Independent live music organisation The Underground HK will celebrate its 19th anniversary supporting original music on April 22, with performances from an eclectic range of Hong Kong’s finest bands. The Underground, which held its first event on April 22, 2004, has since gone on to spotlight 600+ bands and host 260 events at venues around Hong Kong.
A full line-up of fabulous and fiercely original Hong Kong bands includes:
LE GROUPE ELECTROGENE FANFARE CLUB, the ultimate festival band, paying tribute to famous marching bands, classic French songs and melodies, fuelled with pastis and camaraderie. We challenge you not to dance to this!
REVERY, a local band managed by Robin Law and Sammy So, members of leading local act KOLOR. With infectious melodies and razor-sharp riffs, you will instantly see why he predicts great things for this hot young rock band.
MURPHY’S LAW – we move over for some reggaeton courtesy of MURPHY’S LAW, who last graced The Underground’s Wild Boar Music Festival. Bringing reggae and dancehall back with passion and pizzazz, the band will have fans on their feet in seconds, they promise.
The noise level picks up with YUSOBEIT, an indie rock four-piece delivering Cantonese melodies blended with multi-genre music influences. The highly versatile alt-rock act definitely make a big impression.
Local alternative metallers and The Underground favourites WHAT THEY DO will connect like-minded audiences from all backgrounds through their brand of alternative rock.
Finally, to close this momentous occasion, Eurasian twin brothers FXITHXHXPE will rap about the multi-cultural beat of growing up and living in Asia’s most exciting city.
