• Let's Fight Jam last night...

  2007-05-06 10:46PM / 標準BLOG

  Had a fun time last night with some of the main people who will be playing this song this Friday and Saturday night! :-) Paul wasn't there because he wasn't feeling well...so it was me, Joseph (Hardpack), Seasons Lee, Johnny (was filling in for Glenn - Shepherds the Weak/Hardpack), Sik (Sonic Temple)...
  
  We just got together to see how this song was going to be pieced together for all the singers who we'll be jamming with on Tuesday...I do wish that Kevin (Hardpack) was here!!! I haven't jammed with my ol' brother in some sort of musical endeavor since he left KLC in '05! But the dude is busy building a life in music so he's traveling the world doing what he has to do! I'm proud of you bro!
  
  We all thought it was going to be a bit tougher then it turned out to be! :-) Thanks to Seasons awesome work he had the whole thing all timed and ready for us to just come in and do our parts...
  
  This is going to be a fun weekend man!!!
  
  For those who know King Ly Chee...we're playing the second night and will be playing the following songs:
  
  1. Skinless
  2. She
  3. Refuse
  
  We're only going to play 3 songs because we're pretty sure everything is going to run over time...so to just help with everything we'll play fewer so you can watch Paul for longer! :-)
  
  Can't wait!!!
  
  Peace,
  Riz

• You want HK punk rock? Check out The Squawk!

  2007-05-05 10:11AM / 標準BLOG

  You want punk rock? Check out this fucking amazing new Hong Kong punk rock band called The Squawk!! Dude...they're SOOOOOOOO good...really have that more aggressive style of punk rock in their music and vocals. Think "The Casualties" for those kids who know their punk rock! :-) They also have some songs that have an old school hardcore feel too...can't go wrong with that! hahahaha...

  The lyrics to "Scene Categorized" have spoken to me big time...especially these last few years:
  
  "I see people are so fake,
  they are looking for something,
  something which gonna destroy the scene."
  
  Enjoy! Support your local Hong Kong bands!
  
  Peace,
  Riz

• Why international kindergartens rule...

  2007-05-04 1:19PM / 標準BLOG

  This is a picture of us celebrating "International Day" here at our school. This is a day where all the different nationalities that are present in this school are all celebrated. In any given classroom, up to 20 different countries are represented by all the wonderful kids that go to this school!!!
  
  In this photo we got one girl representing China, one representing Sweden, one representing India...and the big goof ball in the middle representing Pakistan :-)
  
  It's just so amazing for children to be able to grow up in this type of environment where they get to meet and get exposed to other children of such different backgrounds...

• Teaching Kindergarten

  2007-05-03 12:05PM / 標準BLOG

  Dude...most of you probably don't know this but my day time job is teaching Kindergarten at Hong Kong International School (I'm actually a TA but in the Kindergarten level we teach along side the teachers because the kids are so young). It's an awesome job just because it's one of the few jobs where you get to feel the impact that you can leave on the future pretty much immediately.
  
  Funny stories are abound...just now the kids (I'm at school now) had swimming and got changed back into their school uniform. One of the kids wore his shirt backwards on purpose (remember 5 years old) and spent the whole lunch time with his shirt on backwards. He loved all the attention he was being given by the other kids...it was actually hilarious and I wish I had gotten a pic...
  
  Actually wait, I'll got get a picture of him right now! hahaha...
  
  Seeya in a bit!

  OKAY - i'm back...here are some photos of this little awesome kid! :-)

• What up ALIVENOTDEAD!

  2007-05-02 7:15PM / 標準BLOG

  Damn! We are psyched with this website! Not only is the layout insane but the dudes behind this thing are AWESOME! We love you Mark! We did an awesome little interview with them last night and next thing you know, this page is up for us to check out to give them the "thumbs up"!

  Anyway...we're super grateful that these guys have given us a page. It means so much to us that after all these damn years of struggling in this HK music "scene", that we still have people who are ready to help push and encourage us further...it's been a strange couple of years for us in this band as many of you who know us can attest to. Things have changed more times then I care to remember and with each change we feel like we've fallen back a number of years. But - what doesn't kill you makes you stronger right?

  After completing our recent Asian tour with NOFX you can bet that we're back pumped up then we've ever been. This band is fired up to take back the things that have been missing these past few years. This band is fired up to fight for a future that we can only dream of - but that we are ready to die trying. We know there's so much against us...there always will be for any band in Hong Kong but even more for a band that plays the type of music that we play (loud + abrasive = zero-commercial value hahaha...).

  But thanks to alivenotdead and our faithful friends, supporters and other caring Hong Kong bands - we'll keep going.

  Peace and see you at Paul's fucking LET'S FIGHT SHOW!!! THOSE TWO DAYS ARE GOING TO BE THE BIGGEST THING TO HAPPEN FOR UNDERGROUND BANDS IN HONG KONG'S HISTORY!!!
  
  See you all...

  THANK YOU AGAIN ALIVENOTDEAD FOR DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING FOR HONG KONG!
  
  Peace,
  Riz
