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

Yao Yang from Saffron’s Spring Salad

Saffron Owner/Head Chef Yao Yang

Meet Gung Ho’s Spring Celebrity Chef Yao Yang!

Yao Yang is a very busy man. Not only is he the star of hit TV show “Yao Yang in my Kitchen”, he’s also the owner and head chef of hip hutong hotspot Saffron in Wudaoying and a talented guitarist to boot! Somehow he managed to find the time to help us come up with some new items for our Spring menu including a new signature salad! In his own words:

“For the Spring salad, I just thought about the colors changing and it came to me. I used red radish and courgette flowers to give it a colorful Spring feel. It’s an Asian-fusion style salad, dressed with a red wine and soy sauce vinaigrette. I hope everyone likes it!”

Moar!

Yao Yang also helped us with a new Cantonese-style BBQ sauce for our wings and a great Gourmet Pita Platter, featuring homemade hummus, pesto and duck liver pate dips! We also have a BBQ chicken pizza coming and… ribs! Mmm… ribs.

Gung Ho’s new Spring menu launches this Friday!

WAB Idol goes Gung Ho!

Ashley Cheng, winner of the 2012 WAB Idol!

Congratulations to Ashley Cheng, winner of the 2012 WAB Idol (and Gung Ho! fan), for her rendition of Adele’s “Someone Like You”

Entering it’s 7th year (!), the Western Academy of Beijing’s annual WAB Idol is a combined middle school/high school talent show completely organized by student run organization ‘Friday Night Lites”.

This year’s event was held on campus last Friday the 23rd of March, and was co-sponsored (for the second year on a row) by Gung Ho! Pizza! Maybe next year we’ll get a team together and enter!

For more information on the awesome WAB school, check out their website here. They also have a media page, so hopefully they’ll stick up Ashley’s winning performance there so we can all check it out!

Below is awesome Gung Ho! Girl Clara handing out pizzas at WAB with a couple of very well-dressed students.

Women’s Day Tomorrow!

Happy Women’s Day!

So for Women’s Day we wanted to make another video but Sammi and Clara decided  they would exercise their Women’s Day Free Pass and… not. So Wynn and I had to do it instead. If anything is going to make you appreciate the amazing women in our lives this Women’s Day, this video certainly will.

Women’s Day Special!

Be a woman and order a pizza, salad or pasta this Women’s Day (March 8) and get two egg tarts free! (Limit one per order)

Weekly Wrapup

Verne Harnish at Gung Ho HQ

Left to Right: Skott Taylor from New Seed Creative Consulting, Verne Harnish “The Growth Guy”, Josh Lally from our sister company Lush/Pyro, John O and myself from Gung Ho!

Verne Harnish, the “Growth Guy” and author of the Rockefeller Habits has been in town this week to give another seminar. After the show, Michael Wester, Grand Poobah of the Entrepreneurs Organization’s Beijing Chapter (and CEO of The Beijinger) managed to hijack his car and bring him (along with the rest of the EO guys) to Gung Ho HQ for a looksee. Verne Harnish has been a great inspiration to our company – he’s a bloody marvel on stage –  and it was great to show him how many of his tools we put to use.

You can’t tell because I Photoshopped the hell out of myself but I’m quite drunk. Cheers to Campbell Thompson from the Wine Republic! And thanks for Dominic from Plastered 8 for the custom tees!! Caption: “That’s just the light bleed!”
