Dein Perry's Tap Dogs in Shanghai

Date: Dec 13-16 - 7:30 pm

Venue: ET Space, Shanghai

Dein Perry's Tap Dogs returns to the stage with its trademark blend of live music and tap dance as you've never seen before. The New York Observer called it "Positively electrifying". Tap Dogs is set on a construction site in the steel work's town of Newcastle, just north of Sydney, Australia. There are 8 members of the Tap Dogs team: 6 dancers and 2 musicians, who combine their skills to create one incredible live theatrical performance. Performing against all challenges - whether in water, upside-down or jumping through scaffolding, the Tap Dogs move to the groove of their own beat as the team work together to bring the steelworks alive. Now, 18 years since its conception, Tap Dogs is still taking the world by storm. Part theater, part rock concert, part construction site, Tap Dogs continues to draw audiences with its unique theatrical performance, one that combines the strength and power of workmen with the precision and talent of tap dancing.

Ski Mask The Slump God

Date: Dec 8 - 10 pm

Venue: Arkham, Shanghai

Stokeley Clevon Goulbourne, known professionally as Ski Mask the Slump God (formerly stylized as $ki Mask "The Slump God"), is an American rapper and songwriter from Broward County, Florida. Originally well known and notable for his collaborations with XXXTentacion and their collective Members Only, he began to gain popularity in 2017 following the release of the Gold-certified songs "Catch Me Outside" and "Babywipe." He grew up listening to Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliott, Wu Tang Clan, and Lil Wayne, among other artists. He has said that his parents often played Jamaican music around the house. Goulbourne's father - a rapper who used the stage name "Sin City" - would often force his son to focus on writing his own rap music. In 2013, Goulbourne was sent to a juvenile detention center for possession of "around $10 worth of weed", where he met XXXTentacion. The two became friends and frequently collaborated on songs after being released from detention.
