Live Review from 21st Anniversary Festival Day 1:
我就是哈比
Medley: 芳華絕代/大熱
痛的顏色
再見再見
木偶再遇記
We will meet someday
MIS are fresh on the scene, but they hit the stage like they’ve been doing this for years. They only just made their first appearance at Shazza Music Showcase—Chris B’s other event—and already, they’re making waves. Fronted by Warren on vocals and Terrance, who bounced between keytar, rhythm guitar and vocals, the band also featured Bee shredding on lead guitar, Harry leading the charge on bass (and clearly the band’s anchor), 祥仔 covering both keyboard and flute, and 馬仔 holding it all together behind the drums. For a band that’s only a few months old, they already knew how to put on a show—and more importantly, how to connect with a crowd.
They opened with “我就是哈比”, which started with a jiving tune and a confident, almost cheeky stage presence. The main vocalist had command, but what made the moment really addictive was how the crowd joined in instantly. There was a moment where people actually made a circle around him while he sang—that’s how much energy he gave off. The chorus was super catchy, especially with the three vocalists layering together. It stopped as abruptly as it started. Boom. Statement made.
“芳華絕代/大熱” followed and was one of the most unique moments of the night. Think Mission Impossible meets Cantopop. The groove was tight, but it was the synths that stole the show—giving the sound an eerie, almost magical atmosphere. I swear there were spooky elements fit for Halloween. The solo by the synth/keyboard was so sharp it cut through the room like a haunted whistle. The crowd couldn’t stop bouncing. Even when the vocals were slightly drowned out, the vibe stayed strong.
With “痛的顏色”, we shifted gears. This one started with a piano/keyboard duet, which gave it a really theatrical, almost cinematic feel. The vocals entered with warmth, and the rest of the band joined in piece by piece. The whole thing reminded me of a Bryan Adams-style soft rock ballad—but twisted through MIS’s quirky, genre-bending lens. There was a rising swell in the chorus that really stuck with me. A great change of pace.
Then came “再見再見”, and wow. This one leaned into the softer side of the set. A slow build, relying heavily on piano to carry the emotion. The vocals here were crystal clear—so sweet and clean that I stopped taking notes just to listen. When the guitar, bass and drums crept in, they didn’t overpower; they lifted it. The sway in the room was real. I wrote, this is like the final goodbye. They closed it out with a gentle repeated line of “再見… goodbye,” then let the guitar trail off. It felt like the perfect place to end. Honestly, it should have ended there.
But nope. “木偶再遇記” came next. The opening was interesting, but then—BOOM!—the band came in too loud, and it took a few moments before things settled so we could actually hear the lyrics. That said, once they found their groove, this song hit hard. Big energy. The chorus felt like something built for an encore… so I laughed when they actually kept going. People were jumping all around me. MIS had the room by the throat.
It was already after midnight when they launched into the encore—but no one was leaving.
They came back with “We will meet someday”. Ooh wow woah—the moment they started, the energy shifted. The vocals were beautifully executed, but what really stood out was the way they sang: using staggered vocals, where one singer would begin a line just as the other finished theirs. This was a celebration, connection, and the perfect way to say goodbye.
MIS might be new to the Underground stage, but they played like veterans. Charisma, chaos, sweetness, and synths? Yes. More of this.
Did you feel that too, or were you just too busy dancing?

UDG21｜MIS｜年輕Boy Band的狂野warm remind
文字音符：Boy sound power、愛講大道理的年輕主唱，是世代令他有感而發、樂器音色與樂手髮色一樣豐富、密語藏在熱血歌詞與意外老派的曲風中
睇完香港樂隊MIS 嘅live，觀眾嘅精神面貌應該年輕咗幾歲；呢隊Boy嘅energy…..好純！
先入為主，最初望到台上6位Boy的造型，腦中彈起「MK」兩隻字，以Boy band嚟講其實算係難得——所以當MIS一表演，佢哋個種Boy Sweet、強勁編曲嘅反差對我更具吸引力。
所謂「不可叫人小看你年輕」，呢隊後生Band仔嘅觀賞性絕對夠強，而且夠薑；開場其中一首歌就翻唱梅姐《芳華絕代》，可以話係未x死過，翻唱此曲者，多被梅姐風姿隔代籠罩，難有驚喜詮釋，至於由Band仔重新編曲翻唱又會如何呢？Umm，結論嚟講無可奈何地難同原唱睇齊，但佢哋亦無需追求呢樣嘢；《芳華絕代》喺MIS身上成為咗同觀眾拉緊距離嘅表演，Vocal Warren模仿梅姐撩人台姿，扮嘴Band mate，更重要嘅係佢選擇行落台，（扮）嘴埋觀眾一份，一嘢定調樂隊Fun個性。Band仔要如何演繹此級數的經典名曲，MIS某程度係 get到的。
6位Boy同台，難免逼啲，尤其仲有長笛、Keyboard同Keytar樂器同場（這也是MIS觀賞性高的原因），可能都因為咁樣Warren多咗行落台同觀眾互動，而佢確實有兩招辣㷫全場嘅招數，作為表演者嚟講係Nice的！去到MIS原創歌曲，有驚喜，驚喜在於無諗到佢哋係呢種路線同曲風，《我就是哈比》、《木偶再遇記》，有自嘲有熱血，有搖滾有希望，歌詞亦好係一個年青BOY角度出發，直率有力，尤其《木偶再遇記》有種往昔「動畫主題曲」嘅感覺，編曲豐富，令人感覺熟悉又新奇；而呢種音樂風格亦發揮到MIS獨有嘅年青energy，Nice！
Warren每首歌完咗都會講吓經，從內容上feel到佢係好真摯同溫柔嘅人，成隊Band嘅energy都好pure，最後收尾嘅慢歌《再見再見》、《We will meet someday》亦係對呢座城市、對香港人、對成長嘅寄語，Damn，又pure又true的年青人啊，希望呢種溫柔會隨音樂陪你哋到老，你多次強調到的「香港樂隊」身份能夠一直令你哋自豪。
不過呢，從整體演出而言，雙Vocal（Warren & Terrance）嘅聲線辨識度都唔算太高，加上樂器底聲豐富，人聲易被蓋過，想令觀眾留低印象就要從唱腔下手，相信隨住演出經驗增加會逐漸捉摸到的～加油！
