China Blue was a Vancouver-based melodic hard rock band formed in 1985 by bassist Wayne Ellis and guitarist Nicki Scianna. Known for their dynamic live performances and emotionally resonant songwriting, the band made a significant impact on the West Coast club circuit. Their self-titled 1987 mini-album remains a definitive collection of their work, featuring seven tracks that showcase soaring vocals, rich synth textures, and tightly arranged guitar work.
