New Found Glory Live in Indonesia!

Pop punk veterans New Found Glory confirmed last night via Twitter that they'll be playing in Indonesia next February! Set to be held at the Senayan Tennis Indoor Stadium in Jakarta, New Found Glory are the seminal pop punk band that formed in Florida in 1997, and are widely regarded to have set the template for the pop punk sound.
Composed of vocalist Jordan Pundik, guitarists Chad Gilbert (who was once a member of Shai Hulud) and Steve Klein, bassist Ian Grushka and drummer Cyrus Booloki, New Found Glory put out their first record on an independent label, selling 300, 000 copies of Nothing Gold Can Stay- a remarkable accomplishment for a band that two years earlier released a home-recorded EP to popular aplomb. Typically fusing hardcore breakdowns with the poppiest of choruses, New Found Glory have blazed the trail for many of today's biggest bands like All Time Low and Paramore.

When: 23rd February 2011

For more details check out the Facebook event page. Song list is already up there. Don't worry, you are in good hands. You will be accompanied by the very talented band, Return Of Saturn.

AAA (Japanese Group)


AAA is a super performance unit consisting of seven co-eds. On September 14th, 2005, they debuted as an eight member group performing their single "Blood on Fire".

At the end of 2005, AAA received the best new performer award in the "47th Japanese Record Contest". This accomplishment happened less than four months after their debut.
On September 13th, 2006, just a year after their debut, AAA performed live at Nihon Budoukan. Roughly ten thousand fans showed up to support them.

On June 11th, 2007, one of the members, Yuri Goto, withdrew from AAA.
Amongst their singing and dancing talents, each of the members performs in Hollywood Movies and TV dramas as actors and actresses. They also perform on the theatrical stage; take the lead as an MC for TV programs; and work as models. AAA is a very energetic group. We expect to see them continuing their activity in the far future.

分析雷颂德 [analyzing mark lui]


there's no doubt that the whole hk cantopop industry is pivoted on mark lui [雷颂德], and mark lui alone. i can't imagine 90s and the new milennium cantopop without him. if mark lui were to die today then the whole cantopop music industry in hk will collapse overnight.

as much as he is a godfather of modern cantopop in hk, he has his fair share of critics and detractors. those who are not discerning may not know why he is criticised all these years but i shall count his sins here.

he is not the most talented producer that hk has ever seen but definitely he is the smartest and most wicked producer of all. he has the ability to plagiarize from western music without people knowing (at least not to the majority of undemanding cantopop followers) and make it into his own. it is like a jigsaw puzzle; he steals a bit from here and a bit from there, and voila! he forms a new piece of art!

from his early days with kelly chen [陈慧琳] , he has been heavily influenced (to use a polite term) by stock-aitken-waterman (SAW), the ace producer trio from UK in the 80s, who was responsible for dance pop darlings such as rick astley, bananarama and kylie minogue. kelly hit the charts with her "unique" brand of dance music but very few know that it is totally unoriginal!

mark lui is the chief culprit responsible for creating this genre of trashy cantopop called "K- songs", which stands for karaoke-friendly songs. this brand of music is shallow, repeatedly and annoyingly catchy and most importantly, forgettable after a few rounds. many cantopop superstars today benefitted from his k-songs. many industry people in hk have told me that "k-songs" are living in dying breath. it won't be long before people realize how cheap it is. just look at the career doldrums of miriam yeung [杨千桦] and leo ku [古巨基] now. they are passe, over the prime already.

having said that, mark lui does have some talents. his is single-handedly responsible for the mega success of leon lai, miriam yeung, leo ku and many others. i am not here to take away his glory from making hk pop music industy sustainable over the last two decades.

4 years ago, he created janice vidal [wai lan, 卫兰], which to me is the most promising singer hk has seen for a while. the debut album "day and night", with its cool mix of jazz and bossa, was such a breath of fresh air to my ears. i still love that album after all these years. i thought i found hope in mark lui again. and i regard janice as the saving grace for hk cantopop.

4 albums later, i picked up this latest album called "serving you". guess what? mark lui copied all over the places! so many familiar tunes in so many places. it is as if mark lui used all his collective best tricks over the years and cooked up this album. there are so many sure-fire ingredients of "k-songs" in this album that it can guarantee a certain degree of success in the market. already, i am told that this album is the top-grossing album in hk in 2008. i have never ever suspected mark's cleverness but he can't fool us over and over again. no doubt, some of the songs sound annoyingly catchy but it could have been done for miriam yeung or leo ku or justin lo [侧田] with the same resutls. if not because of janice's angelic voice, the songs would have been relegated to those despicable "k-songs" again.

to me, all mark lui's releases this year have been bad but janice's album is the best of the worst. i leave you to figure out if that is a compliment or insult.
