What it’s about. In 2009, Sham 69 became the first punk rock band to tour China. Just as the ‘70s British icons were attempting to mount a comeback, Chinese punk singer, tour manager and promoter Ray Yao lured them for two weeks of chaos in an enthusiastic but ever-changing country. With locals No Name as their supports, and former Chumbawamba lead singer turned director Dunstan Bruce capturing their every move, the trip provided more than just an unlikely introduction to the modern music scene. Met by excited new fans screaming “this band is gorgeous!”, they tapped into the enduring, uniting nature of punk anthems
