Virgin Suicide China Tour 2018 in Beijing
Date: Nov 22 - 8:30 pm
Venue: Omni Space
The boys met at school in the town of Silkeborg, in western Denmark, before they relocated to Copenhagen and formed Virgin Suicide in 2012. Sporting matching normcore haircuts and turtlenecks, the band sings us the sweet finger banging lullaby of teenage playground love. The sunshine and palm trees are a perfect backdrop for the upbeat tune which has roots in 1960s rock with a touch of that slick attitude of 80s Brit jangle pop. Since the debut release of Virgin Suicide in 2015, the band has been invited to play various concerts and festivals, including the famous Roskilde Music Festival which gained them huge international attention. The singles Twistor Space and You Hate The Way I Feel received great success on Radio in Denmark and the UK, and both songs were later included in the band's second album Forever Trouble. If there is one word to try to summarize Virgin Suicide's music, it must be "sweet".
