Live Review from Underground 38:
Industrial beats meets hard rocking musicians. I thoroughly enjoyed Airtub's set. Kenny (great vocalist/rapper with charisma) fronts the band with fluid skill. I have a copy of their EP (Re-ignition) and found myself singing along to "Confusion". Marcus (keyboards) brings a richness to Airtub or maybe it's Airtub that brings a richness to his symphonic sounds. Airtub is definitely one of the best HK bands and I highly recommend you watch them live and listen to their EP. Mark Emerson |

Live Review from Underground 15:
This morphing rock band headlining tonight are sounding like a great Seventies progressive rock band ("Camel" with keyboards meets some vintage "Groundhogs" and a little bit of "Linkin Park"). The songs are entwined with dreamy keyboards. The power ballads are very Nineties style with the singer emoting like Journey's Steve Perry, and the music very"Barclay James Harvest sounding like Moody Blues". The fourth track has shades of Alien Ant Farm. Overall the buzz about this band is justified. The crowd adore them, their performance is tight. The audience cry for more and leave satisfied. Airtub - one of Hong Kong's better bands. Nick Lovatt |

Live Review from Underground 1:
AIRTUB are Kenny Ngai (vocals and guitar), Derek To (guitar), Edwin Cheung (bass) and David Mak (drums). They played Underground 1 and were up against the formidable Audiotraffic and PNS and came off very well. A melodic mixture of aggressive punk and pop, some of heir songs are already classic.. The band admit they owe a debt of gratitude to HK legendary rockers BEYOND, and that influence can be heard in some of their earlier music.. The band debuted at Rock On 2001 and have since performed in high profile gigs like the Global Chinese Rock Concert, Wanchai Live VII and a recent fund-raising concert for Amnesty International. They've also recorded a ballad for the soundtrack of Moonlight Express starring Leslie Cheung and the feature song fors and tones are more flexible than in their native language. It has been said that AirTub are inaccessible. These people must be living in space. AirTub...start to pogo! Alex Yip
