When would you ever put Handsome Furs, CNN and China together in a sentence? The now defunct Montreal electro band landed a gig for CNN’s online travel series back in 2010, and it documented the duo’s adventures around Asia.
Currently only a few hundred people have watched Handsome Furs' chronicled adventures, which appear to be self-shot, mostly on flip cameras (remember those?).
Check out the first video in the series, and more, below. Get ready to miss the Handsome Furs.
More episodes in the series:
"Atop the Great Wall"
"Deleted Scene"
"Lunch in Beijing"
"Inside the Forbidden City"
"Rocker feels 'total success'"
