–POSTPONED–
On Sunday 6th of December, a new music festival is landing in Hong Kong to cure those 2020 blues. Rising from the ashes of a tough year for live music, the Wild Boar Music Festival is determined to revamp gigs as you know them. Showcasing some of the best Hong Kong bands in a COVID Responsible outdoor setting, get ready for a full afternoon and evening of musical antics!

2020是艱辛的一年，為了幫大家洗去憂愁，全新的音樂節將於星期日，12月6日隆重登場。

The Underground is proud to announce the launch of Noise Origin- a print-on-demand website that showcases the unique designs and logos as created by the Hong Kong musicians you know and love. Whether it be a favourite band, musician, music venues or music school, flaunt your support by copping some merch!

The idea came about as Chris B (founder of The Underground) was brainstorming ways for bands to supplement their revenue during this pandemic-induced rocky patch for live music. “When I read that Fender had sold more guitars in 2020, I thought – wow, what else are people buying? Asking around, it seems they are buying ANYTHING cool,” Chris B mused. “As I’m involved in the music scene here, it seemed a natural idea to launch an e-commerce venture pulling into focus the very community I’m trying to help.” 

Noiseorigin.com promises an exciting visual experience as shoppers can select a band design and superimpose it onto T-shirts, kids apparel, hoodies, tote bags, and even masks. For every item purchased on the website, around 40% of the net profit will go directly to the musician or band.

Nate Wong, drummer & founder of jazz band Wong Way Down, is one artist who submitted their designs to the website.”We are excited to be part of Noise Origin. It gives us a chance to get our gear out to our supporters and is another income stream during this difficult time for working musicians.”

Jonathan Synn, singer/guitarist from local band The Sulis Club, is also pumped to be a part of Noise Origin. “We discussed [it] as a band and thought it was an awesome opportunity for us, as well as all the other bands. We can focus on our music, without worrying about merch.”  The factory that is collaborating with The Underground has been in the garment printing business for nearly 10 years- so not only will patrons be supporting local artists, but a locally run business too!

The Underground非常高興能夠宣布網站Noise Origin的成立！Noise Origin是一個按需打印網站，專門展示由香港音樂人創作的獨特設計和標誌。不論是你最愛的樂隊、音樂人、音樂場地還是音樂學校，均包羅萬有。趕快瀏覽網站並購入網站商品，展現你的支持吧！網站概念來自TheUnderground創辦人Chris B。她希望以具創意的方式為樂隊籌集部份收入，好讓他們能在肺炎肆虐期間渡過難關，減低肺炎對現場音樂造成的打擊。

Chris B指出：「當我知道Fender在2020年賣出更多結他時，我正在想──哇，人們還會購買甚麼東西呢？一問之下，發現他們買的都是有型的東西！因為我正從事音樂行業，所以自然而然地，便有了創辦網上商店的念頭，希望藉此支持我一直嘗試提供協助的社群。」
Noiseorigin.com保證提供刺激過癮的視覺體驗。顧客可選擇樂隊設計，並將其印在T恤、兒童服裝、連帽衛衣、手攜袋，甚至是口罩上。網站上每件商品約百分之四十的利潤將會直接歸入該樂隊或音樂人。

爵士樂隊WongWay Down創立人及鼓手Nate Wong是其中一個將設計遞交至網站的音樂人。他說：「我們很高興能成為Noise Origin的一份子。網站為我們提供機會，使我們能向支持者展示才能。此外，面對全球肺炎的嚴峻狀況，網站亦是各音樂人的另一收入來源。」

本地樂隊TheSulis Club 的結他手暨主唱Jonathan Synn能加入成為Noise Origin的一份子。他說：「與樂隊成員的討論後，我們認為網站對我們和其他所有樂隊都是一個很好的機會。我們可以專注於音樂，毋須過份憂慮商品的一切。」

與TheUnderground合作的工廠已有近十年的服裝印刷經驗，所以支持網站不但能為本地音樂人帶來收入，亦能同時支持本土商戶！

請瀏覽NoiseOrigin，獲得最入型入格的樂隊商品，並展現你對本地音樂的支持！
