Wooozy Session #10 The Wooozy Sessions is a concert series from Wooozy.cn with the cooperation of Shanghai’s independent livehouses. They promote local bands and give them a platform to perform, and they also bring in bands from other parts of China who have not yet had the opportunity to play in Shanghai. Saturday was Wooozy Session #10 at Yuyintang as part of the JUE Music + Art festival.
