Carsick Cars has been played on NTS shows including Lavender Kite Audio Research Hour w/ Barnaby Bennett, with Zhong Nan Hai / 中南海 first played on 9 August 2021.

Carsick Cars (围城) were formed in 2005 in Beijing, China known in European countries for opening for Sonic Youth at their idols’ 2007 Beijing show. Influenced by mostly US & European bands like Sonic Youth, Velvet Underground, Suicide, Glenn Branca, the Stooges, and Joy Division they play in that same style. There's a certain fearlessness to their music, one that is born of the confidence of the talented: they are not afraid to write perfect, instantaneously catchy songs, and they are just as unafraid of detonating them midstream amid a howling wall of guitar noise.

In 2010, Levis and Li Qing decided to leave the band, due to creative differences. Their positions will be filled by He Fan (of Birdstriking) and Ben Ben (of BOYZ & GIRL).

Line Up: Guitar/Vocals : Shouwang (张守望) (White) Bass : Levis (李维思) (Snapline) Percussion : Li Qing (李青) (Snapline)
