HKXO2

another great night with some bands I've never heard before...

Rachel Believes in Me

EMO alert... no, jokes, they were really cool. 22 Cats dude on the right!

Naughty Aliens

Very stoked I got to hear these guys... Gypsy Bitch Rock! (I just made that up, good eh?)

Naughty Aliens= sweet band/awful name

 9 Maps

Lovely as always... I think I am in love with this band (individually I don't care for any of them) kidding!

31G

these guys..... they were.... loud?

The man in charge!

        

 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!

Live at the Wanch

Just another poster I made for what is going to be a KICK-ASS show!

You won't wanna be missing this!

Why does Hong Kong need HKXO

I discovered that HKXO stands for Hong Kong Cross Over last night (I thought it stood for Hong Kong hugs and kisses). HKXO1 was a great success, maybe there wasn't as many people as say a CD release or whatnot, but there was a mingling of local and western music. Hearing new music is always good and HKXO's aim is to serve you up a dish of new music every time you go to one of their shows. Without HKXO I most likely would have not heard two of my new favorite bands...

SAY YOU CARE 

A throwback to the late nineties/turn of the century indie emo epic-ness.

and

DIRECT ACTION

Heavy tunes from a solid band.

It's not difficult to by one of my favorite bands.

Criteria:

1. Be Heavy

2. Have 2 vocalists

As for the band I have seen many a time before....

Shotgun Politics (well half)

Proving they can rock just as hard as a mellowed out 2 - piece.

SIDE NOTE : Freddy's face is amazing.

 This Is Ammunition

Always a joy! Catchy shit!

HKXO is a crossover. In a city famed for its blend of west and east, there unfortunately remains a divide between two parallel music communities. Whilst the musical landscape in HK has never looked as bright as it has coming into 2012; HKXO aims to further close the rapidly narrowing gap between musicians in the territory; exposing as many people to as much beautiful, local, independent and genuine music as possible along the way.

1 show. 4 bands. 2 east, 2 west. Every month.

Keep supporting local and live music!

HKXO 1

Tomorrow is HKXO 1

Very excited to hear Say You Care and Direct Action.

Shotgun Politics and This is Ammunition will also be showcasing their brand of the aurally insane.

HKXO is an organization that my buddy Joe has created. He aims to bridge the gap between the Local bands here in HK. It is a solid idea and needs your support. Check out his blog here - HKXO for a look into all the latest and greatest news on HKs growing local music scene!
