[:en]It’s July already! Half of this crazy, upside down year already gone, the best albums of the first half of the year already announced (RTJ 4 anyone?).
We were so lucky to get properly acquainted with you last month before Beijing locked down again.

The afternoon of June 6th saw the launch of Boy Toy (a collaborative brew between SUBS and Jing A), a documentary into the making of Boy Toy (including lots of background into one of Beijing’s most iconic bands) and a livestreamed performance from SUBS playing to a festival sized audience over at bilibili. It turns out that SUBS were too hot for the LongFuSi powers-that-be to handle – we are sorry that didn’t make it back for part 2 of that livestream, but our friendly neighbourhood boys-in-blue decided it was all a bit much. Punk Rock much?
Now we’re upping the ante!
In September, JingA and Wooozy are proud to announce that we will be traveling the length and breadth of the country with one of our favorite bands, Wuhan’s finest: Chinese Football. We will be playing 4 cities around post lockdown China in September and October, and there will be a brand new beer collaboration from JingA in advance of the tour. We are excited and honoured to work with one of China’s most exciting bands on both the shows and the beer.
Chinese Football formed in Wuhan in 2011, ironically naming themselves after the American emo band amid thoughts that American Football would never reunite and that Chinese Football the band would not last.
Fast forward 8 years and exactly 1 year ago, American and Chinese Football shared the stages in three different cities on a tour of China and Hong Kong, a moment that drew global media attention. Chinese Football fully deserve to stand toe to toes with their idols, with 1 critically acclaimed full length and 2 EPs.

[:zh]转眼已经七月!让人有些措手不及的 2020 也已经过去了一半,你心中的上半年最佳专辑已经决定了吗?上个月能在北京的疫情波动之前与大家见上一面真是幸运啊!

6 月 6 日一个阳光和煦的下午,我们一起见证了 SUBS 与京A的合酿新酒——男玩儿IPA的首次发布;一部深度记录男玩儿IPA酿造过程的记录片诞生(附加大量北京最具代表性乐队之一的背景故事);以及一场 SUBS 在B站的直播演出,屏幕前的观众足以让演出主舞台被围得水泄不通。尽管最终我们的友邻似乎觉得空气中的朋克浓度有点过高。
现在我们决定继续加码!
京A联合无解骄傲地宣布,这个 9 月,我们会与武汉最好的也是我们最爱的乐队之一 Chinese Football 踏上全国巡演的旅途。从 9 月到 10 月,我们的脚步会迈入后疫情时期的四座城市。与此同时,一款由京A联合 Chinese Football 合作酿制的啤酒会与大家见面!无论是四城巡演还是合酿啤酒,能与中国最令人振奋的乐队之一合作,我们的激动与骄傲溢于言表。
Chinese Football 在 2011 年成立于武汉,名字灵感来自 American Football,当时他们以为这支美国 EMO 乐队永远都不会重组,而 Chinese Football 乐队也不会一直存在下去。
时间快进 8 年,也就是正好 1 年前,American Football 与 Chinese Football 一起进行了一次横跨大陆、香港三座城市的联合巡演,不少国际媒体也将目光聚焦在这场历史性的“中美足球友谊赛”。拥有 1 张绝赞的全长专辑和 2 张 EP 的Chinese Football 绝对配得上与他们的偶像并肩站在一个舞台上。
让我们相约现场吧!欣赏着 10 年代最出色的国内乐队之一的演出,品尝一下京A与 Chinese Football 共同创作的最能代表这支来自中国“三大火炉”城市之一乐队的啤酒。 九月见啦!
