From the crimson walls of the second-story balcony hang 13 portraits that have become the club's hall of fame--local bands like P.K. 14, Joyside, Hedgehog and Carsick Cars. D-22's sophistication and huge variety--one night it featured a performance of classical Chinese opera between sets--trigger memories of the stultifying Beijing of the old days.
