Live Performance Reviews

Underground 87













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 five and half 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.

Many of the bands performing this month are listed in our reviews:

Want to share a band room on Hong Kong side?
Or looking for a bassist?
