New Pants New Pants exploded onto the Chinese rock mus

ic scene during the late 90’s and remain one of the Mainland’s most endearing bands. New Pants' self-titled debut album in 1998 ranks among the best-selling rock/pop albums ever in China.

Rebuilding The Rights Of Statues Post-punk prodigies Re-TROS (or “Rebuilding

The Rights Of Statues”) are considered by many to be the torchbearers of the new Chinese rock movement.

P.K. 14 P.K. 14 is currently the most influential

Chinese band among China’s young, up-and-coming rockers. But despite its influence, in one respect P.K.14 is an outlier: at a time when younger bands are singing in English, hoping to break through internationally, all of P.K.14’s lyrics are in Mandarin.

The Sing For China Tour Bus is a genuine, iconic, yellow, American school bus with a converted “green” engine that allows the bus to run on vegetable oil as opposed to diesel fuel. The bus will act as a canvas for American artists in each tour city. When the tour is completed, the fully-painted bus will be shipped to Beijing via freighter ship to be archived for future generations to enjoy.

A true rock n’ roll school bus for a true rock n’ roll adventure!

About China AIDS Orphan Fund (CAOF)About China AIDS Orphan Fund (CAOF)

Since its inception in 2003, the China AIDS Orphan Fund (CAOF) has followed its mission to improve the lives of children orphaned by HIV/ AIDS in Central China, especially Henan Province. The organization's activities include education, advocacy, funding research and support for organizations serving the affected population in China. Funding priorities include (1) education for AIDS orphans, (2) humanitarian services to families affected by HIV/ AIDS, (3) Medical care and training, and (4) foster care and orphanage programs.

"HIV/AIDS is a devastating disease. Without treatment, affected individuals will succumb to a slow and agonizing death, at the same time enduring the painful stigma that still accompanies this disease in China. The Sing for China project aims to (1) raise funding to help HIV/AIDS patients, and (2) promote tolerance and compassion in the care of HIV/AIDS patients in China.” - CAOF founder Steven Q. Wang, MD, Director of Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at Basking Ridge, NJ
