Post punk musicThe indie sound has a long history,going back almost to the time of the Velvet Underground.I want to talk about some of those classic indie bands as well as the upcoming Hong Kong bands they influenced.
My Little airport @ Videotage
Bands who don't use English
As well as talking about local hk bands I want to talk about other bands who use languages other than English like Sigur Ros or who are purely instrumental like Explosions in The Sky as their music is similar in spirit to the best indie acts in Hong Kong like Elf Fatima ,The Fragile and The Dummy.Of course in Hong Kong and China the situation is more interesting with some great dual language bands like Carsick Cars ,Mylittleairport and many others..
