TICKETS GIVEAWAY!

Reign Lee is releasing a NEW CD next Saturday 27 November and is hosting an amazing lineup of musicians for the occasion. We have two pairs of tickets to give away to TWO lucky winners!

All you have to do is answer this question:
*What is the name of The Pixies bassist?*

and send your answer to
contact@undergroundhk.com

before 23rd November and we'll pull two names out of the hat.

Reign as usual has arranged for 10% of the tickets to go to charity (this time for Asian University for Women) so besides a night of GREAT music, you get to feel charitable whilst supporting the local live music scene.

This CD Launch is a MUST GO TO event. Saturday 27 November at Grappa's Cellar in Central.

8pm start. We'll see you there!

Interviews you may have missed...

But, do you know how the band formed?

What their particular influences are (which one likes Irish folk music?!)?

What they think about their own songs?
