Chinese post-punk band Re-TROS (Rebuilding the Rights of Statues) recently announced their North American tour with co-headliner Liars. Kicking off in late March, the eight-stop tour will start in New York, loop across the continent, and wrap up in Chicago.
Raised by Nanjing intellectuals, Rebuilding The Rights Of Statues frontman Hua Dong was exposed to rock music at an early age and began writing songs and playing instruments in his teens. After a few years spent studying abroad in Germany, he returned to Nanjing where he began drumming for seminal Chinese rockers PK14. It was in the Nanjing underground music scene that Hua Dong met bassist Liu Min, who had been playing in bands around town. The pair eventually drifted to Beijing in 2003, where they were introduced to drummer Ma Hui – Hua Dong switched to guitar, and Rebuilding The Rights Of Statues was born. The trio soon began electrifying Beijing audiences with their darkly riveting, explosive performances.
