About this gig

FORM Presents:CHINESE AMERICAN BEAR

Chinese American Bear is a lighthearted and quirky mandopop duo from Seattle, creating fun & eclectic bilingual English/Chinese ear candy. Comprised of Anne Tong and Bryce Barsten, the married couple creates groovy, and infectiously fun tunes in their home studio together. Their sound, resulting from the intersection of Barsten’s fondness for MGMT, The Flaming Lips, Pond, and Sly Stone, with Tong’s classical piano training and love for all things pop (Taylor Swift, Jonas Brothers), have allowed them to carve out their own brand of indelible indie pop. + support

Venue: The Hope & Ruin, Brighton and Hove
