What's up people This is Joseph blogging here, nothing much happened to Hardpack these days as Kevin off to Aus/Japan visiting his family so the rest of us are just chilling here..

Just wanna show you guys a pic of KK, he was chilling in bandroom, studying horses scatching his feets with a pair of silk boxer.



Hardpack will be playing Poly Muso AP again! We will be playing that not-so-new new song again, we won't upload that new song in the next 10 years so you don't have choice, come to see us live, give us some love. Peace.

Thanks to CBfresh for the funny video and the love and support we are sure that people did learn how to survive a hardpack show...Thanks to Josie, Jun, Joey Tang and phat for comin down to sing with us!!....Now i know why bands thank so many people when they have their own cd release shows and all that cus to make it happen,Its not just the band but its the people around them that help so in our case ALIVENOTDEAD.COM made it happen!!!!....Thanks sooo much guys!!!! We finally pulled it off!!!!!...

To be honest we were already quite tired when we got on stage cus we had been rehearsin the nite b4 and i have been workin non stop and early set ups movin equipment and all that but when we got on stage to see the turn out and the love everyone was showing and the redbull kickin in we mangaed to go all out and do the best we can!!!!!.. We had soooo much fun on stage especially when askin the guest's to come up, It was soo much fun!!!!... It was sooo much fun rearranging jun and joey tangs songs into a hardpack sound and jollly jun and joey tang rocked soooo hard!!!!!  Josie no more to be said is always rockin hard!!! Lookin out to the audience seeing people go crazy is just such an encouragment for us to keep going and going,This not only being a celelbration for hardpacks cd, Its also a celebration for us cus we have just finished an era of hardpack,having member changes,We are proudly to say that We are moving on into another level....Its the beginning of a new era for us so if u dig our stuff be sure to watch out for the new stuff!!.....

BTW if anyone form overseas is reading this please try and get a copy of the cd from the below link and yes try and get a t-shirt as well cus u might be able to get canto-pop from ur local cd shop in chinatown but i am sure its hard for u to find canto-punk there...
