Handy Guide to Hong Kong bands!
|
 |
All
of us here at The Underground realise that when you are new in town or
not a regular live music supporter, how can you sift the good from the
bad when it comes to Hong Kong bands?
Well for the past five
years at all our events, we've had reviewers come and watch the bands
perform and then write their honest reviews. Some reviews are better
than others, some longer than others but all honest.
We are all
amazed that we now have reviews for over 300 bands in Hong Kong (and a
sprinkling of overseas bands too!) to share with you.
Check out the reviews of the bands that are playing the next couple of weeks:
