this WAS halloween

I think it is about time I do a halloween post from last month... slacker!

First things first... during halloween weekend the first anniversary of The Bauhinian Collective invaded all things Wan Chai....

SWINDLERS on thursday... 

DBK warmed up and soaked down the crowd with their sexy sex rock...

DBK will be going to Manila this weekend with Tigerbombers. Wish I could say I was tagging along, but alas, I will be in HK.

This is ammunition hit hard once more with their post-core style of noise.

ALSO - Tigerbombers played, SOMEHOW I didnt take any pictures of them, I think I was getting far too drunk and not snap happy enough.

I missed the friday show at the Wanch which I heard was 'outta sight'.

I was nursing a hangover from the first night. Note to self: Pace yourself.

Feeling much better Saturday, I headed down to Xperience. The last night of the Anniversary (which also happened to fall on dress up day.

Bjork and Beiber made an appearance.

 Wolfman Andre had some bro time with beibs.

My helmet became a whore for the night..

First band of the night...

An undead Sun Eskimos.

Mad Props to Shotgun Politics for putting on such a kick-ass performance

Sushi Robot was throwing down some phat ass shapes in between sets..

and at the end Very Ape played. Again no pictures... hmmmm...

After all of the drinky McDrink nonsense, I headed out to see the sights and frights....

One picture I managed to take was of these...... Joker convicts?

ACTUAL HALLOWEEN

Star Crossed Tattoo was having their annual Halloween Free Tattoo Day.  I had drawn up some crappy skulls for people to choose from along with some of my artist buddies...

AND I SAW A BULBASAUR!

....and a gameboy...

It was a wearwolf bar mitzvah!

Drullets and Lightsabers

So it's been a pretty great last week and a bit....

First off, went to a friend's B-day out in Lan Kwai (not the place I love). Whilst there I saw an awesome battle...

There were actually a bunch of dudes with lightsabers, but I only caught the last bit, cops stopped the fun... lame.

Yesterday I went down to Swindlers and witnessed some G-reat music. It was a usual Bauhinian Collective show, the punks from Defiant Scum kicked off the night, Corey Tam and the newly rearranged One Horse Town band went next. Last but not least was Ned Noble... Ok they were great of course, but the really exciting part of the night was after the show finished and these dudes came on stage

French Canadian buskers who actually blew everyones mind. Dirty and fun as fuck folk...

You cant really tell, but the guy with the guitar and harmonica had a drullet (dread mullet for those of you who are uneducated). Also the picture does the banjo player's beard no justice, it was magic!

Honestly tho, just some of the best most raw bad ass folk music I have ever heard, EVER. They also did a cover of informer by Snow in between swigging Arthur's/Joey's bottle of Jameson.

In other music related news, I got my friggen BOB DYLAN tickets, super stoked! 3rd row Mother Truckers!

In other Star Wars news, I got one of my classes (who friggen love Star Wars) to hum the tune to Star Wars..... you decide which one is better

first attempt

second try, clearly a bigger fanboy...

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!

Showing Off

Today is a day off and I am sitting around the house doing eff all. It is glorious (minus the part where I had a bunk ass hangover this morn.) Last week has been a busy one. Went to a couple of shows and had some band practice etc. Had a late night park get together with Zane, Corey and myself for a new folk project we are starting up. On Thursday- headed over to The Wanch for BC Unplugged. Ned Noble/Corey Tam....... greats!

Ned Noble singing a cover of Wolf Parade and some energetic originals as well.

Corey Tam is a Wanch regular now

Yesterday I headed over to Xperience to check out a Bauhinian Collective Showcase. Corey Tam once more opened for This is Ammunition and Sushi Robot.

This is Ammunition

Never got a chance to get any pictures of Sushi Robot since I was busy gettin drunkz.
