The Exec Director of the Tennis Masters Cup, Michael Luevano has a band, Studio 188.
They are a group of ex-pats that live in Shanghai and they play some great old rock and roll...
As luck would have it, they were playing on Saturday night in a bar outside Shanghai called The Thirsty Monk...
They had chartered a bus to bring people out to the bar- a sure way to make sure of a full house for the band to play to.
And they had an awsome playlist- CCR, Eagles, ZZ Top, the Doors...
The joint was jumping!
A good time was had by all... If you have the opportunity to see Studio 188- make the time. Tell 'em Uncle Jay sent you...
After the concert I was hanging out with Big Dan Brady- a ten-year ex-pat in Shanghai. We hit a couple clubs, including an old church that until recently was a nightclub but is currently the location of a rather transient and very clandestine poker game. I met a few other characters, then we split out and got a taste of the local nightlife on Maoming Rd. For the western crowd (not Country and Western, butthead...) try Plan B, at the foot of Maoming Lu. Again, tell 'em Uncle Jay sent you.
TBG Out (and about)-
