not magazine
Danielle picked this up from her friend’s store Konzepp. Not Magazine from China is only 6 months old and has published the 4th issue by now. I was reading the editor’s note which described how difficult it is for their small team to sustain and by far, already 3 staff have left the team remaining the core people who carries with them the ambition, the vision and the mission. I wish them a fruitful year of 2012 and persist to bring us abundant inspiration.

Don’t you just feel like to have more outdoor music event after going to the Clockenflap earlier? The Laneway Festival is here again and there would be one holding in Singapore next February 12. In their own words, “The Laneway Festival is about leading new and revered seminal music. The festival has always been interested in finding what’s fresh and great and bringing it to unique settings and surrounds to be appreciated by music lovers. The size of the festivals, the locations and the way we encourage community all form part of the way in which the Laneway team strive to present an urban music experience like no other.”

sunny clockenflap 2011
Clockenflap + 2 full days of glorious weather = unforgettable and chilly fun tunes in the open air! Took a few snaps of our studio friends Jing Wong from Daydream Nation and Jay from China Stylus. The venue at West Kowloon is great, we just need more, more, more of these events in Hong Kong!
Jing mesmerizing the crowd with his acoustic guitar and harmonica at the same time!
Jay FC on the other booth is spinning some techno tunes, everyone is high!
bamboo theater
Preservation of art and history has always been a hot topic in Hong Kong and particularly more so in the past decade. Some of you might recall the debate about the relocation of the Star Ferry Pier, the decision of the SCAD Hong Kong taking over the North Kowloon Magistracy which was acutely been fought over by the Cantonese opera group. Cantonese opera has been quite a niche interest especially for the silver hair population. To revitalize attention of this special culture amongst the mass public, the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority has initiated the establishment of a Bamboo Theater to promote the merits of this local music culture. This event marks the debut performance of the WKCD for next year and we certainly do look forward to experiencing more mind enlightening events like this for the new year.
