This Saturday May 14 at Hotcat, local hardcore institutions THE LAST RESORT and BASTARDS OF IMPERIALISM host Shanghai metal newcomers HITOBASHIRA on their first incursion into Beijing territory. Marrying the aggression of thrash metal with the sort of self-indulgent grooviness that would have made even Fred Durst blush, HITOBASHIRA have made it their mission to make anger sexy again, one pair of hot pants at a time. Doors at 9:30; free entry.
