This year, Giving a Beat Charity Concert 2017 will be held at Beijing’s newest premier music venue, Yue Space, conveniently located in the heart of Beijing at Beixinqiao. Proceeds from the charity concert will be donated again to Bethel China; an amazing foreign-run charity organization that helps fund medical and educational needs for visually impaired children in and around Beijing. Last year’s event raised just under 10,000 RMB and this year we are hoping to double those numbers.
Just like last year, Giving a Beat has teamed up with some great businesses popular with the expat community to raffle off some amazing prizes. Raffle tickets will be sold throughout the night and 100% of all the raffle ticket money will be donated to Bethel China. There will be tons of awesome merchandise from the bands and Giving a Beat on sale as well and that money too will be donated to the charity organization. Vedett Beer has also teamed up with Giving a Beat to offer some great drink deals to those buying raffle tickets.
This is going to be the expat music event of the summer so don’t miss out! Pre-Sale tickets are on sale now for only 80 RMB and tickets at the door will be 100 RMB so make sure to buy your tickets now. It’s incredibly easy to purchase tickets by just scanning the QR code, purchasing tickets directly at the venue, or contacting Giving a Beat directly. After the live music finishes, attendees will be able to continue the party and dance the rest of the night away to the tunes of DJ JELLIS who will be spinning funky grooves all night long.

這是一支名字很長的樂隊也是是全京城最受好評的大樂隊，演繹令人印象深刻的經典Soul/RnB(靈歌/節奏布魯斯)音樂。隊長Tavey獨特的」Al Green-Esque」的歌唱，外加多隻管樂和堅如磐石的節奏組樂器，他們將為你帶來充滿力量的放克之夜！
Once upon a VA Bar jam session back in 2012, four funky friends started making sweet music together. It wasn’t long before they realized that their grooves were too tight not to start a band. From there, Tavey Lean & the Solid Gold Dream Machine was born. Now boasting an impressive 8 members and an even more impressive repertoire of classic soul and R&B cover songs, 「Solid Gold」 brings to their audience the power of Tavey’s 「Al Greenesque」 vocals, a 3-piece horn section, and a rock-solid rhythm section. Due to the transient nature of their beloved Beijing, the band has seen a few different line ups over the years, but all came together to create the distinctive sound which makes Solid Gold a unique act in the Beijing nightlife today. With the eponymous Tavey Lean on Vocals, the band’s rock solid lineup includes Itay Kochva (Tenor Sax), Daniel Rothwell (Trombone), RC Granger (Trumpet), Bruno Lucas (Keys), Richard Barnes (Guitar), Ryan Brown (Bass) and Marco Brun del Re (drums). From the beginning, Solid Gold has been committed to bringing the funk and sweet soul to the four corners of Beijing and beyond. Solid Gold is the only cover band on the bill but their choice of cover songs will take you back and make you remember all those familiar funky tunes.
Disaster Chat
Disaster Chat 樂隊是成立於2013年北京新晉的原創搖 滾樂隊。清新的流⾏行元素結合Ambient 搖滾旋律，伴隨清脆 穿透的演唱，音樂酣暢淋漓 。樂隊成員來⾃自英國和美國， 但是在中國⽣生活背景成就了他們極具娛樂精神的現場表演。 如果你在北京眼花繚亂的搖滾樂⾥裡迷失了⽅方向，這個目前備 受矚目的樂隊會讓你眼前一亮。
By far one of Beijing’s best original bands on the scene today. Fresh pop sounds mixed with ambient rock melodies and cranking breakdowns marks the pleasantries any ears will experience when indulging some DC bliss. Their mix of Chinese and English tunes creates the perfect atmosphere for today’s China rock audience and they never leave their fans disappointed. If you are looking for something other than Beijing’s endless sea of cover bands then Disaster Chat is the band for you. Led by Jesse Emmanuel (vocals/bass) and backed by Joe Bruce (guitar), Joe Harvey (guitar), and Justin Emmanuel (drums), Disaster Chat opened the Giving a Beat Charity Show 2016 last year and we are more than excited to see them in action again. Not only is Disaster Chat a fun and awesome band, the band members themselves are some of the most down to earth, ego-free individuals in the music scene today.
