Beijing's punk music scene bursts into Sydney

The one-night only Sound Kapital event brings the energy of Beijing's underground music scene to Sydney's Carriageworks as part of the City of Sydney's 2012 Chinese New Year Festivities.

Featuring live performances by three of Beijing's most explosive underground cult bands, AV Okubo, Xiao He and PK14, Sound Kapital offers a taste of the 'innovative orgy gripping Beijing's music underground'.

Works by photographer Matthew Niederhauser will be projected onto the walls and ceiling at the event, sourced from his acclaimed book Sound Kapital that documents the emerging contemporary Chinese punk scene.
