Come August and Xperience is gonna be buzzing again...because four awesome bands are gonna wow you at the 11th Xperience Live.

As always, we've got a fabulous set of bands raring to go, and this time we bring back some old hands who've been away for a bit, 
along with some fresh young turks too. The wonderful Merriweather Deer start things off, followed by the atmospheric Sinister Left. 
The JV follows with some good ol' rock covers, and we end with TeamHero with some emotive alt metal riffy goodness.
As always, it's free entry, so clear the evening of 11th of August on your calendars...'tis gonna be a good one.

八月, Xperience又再騷動。四支強勁樂隊將於八月十一日晚集齊於Xperience

一如以往, 我們有最好的樂隊, 這次的演出單位有新人有老手: 打頭陣的有精彩的Merriweather Deer; 之後有充滿迫力的Sinister Left; The JV樂隊會翻玩一些搖滾經典; 最後力量爆澎的TeamHero將以重型另類金屬為當晚完場。

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:

 24 August show Break the Boundaries Tour

For fans of the heavier and faster side of music, there's something big to look forward towards the end of August this year.. The Underground is going to be playing host to two heavy-as-hell bands from the Philippines to sate your hardcore earballs. And to top it all off, local heavyweights Shepherds the Weak will be joining them to kick things off, for one giant rock-maelstrom of a show.   


And it'll all be happening slap-bang in the heart (or the spleen, anyway) of Central, at good ol' Backstage, with Beck's to keep you company once more. So, mark it down, it's gonna be a good one.

音樂會將在位於中環心臟地帶的Backstage舉行。伴隨好音樂的仍繼續是Beck's啤酒。
