Well...I know what you mean but it's not quite that bad...we've had quite a lot of interesting underground developments going on in the last couple years. The overall scene has grown hugely since '95 (when I moved here from Tokyo), there was hardly a scene at all then. There was an interesting (if superficial) in Asiaweek magazine this week about the HK underground scene (with a mention of DCL, natch), you can check it at: <http://www.asiaweek.com/asiaweek/magazine/Life/0,8782,169837,00.html> It also mentions Slow-Tech Riddim, a local jazz/funk/post-rock/electronica band, and Jun Kung, an 'alternative' Chinese pop star from Macau who sometimes plays drums with us. Also check out <http://www.gwylorecords.com> for the latest info on the HK club scene.

That's Lan Kwai Fong...place where all the expat bizness peeps to hang out. Best place to see and be seen and get drunk and pass out. Feel free to write if you've got any more questions about the HK scene...
