A friend of mine said it was the best FBI show he has ever came to!
People randomly stopped me and told me directly that 'FBI is officially their favourite Hong Kong band from now on!'
Some people got to open their eyes and see F.B.I.
It was tripping me out because we got an encore and we hardly had no practice. I thought we played as good as we could given the situation. Still not our best. But, the audience lapped it up as we played 'Man Love' and got the crowd to sing along in the chorus.
We knew that we were off our game the week before and that it was our only chance for a full band practice before Underground 100.
I don't know what happened... we all pulled our shit together and did a whopper of a show to celebrate Underground 100!!!
How could we disappoint Chris B!
Watch the videos! Send it your favourite song to a friend to listen to cheer them up! It will be the last FBI show for another while sorry as I go into hospital tomorrow for a knee reconstruction.
Thanks to SU LEE for the videos! I love the quality and the sound is awesome! Also must say thanks to Chris B and of our supporters, new and old!!! We love you!

We’ve
come to a stage in the HK indie scene, where there is such diversity,
that there are at least 2-3 bands that are right for the same job. What
I’m trying to say is, if you need a band that will guarantee
entertainment, the veterans in FBI should be on your top 5 list. It’s
been very quiet on the Fire Bird International’s front recently, so I
was quite keen to see whether or not they still had their trademark
flair.
To
fill in the usual lull that is rigging up, front man Cain offered his
congratulations to the UG in the form of a poem that he had prepared.
“Ode to the Underground” I believe it was called. It set the crowd in
good spirits, actually, perhaps maintained the current good vibes set by
the previous band and heroes: ‘Airtub’ I should say.
FBI
then proceeded to demonstrate that being an energetic band with great
stage presences is like riding a bike, you simply just don’t forget.
They rifled through their brand of what I’m calling fusion-pop-punk at a
good pace and never failed to capture the interest of the crowd, who’s
appreciation of popular songs such as Senorita, Jasmine Revolution and
of course Man Love, was reflected in the amount of dancing and jumping
that was taking place. My favourite moment from the set was during the
FBI Anthem, which is this sort of … rap, I suppose, where the band
introduces themselves, I saw a middle aged man in the audience watching
very intensely with this look of bemusement on his face. It was sort of
like he was unsure if it was the strangest, or greatest thing he had
seen. Listen, the point is, he was watching… closely, and so was
everyone else. Well done fellas, welcome back.
Last Wednesday night we performed at the Happy Valley Races as part of the Alivenotdead 4th Anniversary Party! We had so much fun! hope you enjoy the videos!
Here is our live performance from GBOB HEAT 6 in which we were the winners. We play 'Ghouls 'n' Ghosts' and 'FU'. Though, these will not be the two songs we play at the final. It's a secret. Just a clue: There will be lots of love!!!! U know what kind....
no worries guys. I doubt any of us will make top 5. our band is a bunch of loners so we have to pray for votes from real people that should matter, fans of our actual music. I don't have any grandparents left alive to ask to vote for us so we're doomed...
If only I had more family and alas more friends.. but I don't... sob...
;)

One Gwailo and three Hong Kong guys come together to form F.B.I., a band which takes its audience on a musical journey of diverse sounds and on-stage intensity. With Australian vocalist-Cain, lead guitarist- Archvictor, bass guitarist- Jerald and on the drums- Nice.
Firebirds was a band built through a high school friendship of three Hong Kong guys. After participating in a school band project these three were inspired to just play music and have fun together. A chance meeting between Jerald and Cain gave the band an international feel, thus they became Fire Bird International.
F.B.I. emerged six months ago out of the New Territories and are still just new comers to the Hong Kong Rock scene. They have come along way since their first show in a community centre, which was the same day that Cain met the other members of the band. There was an instant connection that proves that music really is the universal language.
Although dedicated to cover songs for the first two months they have now began writing, performing and recording their own songs. In their short time together they have participated in band competitions and have appeared on Icable tv. It’s hard to describe F.B.I.’s style of music because they don’t conform to just one style. I guess you will just have to find out for yourself.
