[edit] Timeline

[edit] 2009

Forget and Forgive are formed in February 2009.

November 13th, they performed at the Yuyintang. According to Andy Best: The first band that people got excited about were Forget And Forgive. They played a four song set of emo-tastic material. They switched between thrashy riffs and screaming and catchy sung choruses, all in the emo style. They are a new band and were quite good, but not good enough yet to ignite the crowd which was big enough to break into a mosh.[1]

[edit] 2010

On January 9th, 2010, they performed at the Yuyintang as support act to Triple Smash on their National Tour. According to Andy Best: Next up was Forget and Forgive whose excellent catchy emo songs Escape and Parasite are rocketing about Douban right now and earning big buzz. The songs sounded good live and there were enough people ... and they finally got the reaction they deserved with the crowd going for it for the first time. Nice.[2] January 29th, 2010, they performed at the Playful Warrior concert night in the Yuyintang. According to Andy Best: FAF were the first to get the crowd moving with a longer than usual set. Ding Ding intro'd their Story of the Year cover version as their favourite track which was odd as their opening two original songs Escape and Parasite were the clear winners.[3] On March 13th, they performed during the Hell United First Anniversary concert at the Mao Livehouse in Shanghai. According to Jake Newby: They're a really tight outfit now and have put together a strong set, which on Saturday featured a new track. The sound was good and the guy who plays keyboards and does all the screamy bits was on good form too.[4] On April 30th, they performed during the Shanghai Rock Revitalization concert at the Yuyintang. According to Andy Best: FAF played their usual opening of Escape and Parasite and were the first band to get the crowd jumping. They blend the more commercial aspects of the Emo style with big guitar riffs and are local favorites. Singer Ding Ding has a great voice and good energy. They finished the set with a ballad and later a Justin Bieber (I know, why?) cover version. People seemed to like it.[5] On May 9th, they performed at the Yu Shu Benefit Gig at Yuyintang, in remembrance of the victims of the Yushu earthquake at Qinghai. According to Jake Newby: They played a fairly long set given that they were the second support band, but no one minded. They've added a new song to their repertoire as well, one that sees Xiao Ding get out a semi-acoustic and play something a bit different to their usual sound..[6]
