Please submit entries for the logo design competition (to appear on festival T-shirts, posters, stage backdrop and goodness knows where else) via email to thewanch@live.com by 11.59pm on 1 March. We'll rustle up some merch and booze prizes.

Due to the ongoing issues posed by COVID-19, we have decided to postpone our 16th Anniversary Party to June 27th; same location, same time, same bands.
The performers, Rula Live, and the Underground are committed to ensuring the safety of our patrons during this difficult time. We support the citywide efforts to protect each other and keep communities healthy, and look forward to celebrating with everyone on June 27th.
The early bird ticket sales will now be extended to 31st May 2020. If you prefer to get a ticket refund, please contact zicket.co.
Thank you for your continued support of the live music scene in Hong Kong!

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

The Underground is celebrating 16 years of supporting Hong Kong's thriving independent live music scene.

Dedicated to the artists themselves, to the performance spaces they call home, and to the amazing audiences who party with us...we want to throw a "thank you" bash like no other. Help us make it rock. Get yourself to Rula Live on April 25th for seven killer hours of music played by eight of HK hottest's bands!

The party opens with a blast, as Le Groupe Electrogène Fanfare Club march to their own beat. In what can only be described as hysterical, chaotic fun, these nutty Frenchmen will have you questioning your own sanity as well as theirs.

Next, up-and-coming All For One are set to snag the spotlight. Infectious power-pop beats and vibrato vocals are sure to send a tingle down your spine and a groove to your toes.

Popular local favourites stereo is the answer take a break from the recording studio, prepared to prove just how come this local quartet came to garner such widespread attention. Having won Asian Beat competitions as well as the Parsons x Underground Battle of the Bands contest in 2015, SITA are excited to ask the question that gives the answer: stereo, of course.

CryRomeo are fourth on the bill. Taking inspiration from the dangerous thrill of the moth to a flame, this striking four-piece delivers all the infectious, energetic glory of Brit pop.

Number five on our list is Seasons for Change, who perform for us fresh off the back of their debut album release with Famined Records. Having played tours and competitions globally, their refined blend of poppy, punchy punk rock is anything but generic.

Following on their heels are new kids on the block, Flying Daggers, whose unique avant-punk (in)sensibility threatens to shake up the airwaves!

Nu metal receives a modern-day revival as Loud Shaft step up to the plate. Winners of Planetrox China 2018, these Nepalese gents administer a heavy dose of rap metal to kick it up a notch and throw us back to the late 90s.

Finally, the evening closes loudly & proudly with ARKM, cranking the volume up to 11 with prog-rock metal bangers that will have the mosh pit going well into the early hours.

See you at Rula Live on Saturday April 25th to support The Underground: the only original music events company that that has kept Hong Kong ROCKING since 2004!

Come and spend an evening with the green community in Hong Kong to learn everything you need to know about composting - from how to compost in small spaces, to learning about all the composting options available in Hong Kong. 🌳

Hive Members:$100 / Non-Members:$120

The average household throws away 2 pounds of organic waste each day—vegetable cuttings, fruit peels, eggshells, coffee grounds, and yard trimmings that could instead be composted. When we discard organic waste, we not only lose precious landfill space but also miss out on a valuable resource that can help beautify parks, gardens, and lawns.

Join us at the Hive Sai Kung to learn from Hong Kong Community Composting on how you can get one step closer to living that zero waste lifestyle! ♻️

📍 Where: The Hive Sai Kung, 5 Tai Mong Tsai Road
📆 When: TBC, 6:00PM-7:30PM

When you share your situation and feelings with others…
Do you ever feel like you are NOT being heard?

When people you care about share their stories with you…
Do you wonder how your response could impact them?

This program is for YOU! Join us at Unearth Your Empathic Potential

PABO (a.k.a Julien Pradier) is back at 宀 Gallery with 【ＡＤＳＬ】 this June. The exhibition extends from SPACE DOOKIE (2019) while broadening the view of the artist/graphic designer’s experimental practice. 【ＡＤＳＬ】 presents both unique and limited edition works with PABO’s trademark approach to contemporary materials and techniques.

In this unprecedented time of social distancing, PABO explores digital connectivity. 【ＡＤＳＬ】 plays with the infinitely wild, World Wide Web, as a machine/human hybrid and finds amusement in a gilchy, retro-futuristic, cyber-monkey globe.

In the spirit of collectivity in the creative community, PABO invites guest artists to feature in the exhibition.

Julien is a visual artist and independent graphic designer. His aesthetics have made a mark on the underground scene in both Hong Kong and Paris, through design for electronic music parties such as “Technodrome” by Club Kowloon. His previous commercial clients include Saint-Laurent Paris, Fauchon, Shangri-La, Officine Panerai, Pernod Ricard, L'Oreal Paris and Absolut. Julien is a cutting-edge and experimental perfectionist. He is adaptive and communicates visually with on-point simplicity through both his commercial and personal practice.

