If you did a soft-shoe gentle sway to the Scissor Sisters' 'I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" in '06, you're in luck - Live Nation and LAMC Productions are bringing New York disco pop group SCISSOR SISTERS to Hong Kong for the first time on January 5, 2012!   

 
If pop has a responsibility to be music for all people, the Scissor Sisters have made that type of pop music experience their battle cry. With their latest sing 'Night Work' topping charts and winning hearts around the world, they bring a controversial, humourous and infectiously dancey show with them.

 


And...YOU could be there!

We've got two FREE tickets to give away in our newsletter coming out on 29th December. Can't wait? Head to HKticketing now.

Xmas 2011     

     It's nearing the End of the Season...of 2011 and it's been a phenomenal year for The Underground.   We launched CD4 with 11 great bands and had a bunch of themed events including Girls with Guitars, Heavy (we're up to #7!) and electronica.  The Team also organised lots of other live non-Underground events including Xperience Live and Halo Rocks... all terrific fun. It's been a rich year for local music; protest shows, the multitude of shows at the Wanch, and the apotheosis that was Clockenflap. To top it off, a healthy number of international acts, and wethinks music lovers can finally indulge their ear-taste-buds with this rich vein of tunes.
            The next year looks promising for HK music.
And us? We've got our sights set on Underground 100 in 2012, plus some special gigs too. SO, with all this in mind, we wish you all a GREAT holiday season!

Chris B & The Underground Team

Live Performance Reviews

 

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 over seven 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. 

Audience 
  

 

年以來,我們邀請不同的樂評人為在Underground演出的每一隊樂隊撰寫樂評。每位樂評人的觀點都不盡相同,但可以肯定的一點是,他們都盡心為大家帶來最準確、最不偏不倚的評論。

 

Our website has over 325 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:  的網站已經有過三百隊本地樂隊的樂評 (還有曾在Underground演出的外地樂隊!),包括將於本月演出的幾隊樂隊:
