  • Hong Kong bands & musicians! Your chance to be on Compilation CD #3!

    Thursday, Mar 5, 2009 11:59PM / News


    Hello everyone!

    We're so excited to announce that we are looking for Hong Kong bands who want to be included in our CD #3 - to be released later this year!

    =====================================================

    ATTENTION: HONG KONG BANDS!

    We believe that Hong Kong has one of the most vibrant underground music scene in the world today, and, to prove it, The Underground HK is planning to produce compilation CD #3 that will showcase the energy & creativity of Hong Kong in one easily accessed package for the world to see!

    We are now looking for bands to take part in this project.

    We want bands of alternative genre and priority will be given to bands who have performed or who will be performing in The Underground.

    Bands already on CD#1 and #2 are not eligible. This project is a joint collaboration with Mark 1 Studios.

    We are offering bands the chance to record two ORIGINAL tracks to be included and promoted on "The Underground Compilation #3". The recordings will take
    place at Mark 1 Studio (live recordings with vocals overdub). The Underground & Mark 1 Studio will pay all expenses to record, mix & produce your songs and
    include them in the compilation. We will promote the CD and sell it at all Underground gigs as well as distributing to record shops and online shops. Your
    band will also receive some free copies as well as the chance to purchase more at wholesale pricing on consignment.

    Bands who wish to apply should forward submissions and/or further questions by email to us at contact@undergroundhk.com

    Deadline for applications is 30 April 2009.

    Underground HK 正準備籌辦第三隻Compliation CD,以顯示香港地下音樂勢力的非凡活力和創作性!
     
    我們現正誠邀香港所有的Alternative 樂隊來參與製作這張唱片,曾經或將會在Underground 演出的樂隊將更加會被優先考慮。
     

    每一隊樂隊將會灌錄兩首原創歌曲,並收錄在「The Underground Compilation #3」CD內。錄音過程將會全部在Mark-1 Music Centre 進行,而所有錄音,混音與製作的費用將會由 Underground HK 和 Mark-1 Music Centre 承擔。完成的唱片將會在所有Underground 舉辦的活動銷售,亦會被分發到唱片店及網上作零售。
    參與樂隊可以以優惠價購買光碟,或以交託形式取碟。
     

    這項計劃是由 Underground HK 與 Mark-1 Music Centre 聯手合辦,有興趣者請聯絡
    contact@undergroundhk.com。
    截止日期: 2009 年4月30 日 

  • Time flies...!

    Friday, Dec 19, 2008 8:05PM / Standard Entry

    nearly the end of 2008 and what a stupendous year it has been for The Underground!   We finished up with Underground #74 although we've actually organised 82 shows since Underground #1....

    We've launched CD #1 in 2008, and captured live videos of the bands performing at The Underground.   We've had over 240 bands play at our shows since 2004...   We've donated money to Sichuan Relief Fund.  We've sold out of our Underground Tshirts.  We've sponsored JAM Festival and Global Battle of the Bands. 

    Betcha wondering what we're doing in 2009?  ;)   Wait and see!

    Meanwhile MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!   Wishing you all the creativity and all the joy that your life can bring to you.   See you in 2009!

    We're busy arranging the shows for November and December.   Then making plans for 2009.  Chinese New Year is rather early next year....      

    Hope people keep coming to our shows - old and new.   Thanks for your support!  Remember to join our mailing list if you want more updated info.

  • The new underground website is online!

    Woooohoooo!  Finally for all to see.  There are some missing bits but we figured its best to launch the site and then touch up some parts of it later.  Hope you enjoy it :)

  • AnD thanks for featuring us!

    Well our new website is nearly ready to launch - amazing to think that over 200 bands have played at our shows (more than 90% of them Hong Kong bands), that we're just about to release a Compilation CD box set (in fact #1 of many more we hope) and that big boys like Cathay Pacific think we're worth sponsoring.   And that we're adding a third venue to bring the 'lighter' side of The Underground to HK people ;)

    We all have Joe Bananas to blame for all this back then in April 2004.....

    Thanks to all the original live music lovers in HK!