HONG KONG AND ELSEWHERE: A HONG KONG STUDIES SYMPOSIUM—CALL FOR ABSTRACTS (Closing date: 30 March 2020)

A promotional video for the forthcoming third season of the award-winning TV show Westworld features the Hong Kong protests as the first event in what appears to be a sequence of predictions about the future in the United States, Indonesia, Argentina, France and Russia, leading all the way to 27 February 2058. This use suggests Hong Kong's ongoing democratic movement is knowledge common enough for an American audience to recognise, as news from Hong Kong has circulated beyond the city and the immediate region.

Though primarily a civil dispute pitting large numbers of Hongkongers against their government and the central government in Beijing, the Hong Kong protests also exist in a wider geopolitical context. They were but one of numerous popular uprisings across the world in 2019, where unrest raged in places as geographically diverse as Lebanon, Chile, Catalonia and Iran. The motive for each uprising was different and few of them were related to one another but people from each place saw echoes of their own experience in the others.

The protests also cast a shadow over Taiwan’s presidential election in January of this year, and jogged the memories of many older people, from Hong Kong and farther afield, of the Tiananmen Square uprising in 1989. Hong Kong protesters, meanwhile, called on the wider world to come to their help, which resulted in the United States Congress passing the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act.

This was a further reminder that Hong Kong, one of the world’s busiest ports, does not exist apart from the rest of the world, nor has it ever done. Ever since it was settled as a colonial outpost, the city has been a hub for immigrants, from mainland China, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, the former British Empire, and even Russia, following the 1917 revolution. This mixing of peoples and cultures has had a profound effect on the city, and has informed its own culture, its topography, its history and even its politics.

The city also has a resonance for international trade that extends beyond its status as a free port. “Made in Hong Kong” was a familiar sight on consumer products around the world from the 1960s to the 1980s, while since then the city has been a locus for capital flows in and out of the Greater China region.

The patterns of Hong Kong migration since the 1950s have also given the city a newly forged connection with distant parts as Hong Kong diasporas formed in countries such as Canada, Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom. In popular culture, two of Hong Kong's TV channels, TVB and ViuTV, have produced programs that feature Hong Kong people who have married a foreigner and settled overseas.

This conference, our third, aims to focus on Hong Kong’s relations with places beyond its borders, be they political, social, cultural, culinary, imaginary, or financial. Topics that might be considered for papers are colonial rule, migration, refugees and resettlement, protest and asylum provisions, Hong Kong’s relations with its neighbours and beyond—the mainland, Macau, Taiwan, and further away, Hong Kong food, health pandemics such as SARS and the current novel coronavirus, Hong Kong’s use of common law precedence, architecture, banking, financial crime, literary and cinematic representations of Hong Kong in local and foreign texts.

#AsiaRecruitmentAwards

Hong Kong based Techno collective Cipher is periodically going to take over 宀 for a whole new event named Cipher-X, a satellite event of Cipher, held at our sister club Acadana. This time for Cipher X-II, they are giving a 4h long space to Romi to play along Cipher residents Finsent C and Meta.

𝗦𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲: #𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼 #𝗔𝘁𝗺𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼 #𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼

----------------

𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗶 (𝗞𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻, 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗞𝗼𝗻𝗴)
Romi exposes imagination and thought by experimenting with sound to create his very own music vision. His sets reflect his wide musical background, yet carrying a very specific sound. His sound has developed into a strain of techno/house that is consistently directed towards generating an atmospheric abyss. His sets are deep, yet pure – even filled with a certain degree of emptiness, which invites the listener to get lost on an individual journey of possibilities.

𝗙𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖 (𝗖𝗶𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿, 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗞𝗼𝗻𝗴)
Finsent C is an artist native to Hong Kong, who has seen his sound evolve innumerably since his initial foray into DJing in 2009. Having been a drummer and member of a local band in his formative years, he eventually sought refuge in electronic music; cultivating a sound that can best be described as fluid, and with an emphasis on the hypnotic spectrum of techno. He perceives sets as flowing journeys, which requires time, and an element of patience to achieve.

His music project - Cipher, is a metaphor for his musical direction and vision – 'experiencing' parties that verge on the ritualistic, to which point they have been described as otherworldly. Artists both locally and internationally continue to be invited to express their various forms of deep, experimental and meditative sounds.

𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮 (𝗖𝗶𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿, 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗞𝗼𝗻𝗴)
Born and raised in North London, music has been a consistent undercurrent throughout meta's life; from his early days spent recording his favourite songs from the radio, and to the influences from his parents' and friends' selections.

Having initially focused on primarily playing psychedelic trance, an introduction to Sandwell District's revered 'Feed Forward' LP signalled the start of a new phase. A torrent of new influences then led meta on a meandering path of esoteric techno.

At present, meta avoids sitting in any one pocket; contented more with crossing over and exploring genre mutations. By embracing every personal musical imprint, he tries best to convey these broad elements onto the dance floor.With a growing reputation as a versatile taste-maker; meta's forward thinking yet nostalgic approach continues to draw praise. Based in Hong Kong, he is a resident of Cipher, and a regular selector on the local circuit.
