Speaking of Rock in China, you will always discover one name: "Tang Dynasty" or pronounced in Mandarin "T¨¢ng Ch¨¢o". Their name is not only among the most famous bands in China, but they are also the first band to cross the thin line between Rock and Metal.

Discovered at the "Xiandai Yinyuehui" (Festival Of Modern Music), Landy Chang ¨Cthe founder of Taiwan¡¯s Rock Records signed the band from Beijing under their mailand division Magic Stone Records.

In 1992 their debut album "A Dream Return To Tang Dynasty" ( ÃλØÌƳ¯ - Meng hui tangchao) was released and about 1 million legal copies were sold only in Asia. Thanks to the video broadcasting of Hong Kong¡¯s Channel V (primary notorious for pop tunes) Tang Dynasty has become Taiwan's most popular band in a market it might not otherwise have reached. They were were voted the best Chinese rock band and Yi Jun Lui was voted as best Chinese guitarist. Together with Cui Jian they had the chance to play some concerts outside China. They performed even in Berlin on this tour. In 1995 bass-player Zhang Ju was passed away by motorcycle accident.
