Holy shit...
I needed an entire day and a half to recover from this crazy ass weekend full of the most awesome King Ly Chee shows possible...
It started with our Horse the Band show on Friday which went OFF INSANELY!!! Thanks to everyone that came out to it to make it such a fucking success. And when I mean success I mean S U C C E S S!!! We managed to pay off everyone, pay Horse the Band, and EVEN PAY THE OPENING BANDS!!! To us, as HK bands, we know how far a few hundred dollars can go so we are excited that we made enough to pay all our brothers in the opening bands something for coming out to support us and the show. It was great...
Then - as tired as hell as we were from not just playing the Horse the Band show, but actually organizing it and having to move all the equipment there and back, plus taking care of the nice dudes in the band...we had to get up early on Saturday morning to take a 2 hour train ride up to Guangzhou for a show.
We played in Guangzhou last August and it was one of the most passionate shows we had played in a long time. When we went up there last time the kids up there new all the words to songs that we hadn't even released. Just songs that were floating on our myspace or other music websites, they had them memorized and were singing them back. So even though we were exhausted beyond belief, we knew the show was going to be worth going up to rock out with the GZ posse of kids...
When we arrived there...we weren't disappointed...there were already tons of people there ready for us. Of course, we had just released our free EP so we couldn't wait to see how they were going to react to all those songs. Sure enough, as soon as we started playing, mics were everywhere, bodies were everywhere, kids literally were losing their shit...shoes, keys, clothes! hahahahahaha...
It was an incredible weekend...the perseverance of this band and the love and support that we get is what pushes this band and keeps us going no matter what...
Our next show is GOING TO BE ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS WE HAVE EVER PLAYED AND ORGANIZED!!! MARK MY WORDS!!!
APR 27 - the biggest hardcore band to ever come to Hong Kong: COMEBACK KID is going to come and destroy our shores...
Keep a look out for more information about this show...it's going to be the best thing to ever happen for punk/hardcore in HK. THAT'S FOR SURE!!!
SEE YOU ALL AGAIN SOON!!!
Thank you so much for the kind words of encouragement...we take them all to heart!!!
Peace,
Riz
