Hong Kong, August 1, 2011 -
The Underground, Hong Kong's premier indie
music showcase, took on nine of the best local innovators, entrepreneurs and programmers to win the city's first-ever Battle of the Apps contest, organized by Hong Kong's premier internet networking community, Web Wednesday.
The Battle of the Apps contest, which featured video and live presentations, took place at Volar on July 20th in front of more than 170 guests and members of the Internet and digital media community. Apps on display included a city food locator, a guide to buying local property, a Chinese learning tool, a location-based gaming platform, a rugby match analyzer, a photo sharing network and a smart phone function that automatically shuts down WiFi to save battery power.

The Underground's app - presented by founder Chris B (AKA, the godmother of Hong Kong's indie music scene) - won over the voting audience with its user-friendly graphics and entertaining content.
The iPhone-friendly program plays new music; publicizes bands and upcoming shows; presents news from The Underground; and more. The software was created by Mangrove Giant, the Hong Kong-based applications developer whose game Kill Kill Monster Campaign entered the Top 100 in 66 countries last year and sold over 100,000 copies. |

OUR UPCOMING SHOW
3 December 2011 | |
The end of the year approacheth; but fret not because there's an Underground show waiting for you well before that. And 'cause we're back to the numbered state of affairs, this show is extra-awesome. NEU gets you into the thick of things right away with their atmospheric prog rock, after which The Sinister Left make a record 10th appearance at the Underground as they immerse you in the ethereal, post-punky "half-rock, half-something else". operator then bring you a sound that's like revisionist Britpop; a moody alt. rock flavour. To leave you on a high, Apache close out the night with their classic mixture of metal and hard rock. The last Underground show of the year...don't miss it!
年終將至，請不要感慨，因為還有the Underground等著你。
這次回歸演出將會是非常、非常精彩絕倫。頭炮演出的NEU樂隊將引領各位走進他們迷離的prog rock世界；第十次為the Underground演出的The Sinister Left會帶來精良和揉合了不同元素的後崩搖滾；operator亦將繼續發放其Britpop力量及沉鬱格調，另類搖滾愛好者不要錯過；壓軸樂隊Apache的懷舊風硬搖滾及重金屬勢令各位瘋狂及盡興而歸。
這是本年度最後一場Underground演出，萬勿錯過！

Bands chosen for The Underground Compilation CD5!The Underground合輯 CD5 入選樂隊己定!
We are delighted to announce that we have selected 12 Hong Kong bands for the next compilation release from The Underground!
It was a long & arduous process as 30 bands applied this year but we only have slots for 12.
After a series of very difficult decisions, we have finally settled on the final dozen who will appear on our next compilation album.
Each band chosen to represent the Hong Kong indie music scene will have the chance to record 2 songs at Mark 1 Music Centre!
Compilation CD 5 will be released in two launch parties circa April 2012. Details for these events will be released closer to the event.
BANDS CHOSEN: 入選樂隊:
All for a Vison
Airtub
Audiotraffic
Dr Eggs
eli
Intellectual Morons
Joves
Operator
ReOrientate
The Bollands
Who Shot Holga
The Underground的下一張合輯的十二支參與樂隊已定! 我們很高興這次共有三十支樂隊報名參與合輯。由於名額有限, 經過一輪篩選後, 我們好不容易才在云云出色樂隊中選出十二支樂隊。
每支中選樂隊皆會在Mark 1 Music Centre灌錄兩首作品, 收錄於合輯中, 為香港當代的獨立音樂留下足跡。
The Underground合輯CD5的兩場發佈派對將於明年四月舉行, 請繼續留意我們的最新消息。
