HK Live! Announces the line-up for the March show
It was a sight that may go down in history. On Saturday, February 11, an enormous queue snaked around the Fringe Club as hundreds of people tried to get into the debut HK Live! show. The concert was a resounding success, with sell-out crowds and stunning performances by SIQ, Hardpack and Soler. Check out the photos in the event website: www.hk-live.com
We are pleased to now announce the March 4 line-up:
Headlining will be PixelToy, who recently won Commerical Radio's Best Newcomer award. The duo offer electronica in the tradition of French group Air ?V but with a serious Hong Kong twist.
Joining them on the line-up are one of Hong Kong's most legendary live acts. Gayamyan are highly respected among the city's musicians for their original music and the utterly remarkable voice of frontman Chan Ho-fung. They have a wide presence already in Hong Kong, for their performances in Zuni Icosahedron's multi-media performances such as Magic Flute, 2001 a Hong Kong Odyssey and the political satire series East Wing West Wing.
Finally, The Swamp, one of Guangzhou's most rocking live acts, are coming in from Guangzhou to add a regional slant to the proceedings. Once again, MC Goldmountain will be delivering freestyle raps as he introduces each band on stage.
HK Live! is a series of band showcase nights organized by Hong Kong's leading city living magazine, HK Magazine. The shows feature the best emerging and established bands of the Hong Kong music scene and a cast of music personalities. This is a monthly exhibition of the emerging trends of the Hong Kong music scene ?V and HK Magazine is playing the role of curator. The aim is to turn the event into a hugely successful phenomenon, and make it influential in nurturing and shaping the direction of the live music scene in Hong Kong.
