History
Happy Strings was formed in 2005 as a punk/alt-rock band. In February 2008 they changed their name to Momo and their style to something more pop-like.
Performed live at the Yuyintang on September 22nd 2008.[1]
2009
On March 3rd, the International Women's Day, they performed in the Yuyintang during a Women's Day party organized by 0093 Studios. According to Andy Best: Momo continued with their new found professionalism. Since signing with Indietop and recording new, more layered, material they go to great lengths to reproduce it on stage. CC was tight on the drums, using a click via headphones, and they have Jerry Li Xing playing third guitar riffs and setting off samples and effects from a lap top. Their songs sounded great and their blend of wall-of-sound indie and cutesy pop pleased everyone.[2] Further in March, their song 小妖怪 is included in the So Rock! Magazine (no. 84). On June 5th, they performed at the Indietop show cast event at the Dream Factory in Shanghai. According to Andy Best: Since joining Indietop they have gone more cutesy but put on a tight professional show. First thing, yes, the sound was a massive improvement. Still had problems, if you stand right at the front of the stage, like first two or three rows of people, you get behind the PA and the vocals/drums disappear leaving you with the roaring guitar amp only.[3] In July they released two new demo tracks online at Douban: 不要告诉爸爸妈妈我失恋了 and 晴天娃娃.[4] In August they add the song My Momo to the list of downloadable songs at Douban.[5] September 26th they performed during the opening party of the M.A.O. Shanghai. [6]
2010
On April 30th, they performed during the Shanghai Rock Revitalization concert at the Yuyintang. According to Andy Best: Momo followed with a stripped down short set that lacked the tight organization of the recent shows, but there was a sense that this night was more for fun.[7]
