casually epic

Walking into something out of back to the future armed with my new camera, last friday I spent a portion of the night at a private party in KG5 school. Poubelle international were asked to play this super cool catered birthday.

Ben (being a fan of back to the future) felt right at home on stage dressed like a greaser.

...the night escalated into mayhem. We partied pretty hard until sunlight.

Next day (a couple of hours after my head hit the pillow) was a pre-committed Wine Walk in Stanley. I was in no shape for a day of wine, but I pushed through and felt no pain all day.

That night going on essentially no real sleep I headed down to Kwun Tong to watch my friends' new band- The Gatling Gun Revival. 

Arrived to hear the last little bit of this guy..

Erik Piece

not my thing, but he did do a pretty rad bohemian rhapsody.

Then my pals Zane Stroud and Corey Tam took over.

The Gatling Gun Revival

I was super impressed! Had quite a sound. Most of the lyrics written by Zane and most of the music and melodies written by Corey. I am very happy for and proud of these dudes right here!

The Bollands

I heard alot about them. First time I had the privilege of hearing them. By far the best folk duo in Hong Kong (if not many more places). Holy smokes they where a treat for the ears! Check them out when you get the chance... you won't be sorry!

and the last thing I heard before I called it quits?

Dear Scarborough 

AKA - Josh Wong from Noughts and Exes.

I absolutely enjoyed hearing this. Such well written tunes and beautiful melody.

IMPRESSIVE pedal looping. This guy has some freaking skillz.

ANYWAYS- got lots of shit to do today and trying to hype myself up for this...

Should be a goodun'. As usual click the pic for event info

Now I just gotta get off my ass and put up some detailed pictures of my work... Very stoked to be a part of this growing Hong Kong art networking site

A little bit of background

 The late-comers.

I was a little disappointed with the turn out... not so many peeps.... C'MON HONG KONG!

anyways it was still a blast, even though I wasn't totally in the mood for live music, I still enjoyed myself.... As you can probably tell if you've made it this far down the post I am not super in the mode for blogging either. LAZY!

HOLY SMOKE!!

Check out my friends' band's new music video! It's amazing.

Last wednesday the wanch housed a very chaotic line up.
