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

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：

Underground 101!   14 April 2012
U101
 

Yowsah, yowsa, yowza, people.

After all the excitement of Underground 100, we're all raring to get our great big convoy of numbered shows on the road and rockin' through the night again, and how better to follow 100 than 101? 
A really unusual mix of bands it's set to be too - fun poppy-rock from Little Fat Pig/小肥豬, electro-indie from ni.ne.mo, the groovy rock of Stardrops, some riffy and heavy solid rock from TeamHero 
and returning champions Logo in their SEVENTH outing for us, bringing their ex-future sounds. 
And we're finally back in Mong Kok as well; only our second show in The Live House, and we're looking to go steady. Only you can help us with that.

Underground 100很刺激精彩吧? 我們快將回歸並繼續搖滾, 有什麼比Underground 100更令人期待? 當然是Underground 101吧。
這次的演出陣容很特別: 首先有Little Fat Pig/小肥豬的爽勁有趣pop rock; 之後有地下電子樂隊ni.ne.mo; 再有Stardrops的搖滾噪動; 還有TeamHero的重型結他搖滾; 最後有第七次為我們演出的Logo樂隊帶來他們的前衛未來主義音樂。
Underground 101還會是我們重返旺角的演出。我們將第二度於旺角的The Live House搞show。不要猶豫, 到場支持樂隊live music吧!

(And don't forget, this is a chance for you to collect one more stamp on the back of your awesome Underground Rewards card so that you can join us for Underground Premier later this year...)

(還有, 當晚觀眾可於Underground的回贈卡上儲一個蓋印, 繼續出席我們的活動和儲滿蓋印的朋友可參與我們本年度的Underground特別演出!)
