Hans, you need to calm down and re-read the post. It lists the people you mention above as attending, not as Rock stars. If you’d like to add some info about the Hong Kong Rock scene in the past, please be our guest.

Hello Everybody:

The article is very interesting and the comments are insightful. I do not agree that rock in HK is dead; it just needs people to promote the concept of rock music. I am into the ’60 music and I still remember groups like the Lotus, Mystics, Fabulous Echoes and Teddy Robin were doing extremely well. Any idea how we can revive the music scene?

Exactly , Hong Kong is never into good music but just controlled music business
it is not an issue of rock or any kind of music Hong Kong canton pop produce crap most of all these years it’s sad as there are many great Hong Kong talents but only the same stupid talent you see for over 20 years in Hong Kong pathetic!

Frankly speaking, hong kong people are not in to western music and also not musical in a sense of groove. Unlike, japanese and filipinos they know what groove is, and can distinguish good music from crap.

Hi Adrian,

You missed the point. I’m talking about Rock as a popular, mainstream music form. Yes, there are still band events, but who goes? Mostly other bands! That’s a huge contrast to the popular success of the bands I mentioned as legends. I’m familiar with the above, and occasionally I post about band events. http://www.hongkonghustle.com/music/274/hong-kong-hardcore-band-show/

If there are any upcoming shows that promoters want listed, please feel free to use the Contact form and I’ll add them.

Interesting article – I can’t help but feel you’ve been missing out on all the other rock music that happens in Hong Kong – The Underground, Pier Pressure, bands at the Fringe, the Aberdeen Teenage Warehouse Shows, etc etc.
