DIESEL x TIMEOUT HK: We'll Make Your Album + CD Release Show

 

In June 2009, Time Out HK asked Hong Kong’s best unsigned bands to send

us three demo songs for a chance to have their album produced, distributed

and promoted all for FREE, alongside special bonus perks from Diesel:U:Music.

 

WMYA Top Prize included:

• Multiple feature stories in Timeout HK (Print and Web) including TWO cover stories

• Diesel Cult Corner setup for winning band, alongside music and video stream

• Cool Diesel gear

• Free airtime on Diesel:U:Music Radio

• Free studio time (at This Music Studio)

• Major Producer (Kenneth Tse of Invisible Men)

• Band consultation from artist and WMYA Ambassador Jun Kung

• Brand new album artwork from international artist Simon Birch

• Prominent in-store focal points and e-mail blast / e-store at HMV

• High-profile album release launch gig!

 

AFTER MUCH DEBATE, the winning band was announced in September and they are:

CHOCHUKMO!
