Back from Slack

You'd think since I am not working day in and day out I would have more time to blog. Alas, laziness ensues and I have not been blogging. SLACK you say? Agreed. An update on the last couple of weeks...

Okay, first of all I went to the Shotgun Politics CD Release Party

Although I took no pictures of Shotgun Politics themselves, I thought they put on a very good show! I did however get some good shots of Hungry Ghosts...

... here are my favs.

The CD release party was held at Graffiti, a new live music venue in Lan Kwai Fong. Sucks, the place looks retarded and the vibe is lame. Good show tho!

Finished off my last week of work after that. Had a great going away party at Karaoke.

Then over this last weekend I went to the 2 day music fest at The Wanch

Pretty darn great time if you ask me (chances are if you are still reading up to this point, you probably are asking me). Who played:

Kisses From My Grandpa

Super Metal

FAAAR too many pedals!

This Is Ammunition

Live Fast Die!

Sans Ross S. Seizure

Who Shot Holga?

And 22 more bands I didn't take any photos of...

until next time.

Luke Chow is Hilarious!

The Bauhinian Collective put on a show at Swindlers for the first day of Chinese New Year. Great to see more venues in Hong Kong hosting local music! It was a pretty successful night with a great turn out!

Simon from Sushi Robot was up first. He kicked off the night with 'fresh beats' and next level bass lines. haha. No, he was great, it's a shame more people didn't get up to bump and grind to his tunes....

The Mooches played their last show again. They were great! Jas is a fantastic drummer with tons of style. Actually the whole band was fully enjoyable to watch. Super catchy songs to sing along to!

Last up was Luke Chow. Luke Chow is hilarious to watch live. No matter which band he is playing with or even just his solo stuff. His stage energy is just fun. He jumps around like a goof and makes lame jokes, but it definitely got people laughing. Keep up the nerdiness Luke!

Great night all together. Had a good ol' time I gotta say!
