Biography
Future Orients (formerly The Eat) is a four-piece rock band from Beijing, China. They formed in the tumult of 2012, when their spiritual home, legendary rock dive D-22, was on its last legs. They started gigging regularly in the following years at D-22's reincarnation, XP, fusing influence from UK indie stalwarts Foals and Mogwai with a homegrown, Beijing take on psychedelic freakout rock, dance punk, and kosmische electronica to present their own sonic brew: not quite pretty, but infectious; not quite crazy, but undeniably intense.
Future Orients made their noise heard in Beijing in 2015, stepping out into the limelight in a primetime opening slot for kindred spirits Chui Wan in June. Since then they've signed with Beijing's premiere indie rock label, Maybe Mars, and are slated to record their debut album with Beijing art rock godfather Yang Haisong in January.
Future Orients are:
Ayong 阿勇: vocals, guitar
