A Hard Rock life....

Did a little 'hard rockin' last weekend for the Underground CD #4 release party. It took place at the new Hard Rock hotel here in HK...

Was a cool to have a show in a new location, however, the venue itself is kinda balls. No place to sit (unless you order food) and absolutely no place to stand.... Other than that, the CD itself is pretty great and loving the Six Pack of Wolves song - Punk Rock Story.

Had (and will continue to have) a busy week... I just now got back from some hot pot, AKA yummy in my tummy. Tomorrow is gonna be pretty darn great! Reserved my tickets for The Chariot which is playing at Hidden Agenda. Gonna be pretty dope i'm sure. Check out the facebook event HERE.

Pretty stoked

Some video treats for you all to enjoy!

I super had more to write about, but as usual left my blogging for far too long and forgot it all.... so another potentially interesting blog (in my mind) turned totally mediocre. ENJOY!

thanks arthur!!

who watches the Watchmen?

.... I just did. The first time I saw the movie I was apparently the only one in the movie theatre to not see the big blue penis that was so prevalent in the film. Finally saw it this time around. YEAH!!!! big blue wiener!

Anyhow, this weekend was again full of fun...

Saturday: A surprise leaving party for a couple of my favorite people. Joe did a great job of putting it all together!

This was the lineup on Saturday-

Six Pack Of Wolves

Doing their thing. Playing some fun, fast catchy tunes.

This Is Ammunition

This is Joe (from Livefastdie) and his other band.

First time I heard them live and I really loved it. Music is slightly dated, but in a good way. The type of music they play is the stuff I listened to growing up and will always have a big place in my heart for it!

LiveFastDie

One of their last shows they will play. This was after Hungry ghosts played the song that had the lyrics "Take off your clothes..." which a lot of the men in the Wanch followed.

Sunday: About an hours hike from the Sha Tin Wai MTR station was a beautiful waterfall. A very surreal scenic experience in Hong Kong.

Bottom of the steps to the waterfall.

Nice clear spring water

There was a family there catching Japanese Fire Belly Salamanders.
