I think the votes of one excellent, one good and one bad are perfect for this place...

Let me explain. The venue itself is OK (if not enormous) but it really depends on the band how good your evening will be...

Some, like 9th State & Deja Blue, are excellent, others like Don't Panic & Hei Sha are good...

Well, at the time this was written (see date) we'd been around for less than a year, and our current lineup was only a few months old - Harold and John only having joined in Feb/Mar. The video on our website was done just our third gig together, May last year. We do tend to have our audience joining in rather than just watching, and they tend to stay almost to the very end... I love finding stuff like this accidentally heh.



And the Fringe club (where we play next week) had a really cool description in their promo mailer. They have a new promoter who has started rewriting the band's description and I was really thrilled at what she did with ours. Will put that up next post, unfortunately its a printed flyer so I can't post a link.



It's an uphill slog for me since I'm so new to the HK music scene (less than 2 years old in fact!), so to have even some recognition feels fantastic!

This was the first time that I had seen this band play live after seeing their name all over the place for the last few months.



The followers of the Hong Kong band soon arrived at the Fringe Club and there was no seating and not many good spots to see standing by the time they sarted their performance.



They started off with one of their own songs in Chinese by a couple of others they had written themselves. the crowd became more supportive to the band after each song finished.



Madonnas new song Hollywood went down well as song after song entertained the crowning crowd of people in the Club.



I can honetly say I enjoyed their own work more than the covers, as they expressed such emotion and presence on the stage over anything else.



I look forward to seeing them again soon, event though their only recently new family member Ryan their Bassist will be going back to the states at the end of August.



Let hope the new bassists introduces other songs for them to sing as did Ryan with “Booze Me Up and Get Me High." By Ween.

WOW, this was the coolest thing! And it went to all the club members...



Friday 14

Hei Sha

Rock

Classic rock led by the stunning front-woman, Debbie, who trained in choral and theatrical singing but now unleashes her rock nature. Hei Sha translates as "Dark Sand" in Mandarin. They're an international rock act that blends delicious vocals with the rhythm of high-energy drummer Harold, thefunky bass of Alan, a mix of classic rock and adventurous original lead from guitarist Colin and the keyboard acrobatics of Richard.



I like words like "delicious". That is so sweet of Claire.

Good to see you both get the recognition!
