The band typically compose lengthy erhu melodic-based instrumental pieces that feature dynamic contrast, heavy guitar riffs, melodic bass guitar lines and trading solo. Part of the new-fusion rock movement, the Hsu-Nami redefines the 1960s and 1970s progressive fusion rock music. Hsu-Nami’s music was featured in the 2008 Summer Olympic in Beijing.

After a 5 month hiatus Down & Derby mourned the loss of our home at Good Units but will now rejoice at our new home, the Dekalb Market. Friday May 18th Down & Derby Roller Disco will make its return to Brooklyn to skate at the Dekalb Market located at 138 Willoughby st & Flatbush.

Dekalb Market is a new community destination in Downtown Brooklyn. Dekalb Market, is housed in a collection of salvaged shipping containers, that bring together Brooklyn’s creative entrepreneurs in a community setting that include an incubator farm, events and performance venue, and a collection of eateries and work-sell spaces. This summer the Market has added a beer and wine license in support of the slew of dj dance parties/ shows including the Nationally recognized roller disco party, Down & Derby

So take an extra yoga class, buy stock in BenGay, purchase every piece of spandex in a 20mile radius and get your tight little behind down to the Dekalb Market for a litte couple skate and some craft beers.
