Red Rock by Jonathan Campbell
Rebellious, individualistic, and explosive, rock and roll seems incongruent with modern Chinese society. However, as the music has evolved from a Western import into something uniquely Chinese, it has been shaped by the nation's unique system and its relationship with the outside world. As it tracks the music's long journey from the Mao years to present day, this account considers the people and the events that have created Chinese rock's identity. Including interviews with musicians, journalists, and industry experts, this book demonstrates that Chinese rock may be ready to smash its guitars on the global stage.As a drummer, writer, and promoter, Jonathan Campbell immersed himself in China's rock scene. He has introduced Chinese artists to the international scene as well as bringing international bands to China. His work has featured in the Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, and South China Morning Post, among other publications. He currently resides in Toronto, Ontario.
