Xperience Live 8
Xperience Live 8 

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

  Again, again, it is BACK, and it's as good as ever. Xperience Live reaches its lucky number with three great bands at your service. We start off by bringing out some young'ns with an electronifying take on rock, in the form of All For A Vision, followed by returning pot-stirrers Operator with their Anglo-alt rock. To close out the evening we all get to continue our ongoing love affair with the perennial favourite Brothers of Roadkill.
Again, we've changed one thing about the set-up with a $110 entry charge; BUT, remember kids, it's for TWO drinks. A better deal you could scarcely get.
It's gonna be fun, and you should be there!  

==============
Xperience Live...#8
@ Xperience, G/F, 33 Lockhart Road, Wanchai

Xperience Live 載譽回來!今次我們為樂迷帶來了三支樂隊:年青的All For A Vision將以電音揉合搖滾來打頭陣;之後有Operator以他們的英式另類搖滾作回歸演出;我們一直擁戴的Brothers of Roadkill將為當晚的壓軸演出.
入場費將調整至$110,但是包兩杯飲品,絕對吸引.
當晚演出定必精彩萬分,不容錯過!

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

八年以來,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 350 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:  我們的網站已經有過三百五十隊本地樂隊的樂評 (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 Lighter
  

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
