I hung out with my very good friend Rob today... He's an upcoming tattoo artist and hopefully I'll get him on board the AnD train soon.... At the moment he's an apprentice at Star Crossed Tattoo in TST... He showed me this wicked picture and it has loads of artists/bands... see if you can spot them... There are a total of 72.... Don't Cheat... the best my friends got was 51!!!
I only got to see the pic for a minute or so but i got these 'Alice in Chains', 'Pixies', 'Beach Boys', 'Crowded House', 'Corner Shop', 'Cowboy Junkies', 'Garbage'... and sooooooo on...

Good luck.. And no... there's no prize for this... but you'll get my respect!

Under the weather...

Crap! Just like my bro Kev, I too have caught the flu... Nonono... it wasn't from making out with Kev or holding hands like we always do... this time it was form the damn dust from moving house... I am now officially Jto's flat mate... and boy was it a tough move... no lift!!!! 4th floor!!! Heavy shit...Thankfully I hired muscle to deal with that stuff...

I had a great weekend playing a show at pop bites covering some old suede songs and playing 2 of ours acoustic/electric... thanks to our old friend Chi Chung for that one! Then we ran down to the 24 Herbs gig as soon as we could... Manage to catch the last 3 songs and give love after the show... Then the CID came in to bust up the club and everyone had to be quiet... Man I held in my 'Respect the Pok Guy!' until they left... And then we all partied on the night away... Good thing they didn't come during the show... I'd hate that... almost as I hate loud members of the audience talking to each other in front of a live acoustic performance...

So nothing new to report really... AT have been pretty much busy with meetings, moving and mixing... Not sure when our next gig is but we are playing for Josie Ho on the 25th (on da beach) and the 1st (I think) but yes I do smell an Audiotraffic Album soon... I mean real soon...

Rock on!!!

no hugs and kisses this time... wouldn't want you to get sick....

Gimme a C...

Gimme a E...

Gimme a 3 hour set including 2 encores!!!!
Whatcha got???

A Freaking awesome show!!! Wow!!! I only decided to go to see this show on a spur of a moment decision influenced by Jto!!! As I was really saving myself for NIN!!!! (September)..So off we went and joined the AnD crew... Wow!!! Mr. Robert Smith still has it... Even though I wasn't so hot on his new material... still rocked!!! The crowd was great too and went nuts when the classics went on... I was a little disappointed when MUSE played at the asia expo basement... I truly thought they deserved to play the main hall. It would have sounded a lot better and louder... When I was at muse i could hear out of tune singing fans more than i could hear Matt from Muse... Ohh well at least I got to see my fave song live that day (Citizen Erased).... Well thank goodness the cure came and made it up for me...

But still the best concert I've ever been to in HK was 10 years ago!!! When the FOO FIGHTERS, SONIC YOUTH and THE BEASTIE BOYS came down and rocked QE stadium!!! I remember buying a foo's Tshirt and the concert never started untill the QE staff cleared all the chairs form the lower front row area... The bands must have come to take a peek and said.. WTF???? Seats for a rock concert???? Well it's a good thing they did coz the crowd would have ripped the chairs apart!!! Most memorable moment was when I needed to take a break from the moshing and jumping round upstairs... So I joined some friends up stairs by some seats and during Bboys 'Sabotage'.... The whole Foo crew came out on stage and jumped about and Dave Ghrol screamed down the mike... unfortunately I was pretty close to a main speaker and that scream penetrated me!!! Sweeeeet i was penetrated by Dave Ghrol!!!! wahahahahhaa!!!

Well I hope to see you all at NIN... that's gonna rock big time!!!!

Love, hugs and kisses...

Don

It's Been WAY TOO LONG!!!!

OK Adrian and myself... we were in Shanghai (nice place... great food) to play in Soler's band with our good friend Skot at the 'live earth' show. Some pics below and check out the videos at www.liveearth.org

We had another show at Yo park the other day with the members of our family Hardpack, Ryan and Josie.... I have to say it was surprisingly good and Ferddie and Kev were on FIRE!!!! The crowd went nuts on every crazy ass fill they did!!!.. Before the show I was a bit iffy on the venue but to my surprise the sound was quite good and the atmosphere was groovy. Each member of the crowd were given a glow stick and a whistle... Bless the HK style... Would have been better if they handed out 2 glow sticks instead of one to the crowd... for obvious reasons... Heeheeheehee! Well all our recordings and mixies are pretty much done... Artwork and CD sleeve ready to go ... Just one last little recording and we're there baby!!! So we are dawning close to releasing the album... I know I know it's about bloody time... yeahyeahyeah!! Way too long!!! Yeahyeahyeah!!!
anyhooo the boyz and myself have been rocking and trying out new tracks at rehearsals... so hopefully you will all be treated to some new tunes soon... I kinda like our new approach to writing and the styles we are incorporating... Keep you posted on more shows here!!!
Other than that....

Rock on!!!

Hugs and kisses.......Don

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.
