NOVA HEART EP Release Tickets!

Win free tickets to Nova Heart’s EP release party this Friday!

Rock Goddess and Indie Institution Helen Feng (Pet Conspiracy, Free the Birds, Ziyo) has a brand new bag and it’s dropping at Yugong Yishan this Friday. Born in an Istanbul Alley and nursed by Italian Disco Cowboys in Rome, and already a veteran of SXSW, the Zurich Street Parade and Canadian Music Week – all before releasing a single track – Nova Heart will probably blow your socks off. So remember to bring an extra pair. I like these ones. Supported by Beijing’s indie wunderkinder Residence A, new not to be missed experimental pop group Fuzzy Mood, and FakeLoveMusic´s own jet setting DJ Metro Tokyo, expect one of the most memorable shows of the season.

And we’ve got a pair of tickets to giveaway! To win, just tell us in the comments what kind of pizza would befit a Rock Goddess. You can also enter on our Facebook Page if you’d like to give your friends the chance to praise/judge your answer. Winners will be notified by email on Friday noon!

Tickets:

  • 80 RMB door  60 RMB presale
  • 50 RMB student presale

Time/Place:

  • Yungong Yishan
  • Friday, April 27
  • 9:00 pm to 1:00 am

GHP Bike Safety Training with Ines Brunn

BMX Bandit!

At Gung Ho! Pizza we believe that when riding around Beijing’s dangerous roads safety comes first.

So we got renowned extreme bikie Ines Brunn to show us what not to do.

Don’t try this at home!

Ines Brunn has been riding competitively for over 20 years and owns a fixed-wheel bike and juggling store in Wudaoying Hutong called Natooke. She’s performed all over the world, given a TEDx Talk and even made dumplings while riding on CCTV! Check out her blog here!

2012 Charity Bachelor Auction Wrapup

Gung Ho! Bachelor Jade!

Who will get the Final Rose? Or, as they say in Beijing, “Mai hua!”

So the Bachelor & Bachelorette Charity Auction last Friday was a massive success, packing out both floors of the Hilton’s Zeta Bar with hopeful (and cashed up) singletons and raising nearly 20,000rmb for orphan charities Magic Hospital and Morning Tears. A great time was had by all with even the empty-handed getting to dance the night away to the Beijing Beatles.

And what about our own Jade Gray? Well, JG broke the auction limit in true Gung Ho! style and ultimately went for the princely sum of 3,500rmb!

If you’d like to know how he managed this impressive feat, check out Beijing Boyce’s far more detailed wrap-up here.

Seriously. Check it out.

I don't get off my bike for less than 3,500rmb

GHP-TV: Episode III – Gung Harder!

Watch the final climactic episode of the Two-Girl Trilogy!

Hopefully these little videos are as much to watch as they were to shoot – because they were a lot of fun to shoot! One of my most memorable uh, memories was probably standing outside my door with a huge fan and a big handful of crushed rice crispies. And the second was probably the time I was supposed to pour a bucket of water on Clara’s head but missed. From 10 inches away. Pretty funny. Take it again!!

Big thanks to my bro Handsome Rich for guest starring. He was very obliging and patient, though he refused take his shirt off. One at a time, ladies.

LumDimSum behind the scenes at GHP!

Check out this awesome review of GHP: Lido courtesy of Kristen Lum!

I won’t lie. I was supposed to write a behind the scenes preview myself but hey, Kristen Lum of LumDimSum.com has done better than I ever could so I’m re-posting it. Welcome to the internet.

So take a Kristen’s Eye View of the brand spankin’ new Gung Ho! Lido HQ – all four majestically flour covered floors – from the central kitchen in the basement to the office and the Gung Ho! training center on the top floor!

Beijing Boyce

Beijing Boyce’s Summer House Party Competition

Win 10 Gung Ho! pizzas and 2 cases of Vedett White!

Okay, so I’m pretty sure you all know who Jim ‘Beijing’ Boyce is. Master of the blogosphere and king of the twitterati, his blog has been the last – and most often the first – word on Beijing’s ever burgeoning bar and restaurant scene. Seriously. I used to hear where media editors gave bonuses for scooping him, large ones too ’cause they knew their money was safe.

Kristen Lum

Kristen Lum goes Gung Ho!

Check out this awesome review from fabulous babe-about-town Kristen Lum on her blog LumDimSum!

No, apparently the blog isn’t about dim sum, but a chance for us hoi polloi to catch a glimpse of the glamorous side of Beijing. In her own words:

I decided to create LumDimSum to share my experiences (both personal and work related) with family & friends abroad, along with anyone interested in the life I live as a PR socialite in Beijing. As a newly graduated, ABC living in Beijing, my life has taken off on a path of its own and my goals and aspirations have morphed, grown, and leapt in ways I never expected or imagined.

And PS Kristen, anytime you have a spare +1, why yes, I would love to go.
