Live Review from Underground 54:
Faye – Lok – Lun – Kelvin - Cheong Right from their sound check, this band signaled fast, loud, bold. Awesome kicking drums and strong vocals marked their style. Part Goth/ post-punk, hardcore and metal - the crowd really liked them. Faye’s vocals had substantial power to carry themselves competently over the crashing drums and strong bassline rhythms. She seemed to have two types of good noise-making - depressed and guttural or loud and screamed. The small lead singer said their songs were mainly new, which proved all good as they had a fresh sound about them. I’m too stupid to speak Cantonese so I don’t know what insights she had to share in the words, but whatever it was it sounded pretty real and reasonable. Faye, with her funky, almost-surreal orange caramel hair, is cool, cocky, wild and friendly. The rest of the band were the tall silent types who went about providing good, solid backing to her way of doing things.
They’ve only been around for 9 months but they’re already good dark musicians. Aware, sensing and intuitive. Ballsy and defiant.
