So, remember that Superband album I supposedly bought on my way out of China in June? Yeah, it was not so much a real Superband album as it was a dodgy set of random songs from each of the four guys’ previous careers that was being sold like a real album in the normally reliable Xinhua bookstore. I confess I suspect that the publisher did not have full copyright to publish this either, though of course it is China, so who knows. But still, quite annoying.
Here’s good news, though, for everyone (like me) so excited about a REAL Superband album that you’ve taken to inadvertently buying knock-offs, the guys still promise the album is coming. And soonish, though I’m still not sure if there’s a date set. In the meantime, they’ll be interviewed on Sina on the 11th. I just learned they’re going to be continuing the tour when I get back to China in September… I might just need to see them live one more time. You know, just to get the full experience.
