Last Saturday I went to live gig at Kwun Tong. Apparantly it is the place to go for live gigs. Well the venue was kind of …freaky. It was in an industrial complex. It was huge…many corridors…like in a horror movie and you’re running around in circles, lost, while some masked scythe-wielding monster is after you…
Or perhaps one of those warehouses where the eyewitness has been kidnapped by the triad, and they are about to rape and kill her >_>
One could seriously imagine triad executions being held behind those heavy metal doors…
Well, of course all that just made the place more interesting XD
It has added to my ‘Hong Kong experience’ of course.
We watched 4 out of 5 bands. They weren’t particularly good…except for the 2nd one I guess. The singer had a nice mellow low voice.
The third band wasn’t too bad. The singer had a rather …unexpected voice. In the sound check his voice was quite normal, but when he started singing he put on this…smashing pumpkins/wheatus high pitched voice. I guess I got a bit disappointed. But his fast songs a bit later on in the set were not too bad.
The fourth band had the most style. The female guitarist and bassist had fashionable mullets. Made me want to get one too! And the lead singer had the most awesome wrap-around glasses. It would be so cool to get a pair of those. The ?lead guitarist also had those rock moves XD
However, that is not to say they sounded good. The singer here too adopted an extremely jarring, high-pitched wailing scream thing. Wheatus on crack.
After that band, we decided to not stick around for the 5th band. Oh well. Oh and I had a really nice chocolate mousse cake that I got at the MTR station for $8 only.
All the photos from that day are here.
Slideshow for that day: here.

EDIT: BTW, I added in a bit of stuff in the previous entry. So at least it describes the new touristy experience I had and not just to movie XD
===
EDIT 2:
BTW, it was great fun being able to see clearly even from the back. In Australia, the people are taller. Here, the girls are so short than I’m average, nay, often times above average height! It’s a great feeling!
Oh, and how is the new altered layout? It may not look like much but I’ve spent many hours on it -_-
I removed a bunch of images and transparent .png images too. So it should look almost fine in MSIE as well (urgh msie! support standards!!)
At least I learnt alot about cascading style sheets. CSS is great. no need for tables!
