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:

Punk fans in HK - rejoice! The last day of Jan in 2012, we shall be graced by none other than one of the first punk bands to hit the airwaves EVER - The Damned!! Being first-wave forefathers of their glorious, riotous sound hasn't stemmed their desire to Smash it Up, and so they're gonna blast your ears out at Grappa's Cellar. Generous doses of more noise will be provided by opening act The Shadow all the darn way from Houston, TX.

Keen to go? Collect tickets directly from Grappa's Cellar from 5th Jan 2012 onwards,
