The road to fame

After journeying more than 10,000 km around China in a minivan, rock band P.K.14 came to the 28th, and final, stop of their 2008 tour in Beijing. The band performed a carnival-like gig to end their long march at Mao Live on Oct 11.

"Most of the time we would arrive in a city around 4 pm and go directly to the venue for sound check," says Yang Haisong, lead singer of the Beijing-based post-punk group.
