The Underground is a treasure trove of information on the local music scene and it’s getting bigger all the time. They have thousands of reviews of live performances available on their site for you to browse. They're committed to helping local artists kickstart their international careers and connect them to the world; they also work with festivals and other event producers to get top acts from our area on the line-ups.
In addition to their live events and event coverage, The Underground should be your first stop for Hong Kong's music news and local CD reviews. They also feature exclusive interviews with local bands that allow you to peek behind the curtains of the Hong Kong music scene. The Underground has selected some of the tastiest live music shows happening this month and shared them with us. To be considered for a future pick or ask them to review your shows, contact them!
