How to rock out

So you've decided to go on holiday? That's a great idea! I hate my god damn day job too, they're all jerks. I'm also willing to bet you're sick of going to the same bars, seeing the same bands, waking up in the same gutters. How about the allure of going to new bars, seeing new bands and waking up in new gutters? Well we have a treat for you.

The How to Rock Out: Osaka Tour is a one week jaunt to Osaka, Japan where you are taken to the best Live Venues, eat-y places and bars. Week long hangover permitting or not we also drag everyone along to some old buildings so you can take photos for your mum, so that she can think you had a lovely time when the rest of us know the truth.
The HTRO boys acting as guides, translators and general purveyors of rock will ensure that your trip is one you will surely remember for a long time to come.
*September 11 Twin Towers Sale!*
If you and a friend book before September 11 for a Tour in November or December this year, your prices will fall! You will receive 2000HKD off your total price!
Normally you'd be able to go on one of these face melting tours for around 14,000HKD now you can rock the fuck out on one for 12,000HKD! This is both a bargain and everything you wanted, so do it now, get on over to www.howtorockout.com , check out the Tour section... if you're reading this newsletter then you're in the right place!

OUR UPCOMING SHOW!

Underground Electronica!
 
We're delighted to announce that our only show in September is the first of its kind for The Underground!   We got four different electronica acts showing us that Hong Kong's electronica scene is as strong and vibrant as other cities.   All bands will also have visuals so it'll be an audio-visual extravaganza.  Plus we'll make lots of space for dancers too!

很高興跟大家宣佈一下九月唯一一場表演節目是The Underground 前所未有的! 我們為你帶來四隊電音組合,足以證明香港的電子音樂跟世界其他城市一樣充滿生氣。所有組合除音樂外也有視覺效果,為求讓大家飽以視聽之娛。當然,想跳舞的朋友,我們為你們留下了充足空間!
 
The Acts 當晚陣容:
A.O.S. (glitch minimal)
Snoblind (downtempo trip hop)
Sushi Robot (break beat / drum n bass)

New to Hong Kong?
Or just new to the live music scene?
How can you sift the good bands from the bad bands?

初來報到?

還沒有摸熟本地樂隊的圈子?

那你大概需要看看我們的 "樂隊指南"了。


Well for nearly six 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.

六年以來,我們都會邀請不同的樂評家為我 們每一隊演出樂隊撰寫樂評。每個樂評家的 觀點都不盡相同,但我可以肯定的一點是,他們都盡心為大家帶來最準確,

不偏不倚的評論。


Our website has over 300 bands reviewed (and a sprinkling of overseas bands too!)  to share with you.  Many of the bands performing this month are listed in our reviews:

我們的網站已經有超過三百隊樂隊的樂評 本地和外地樂隊),包括這個月將會演出 的幾隊樂隊:
