Filed under: Movies Fed up with the state of the recording industry, in 2006, Martin Atkins ( PiL , Pigface, Killing Joke , NIN ) traveled to downtown Beijing to find and collaborate with China's innovative, unknown and upcoming musicians.

Yang Haisong is the singer of Beijing post-punk band P.K. 14 and one of the leading figures in the fledgling Beijing underground music scene. His band plays two shows in L.A. this week with two other top Beijing bands—Carsick Cars and AV Okubo. These shows will be the first in California by any rock bands from Beijing.

Spinner recently spoke with frontman Yang Haisong about his band and [...]
