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
9:00pm - 1:00am
Bands: All For A Vision, Operator, Brothers of Roadkill
$110 (2 free standard drinks)
==============

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:
