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!

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。


For well over eight 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:

Special limited edition Zippo Lighters
Zippo Encore
  

The Zippo Windproof Lighter has always been the ultimate accessory for making a bold statement in music, with the iconic sea of flames created decades ago when Zippo Lighters were first waved in the air calling for an encore. Having had a long standing affiliation with rock music, Zippo is excited to partner with The Underground to commemorate their 100th gig by creating a uniquely designed, limited edition Windproof Lighter. Marked with the event name and milestone in its signature vivid yellow, these will be available exclusively to lucky draw prize winners at the event or on the Zippo Facebook page

  

特別限量版Zippo打火機 :數十年前,參與演唱會的人士會高舉Zippo 防風打火機並於空中揮舞,務求讓點點火光拼湊成一片閃耀星海,以邀請演唱者再度高歌。自此,Zippo 防風打火機一直被公認為音樂會上最基本之配件。Zippo長久以來跟樂與怒音樂有著緊密的聯繫,今年更特地與The Underground合作,推出獨一無二的限量版防風打火機以紀念其第100埸之表演。印有鮮黃色音樂會名稱的Zippo 限量版防風打火機將於音樂會上之大抽獎及Zippo Facebook 專頁內送出。https://www.facebook.com/Zippo
