Xperience Live 7
Xperience 7 - 25 Feb 2012 

Xperience Live is BACK!
 
Xperience Live 返o黎o勒!

The party is re-staring in February's last week so you have reason to lick the lips in anticipation (your own, I hope). Just to live up to that, we've got three juicy bands lined up for you...The North starts off with a mix of originals and covers in a solidly rock style, followed by the best party hellraisers in town, Transnoodle. Finally, Poubelle International delivers the KO, with their irresistible earworm-like songs...
 

We've changed things around slightly from now; an entry charge of only $110 gets you TWO drinks!


So, mark your calendars, 'cause this is one night of HK rock you seriously don't wanna miss!


Xperience Live #7
@ Xperience, G/F, 33 Lockhart Road, Wanchai
9:00pm - 1:00am
Bands: The North, Transnoodle, Poubelle International
HK$110 (2 standard drinks)

 

這令人期待萬分的搖滾派對將於二月最後一個星期載譽歸來當晚有三支樂隊的刺激演出:The North將會以原創及翻唱搖滾金曲打頭陣;其後有Transnoodle樂隊帶大家進入瘋狂派對;壓軸的Poubelle International會以令人難以抗拒的樂曲完滿當晚

 

入場費為港幣一百一十元正,包兩杯飲品!

 

這必定是香港搖滾界一大盛事,不容錯過!

For well 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:
