Saturday: The Wheels live at Uprock
Chongqing-based band The Wheels will play Uprock on Saturday night as part of their national tour. Long a hometown favorite in Chongqing, the band's music has been described as a "tight, energetic, pop-punk live act" and even "like a Chinese Franz Ferdinand."

We're not so sure about that last description, but we'll let you judge for yourselves. Entry to the 10pm show is 30 yuan or 20 yuan with a VIP card.

Sunday: Brunch at Lazy Bones
Sunday brunch is back again at Lazy Bones, as it will be most Sundays from here out. It will include English & American Breakfasts, pancakes, french toast, burgers and ribs, Italian specials, a make-your-own bloody mary bar and mimosa and beer specials. The meal runs from 11am to 4pm.
