Take some yogurt, cheap pantyhose, balloons and plum wine. Add to a room with three girls from Kunming and three girls from New Zealand. Shake and serve cold. When the only seemingly logical escape from your anxiety is to take a train 1000km in the opposite direction, you know it's dark. That's what IContinue reading "South Acid Mimi and Lady Lazer Light Unleash “NUNUDUGU” Music Video"

Self-organised, self-aware, self-destructive, this is XI’ER.
朋友们好 早在五月，我收到朋友一笑的微信说她带着“喜儿”在成都和重庆演出的想法。“喜儿”是三位女巫般的姑娘的合成器电子乐队南方酸性咪咪的朋克根源乐队。 What up fam Back in May, I got a message from my friend Yixiao about coming to play in Chengdu and Chongqing with XI'ER, the predecessor punk band to electronic witch-synth trio South Acid MiMi. When I first met Yixiao, Shishi and Weilin in 2015, I’d already been indoctrinated into the cult of South Acid Mimi,Continue reading "Self-organised, self-aware, self-destructive, this is XI’ER."

Not usually one to broadcast the weather, but the torrential storm that struck Chengdu this afternoon is one for the record books.

Kiwese on Radio New Zealand
This morning I was interviewed by Jesse Mulligan at Radio New Zealand, you can hear the whole thing here: The Expats: Kristen Ng in Chengdu, China. Though the word "expat" kind of makes me cringe. It brings to mind rich white people who live in private compounds, send their children to expensive international schools and only socialise with otherContinue reading "Kiwese on Radio New Zealand"
