What up ladies, gents, children, celebrities, nobodies, socially awesome, socially retarded, what-have-yous...
This is your favorite Hong Kong-raised Pakistani back to torment you on how you should give up on all your mainstream-celebrity dreams and begin to feel the beauty and power of a screamy little HK band called King Ly Chee. That's right - we're here still kicking 10 years down the road...
Anyway - today's MAIN installment is more of a HUGE thank you to our friends at HK's most amazing clothing label Knowledge (I got two pairs of their new shorts last week and I swear to god that I've even been sleeping in them - they're that fucking good). When you thank Knowledge of course you also have to thank 8five2 Skateshop as well as 24 Herbs...I think all 3 of these things go hand-in-hand as do the names " Annie" and " Brian, JBS, Siswojo King Muchacho, etc"...Check out their website: http://www.8five2.com/
(The shorts I'm talking about are:
Why are we thanking them? Because they have really shown what "support" is all about. It's nice to get the support of people like these guys to help promote my band to those pockets of people who otherwise would never knew we existed, or have built up their own pre-conceived notions about me or King Ly Chee. We actually are very nice guys...REALLY! Hehehe...
Annie sent me a set of "5 Questions" last week which quickly turned out to me delivering back 5 essays to each question...hehehehehehehe...yes, I'm outspoken and have way too much to say. Whether or not anyone else cares to read these things is another story. As Annie pointed out to me - the world of Twitter exploded because people are just too lazy to read now. All they want is their 150 characters of crap like "I took a shit today" from their favorite celebrity and that's it. Anything more and it's more like a turn off...
Oh well - guess to those who will click on to this interview and notice that there are definitely more than 150 characters present, I will continue to be a turn off. :-) Hehehehehehe...
Good times good times...
Yo Annie and Brian: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!! You have no idea how much it means...

PS: For those people living in Hong Kong - King Ly Chee is playing (and have organized) probably one of the biggest hardcore shows you are going to see in Hong Kong for a very LONG time. The info is below - it features one of the world's largest current hardcore bands Terror (from LA, USA):
