This issue: The Sound and the Fury
Hong Kong gets a bad rap when it comes to music – and not without justification. For a city that has designs on being mentioned in the same breath as London and New York, we have a live music scene that would comfortably fit into one district of the aforementioned powerhouses, while our paucity of mid-sized venues leave few options for bands too big for a bar but too small for the AsiaWorld-Arena.
But that’s only half the story. If you know where to look (and our Music pages are usually a good place to start) our city offers a cacophony of talented voices worthy of your attention. And their numbers are growing.
Exclusively for your aural pleasure, we polled some of Hong Kong’s most plugged in music aficionados to come up with our list of the city’s top 20 musicians. Find out where our cover star, the wonderful Mr Anthony Wong, placed starting from p12. Rock on.
