Kilala sa mga kantang "Wishful Thinking," "King in a Catholic Style," at "Black Man Ray", muling ihahandog ng English rock band na China Crisis ang kanilang mga awitin sa Kia Theater, Araneta Center sa Quezon City sa Biyernes ng gabi.
Nabuo sa Kirkby na malapit sa Liverpool, UK, muling maririnig ang tutugtugin nina Eddie Lundon (guitarist), Gary Daly (vocalist), at Eric Animan (saxophone) sa ganap na 8:00 p.m.
Sa panayam ni Mike Enriquez sa Super Radyo DzBB nitong Huwebes, ibinahagi ng grupo kung paano nabuo ang kanilang pangalan.
"We were looking for a name about in 1981. We were with our friends in our local pub drinking Lager beers. There was a group of us, everybody was swapping different parts of the East names. 'Russia' this, 'China' that," pahayag ni Daly.
Ipinaliwanag naman ni Lundon kung bakit nila napili ang 'China Crisis':
"At the time, it was very political as well, not many people knew anything about China, it was very closed off. We do not know what they were doing there. China was a mystery, and that's what we hyphened together."
Pahayag pa ni Lundon, hindi raw nila inaasahan na magiging hit sila.
"We didn't imagine that we'd be on the streets. We didn't imagine the amount of success that we have. We were always very ambitious. We will write our own songs, we weren't playing other people's songs, so it's always about being in the creative side of it. We enjoyed playing... We are truly passionate.. It was music, music, music."
Sinabi ng grupo na maaaliw ang audience sa kanilang performance.
"They can expect all the hits. They'll get some great songs that they'll have another chance to hear from the albums. It will be very interesting sets."
"It's our fifth time and we're always excited to be back here," masayang sabi ni Daly.
Kakantahin din ng grupo ang "Christian," "African in White," "Highest High," at "Arizona Sky."
Sa pagkakataong ito, makakasama ng China Crisis si Peter Coyle ng Lotus Eaters. -- FRJ/KVD, GMA News
