Hey thx to everyone who's taking part in the Linkin Park Competition by voting. You're helping in growing our music scene! Votes for 24Herbs since yesterday have been climbing, last count was 76. The contest ends in Aug 9th so, keep them coming! Vote for artist 24Herbs:
Since there's a few more days til August 9th, we thought it would be nice to recap our story from the beginning. Well actually lots of things happened at the same time. Our beginnings started around the same time as your favorite blog site...yes Alivenotdead! True to their word on supporting artist, AnD have been with us since day one. In early 2007, our very first two music videos were collaboration and sponsored by AnD (also Audiotraffic and Hardpack had vids too). It was kind of a conceptual thing, where the first one was 'a day in a life' of 24Herbs. Everyone is getting ready to get to the club to perform (Superstar). The second video is us performing at the club (24Herbs). Which not sure if everyone got that concept! haha
The video was directed by Kit Hui and filmed by Kim Chan. It was cool because it made it into a film festival in the States. Superstar is a song going after local media and entertainment people with unwarranted big egos. Seriously, it wasn't about anyone in particular unlike what the internet thought. If Big Ego people felt offended, let's say, "if the shoe fits." So many people in the industry think they're the biggest, but if you really look around, who really is the biggest? Superstar was one of the first songs we written too. It was funny how the hook came up. GS and Drunk were listening to beats in an office and Kim Chan walked in and sang in a high voice "Superstar!" over the strings. Then, we said, yeh, that's a song! Another highlight was Drunk picked a Sam Hui lyric "Teen Choi Yue Bac Chee"--a classic local thing for the intro. Right onto the second MV-24Herbs.
'24Herbs' was directed by Kit Hui and 24Herbs Phat Chan. We were letting out steam on this one! Actually, none of us are angry individuals, most days we're chill, but we can still f*ck sh*t up if need be! The MV was filmed at your favorite pool lounge Racks. A funny story was that day Drunk got styled with a huge pimped-out fur coat. But it was so hot that day and with all the lights he was boiling in it! We wanted to ditch the coat, but couldn't for the sake of 'continuity!'
24Herbs became our theme song with the crowd shouting "Ya Sei, Ya Sei, Ya Sei Mei!!" Oh by the way many a beers and a whiskey bottle were finished that day.
Cool, stay tuned for Part 2. Until then, let's get voting! Thanks y'all and bless!
thanks for the recap! you guys are doing well in the voting. we're working right now to get the fake profile's votes out of the count, you should see some of the inflated numbers jump back down to a realistic level this afternoon. (Olivier is working hard right now!) :-P

24Herbs (Ya Sei Mei is the Chinese name) is a breath of fresh air to the concrete jungle. The name comes from a herbal drink that’s special to Hong Kong. It’s a bitter tasting drink that people love or hate. It’s also the best medicine when you’re ill-and that’s what the band’s about, you can love or hate our music but what we’re giving you is good for you!
24Herbs is made out of six members. Each bringing unique styles to the bands. Mr. Drunk (aka Conroy Chan an actor and one of the ALIVE Boys) is the drunken master that flows with an interesting perspective on life. Dor Yuk (aka Eddie Chung who’s an established producer in Hong Kong) blends the music together. Brian Siswojo (Know1edge and 8five2 shop) brings a mad sense of humor mixed with unforgettable lines. Ghost Style (underground artist/producer) brings his English raps and style beats to the crew, Kit and Phat (members of the legendary group LMF) keep it real with straight up hardcore raps from the street culture.
Members:
- Dor Yuk (Eddie Chung): DJ
- Drunk (Conroy Chan): MC
- Sir Eats-a-Lot (Brian Siswojo): MC
