is a stoner rock trio based in Shanghai.

Formed in 2010, The Fever Machine has toured extensively around China, playing their distinct brand of hard, psychedelic rock at the country's largest music festivals and club venues.

After releasing their debut LP Living In Oblivion in 2011, and the ensuing "Tour of the Americas" to Quito, Ecuador, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, The Fever Machine is now set to unveil their latest recorded effort, La Chupacabra, a 7" vinyl-only release available on Beijing's Genjing Records.

Tracked in Shanghai, mixed in Ecuador, and mastered at New York's West West Side Music by acclaimed engineer Alan Douches (Mastodon, Baroness, High on Fire), "La Chupacabra" showcases The Fever Machine at its peak.

A blend of swirling, distorted guitars, a machine gun bass attack, and heavy, staccato drums, "La Chupacabra" is capped with a memorable vocal melody and hook that sees The Fever Machine packing all their progressive elements into a tight, pop-friendly package.

The Fever Machine will celebrate the release of La Chupacabra with a pair of shows in Beijing and Shanghai in November and December 2012 respectively.

The 88's are an international band with influences of Hard Rock, Progressive Rock, Funk and Latin music.
They will be releasing a second EP end of this year and  touring in Europe, Asia and Australia in 2014.

The band combines the raw energy and dynamic charisma of Pheel, the rock and latin guitar influences of Luis and the hard rock and funk drumming of Joe.

Luis, Pheel and Joe first met on stage during a jam session in 2009, and the guys continued jamming regularly. Audiences were left in no doubt of their ability to rock, but the idea of starting a band was delayed due to conflicts in their busy schedule. In 2011, that idea came to fruition and Luis decided to write songs for an original band. He had a clear agenda: to write music that caputred the intensity and chemistry of the band live, and in the studio. With his musical ideas in place and with Pheel’s lyrics and vocal melodies, the band came together to record their demo. 5 original tracks were arranged, produced, mixed and mastered by Luis. This is how The 88's were born.

In the studio and in live performance, The 88’s are sometimes joined by special guest vocalist Lola. The beautiful track “Shanghai Balada“ was a collaboration between her and vocalist Pheel. Her singing style at times will remind the listener of great artists such as Janis Joplin, and neo-soul artists like Erykah Badu.

The 88's play shows that rock audiences. From the first note, to the final "thank you", The 88's energize and inspire!
