Full Misandao Performance @ The Sound Stage Music Awards '13
WARNING: NSFW (NOT SAFE FOR WORK). CONTAINS FULL FRONTAL MALE NUDITY.
"What is fucking punk? You do what you want."
On September 6th, 2013, The Sound Stage, a bilingual state-media program about underground Chinese music, put on a local music awards show at the Yugongyishan venue in Beijing, China.
The fifth and second-to-last band to perform that evening was Misandao (Simplified Chinese: 蜜三刀), an Oi! Punk band from Beijing. They have been the subject of numerous documentaries about underground music in China, and have built quite a following over the past decade, even having written a theme song for the Beijing Soccer Team.
During their set in the middle of their performance of "Fucking Cops," a fan made his way to the stage and stripped completely naked. He caroused on stage, naked, for over two minutes. He was forcibly removed, only to return to the stage, for a total of three times before he was eventually evicted from the venue. Misandao continued to perform for thirteen more minutes before they were asked to stop.
This incident is notable for many reasons:
First, most obviously, is that this happened in the People's Republic of China, where freedom of speech is severely limited by the government.
The second is that the band, with brazen contempt for the authorities, had already been ranting about violent urban security forces (Chengguan) as well as insulting the police frequently throughout their set. The singer, Lei Jun, was even wearing a shirt that had the acronym "A.C.A.B." emblazoned on the front, which stands for ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS (this slogan was fully written out on the back of his shirt). They led the crowd in chanting "A.C.A.B" in the lead up to their performance of "Fucking Cops."
Third, this all-ages public concert had been put on by a Communist party state-media organ that had absolutely no knowledge that this stunt was going to occur. (Misandao also insists that this was not planned and that they also had no prior knowledge of the stunt, although they did seem to condone it at the time.) In hindsight, it is quite unbelievable that this concert was even approved and allowed to occur in the first place.
Having previously been guests on The Sound Stage program before where they were asked to comply with censorship regulations, it was the fault of the awards show organizer to assume that Misandao would continue to be on their best behavior during the live concert event.
Misandao received the award for Best Punk at this event. They were presented their award just before their performance.
The singer, Lei Jun, also the founder of the Beijing Punk Festival, passed away this year on May 6th, 2015 from a heart attack. He was 40 years old.
Misandao was the subject of one of the early The Sound Stage episodes:
