Re-TROS, a Chinese post-punk rock band based in Beijing, will launch a tour in North America, as it strives for increased global recognition

Chinese band Re-TROS made its debut in the United Kingdom in May. On the first night, it performed at The Cavern, a small nightclub in Liverpool, where the Beatles used to play regularly.

Then three days later, it performed at the Liverpool Sound City Music Festival, a major annual event of Liverpool.

"We experienced a different atmosphere at each venue. It felt great," says Hua Dong, the band's lead vocalist and guitarist, adding that at the festival, he met some of his favorite musicians, such as John Cale, one of the founding members of the legendary rock band Velvet Underground.

"I saw many elder people wearing T-shirts with images of Velvet Underground at the festival - which is different from 皇冠体育app. In 皇冠体育app, outdoor music festivals are packed with young people."
