that we were spellbound at his debut HK show in May 2011, means we recommend you check out his live show.

Live Performance Reviews

 

New to Hong Kong?

Or just new to the live music scene?

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.

Underground 104
Saturday 1st September
9月1號星期六
Hard Rock Cafe
 

    

Underground 104

We have our next numbered show Underground 104 on Saturday 1st September, once again in the Hard Rock Cafe in Lan Kwai Fong.
The gig marks a full circle that the Underground legacy has traversed.. Savannah Betts returns to our stage, with her light-hearted acoustic songs, followed by a first-timer to any HK stage, the folky Charles J Tan (he's from Australia and has just been on a World tour!) Britpoppy Black Coffee make their debut at The Underground, while the musical amalgam that is ReOrientate grace our stage for the second time this year.
And we end on something of a bittersweet note, with Underground veterans F.B.I. (this is their 8th appearance at The Underground!) making their last HK show as singer Cain is leaving town.
Five engrossing acts in one night, with Becks also returning to chip in to the atmosphere... it's going to be a good one.
AND: you get the chance to win a gorgeous Zippo lighter - we have three to give away that night!   See you there at 8pm.

Shoutout to Jesseca Dollano for the cool poster :)
