Fighting for the future

Wednesday, May 9, 2007 10:25AM / Standard Entry

Hi all!!!!

Just a quick official post from an Audiotraffic member... I'm really looking forward to Paul Wong's 'Let's Fight' Show... If you haven't already bought tickets??? What are you waiting for!!! So I'm hoping I can head down there ASAP after work (finish at 9!!!) so I can at least come support and enjoy the bands playing... I think i'll just be able to make it to see our bro's Hardpack, 24 Herbs (superstaaaar!) and Mr. Paul Wong!!! I wish every other performer all the best that night too... ohh and tomorrow!!! Add Oil!!!

Another event at the show that I'm looking forward to is the finale where I get to join the stage with fellow axers Riz (KLC) + Seth (HP) + Seasons + Glenn (STW, HP and AT). Sik (Sonic Temple) on drums and Paul wong and so on and so on.... This is the unity part of the whole event.... It's niiiiiiiice!(Borat)

Anyhoooo I hope to see you all there on Friday and Saturday... It's gonna be fun... I think I'll be at the bowling alley before the show starts throwing some nerves away... Hey maybe we can start a Battle of the bands bowling tournament... Who's up for that?

As our bro Kevboy AKA Chicken head is unable to attend this show *sniff* :o( ... Our other bro and very good friend Ferdie Ramos is gonna smack skins for us!!! And boy can this guy play!!! We've played with him once when we played for Jun Kung...
Great guy to hang with and a great musician! As for the set... we will probabaly be playing 'Happy?', 'Better', 'Way Too Long' and my personal golden favourite song 'Lost City'...

Rock on,

Don

Happy? Lyrics

Happy?
By : Audiotraffic

Just sick and tired, one that couldn't be and just couldn't see like the others
They never tried, only come for me cause they're seventeen they aint got no clue
You dream you'll be seen tonight
I don't care what they say about us anyway
I don't care if subconsciously I'm wrong

A single mind wants to be the queen of the TV scene like every other
Aint got no style, always in-between, knows everything, likes telling me what to do
But I can see through the things that you do
I'll always keep an eye on you
Or two
We'll never see the end if we're stuck like glue

You dream you'll be the scene tonight
I don't care what they say about us anyway
I don't care if subconsciously I'm wrong

The innocence of youth you'll remember
We didn't care when the ending seamed so far
Away from here
I'll be waiting here for you till December
And I'll dream of you tonight

In 1998, the band’s first eponymous album ‘Cry’ was recorded and produced by Benjamin Lefevre; a music veteran who has worked with the likes of The Pet Shop Boys, The Rolling Stones and Van Halen. After recording in Hong Kong, the band then traveled to London to do a final mixing of the CD, which was well received in Hong Kong and enjoyed wide press coverage and appreciation from the local music scene.

The band then spent the following years playing at various venues and events, appearing on television, film, radio, online and in print.

Reuniting with the first albums engineer Rob Porter, the band then began to record their second album entitled ‘audiotraffic’, reflecting the group’s change in name, members and their musical progression. In 2008 the release of their latest CD helped to bring the band even more local attention, with a large number of supporters and other local musicians attending the launch party.

Highlights in the bands career have included opening for the bands ‘Mansun’, ‘The Tears’ and ‘Journey’, all of which have been great influences to their music and praises from each further strengthened ‘audiotraffic’s’ hunger to succeed.

Through the many line up changes, the addition of a manager and the acquisition of their own studio, ‘audiotraffic’ has now become the core essence of what it started out to be.

Working with local producer ‘Dan F’, they are now recording their third studio album.
