Sun Eskimos 是個由十幾歲的年輕人組成的樂隊,音樂風格獨一無二。樂隊成立於2008年,成員包括Janice Ngiam, Emily DiRenzo和Christopher Lai。他們最近發行了以自己樂隊名字命名的EP,所得收入都捐給了在身在戰亂中的達佛人。

Six Pack of Wolves 未必是你想找的,但強勁的節拍及龐大的合唱團肯定是你正正需要的!忘掉你以往天真的理想主義、為你學校作舞蹈演奏的樂隊;忘掉青少年期的化學失調、想燒毀及破壞所有東西的慾望、拍拖隨即甩拖的回憶。現在就是憤慨、譏諷、偽友誼、盛怒一觸即發的年代!

Luke有一副磁性有力的獨特嗓音,從兒時起便是合唱團成員的,歐亞混血的他在香港和英國長大,因而對兩種文化都有深刻的體驗。他與家人朋友的關係和經歷是他最喜愛的創作主題, 因此他將他的首張專輯命名為 “Inspired by People”(靈感來自人)。

經過兩年和他的四人搖滾樂隊餓鬼樂隊合作演奏和錄音的經歷,Luke現在已準備好回歸自己機智、有感染力,原音路線。他的個人風格深受Jeff Buckley, Elliot Smith和Morrissey的影響。

The David Bowie Knives – 性感又令人充滿力量的搖滾。沒有故弄玄虛的噱頭,有的只是振奮人心的音樂。

Sun Eskimos are a group of teenagers with a unique, alternative sound (at least they’d like to think so). Formed in late 2008, the group consists of Janice Ngiam, Emily DiRenzo and Christopher Lai. They recently released their debut self-titled EP, with proceeds going to Darfur.

Six Pack of Wolves say: “Leave behind your former wide-eyed idealism and the bands that played your school dance; forget teenage chemical imbalance, the desire to burn or break everything or fall in… and then straight out of… love. Now is the time of indignation, jaded cynicism, strained friendships and hair-trigger rage caused by the soul-crushing days you spend corporate whoring.”
www.sixpackofwolves.com

Luke Chow – a former choir-boy, Luke has a uniquely rich and powerful baritone voice. He loves to write about experiences and relationships - his debut CD is titled Inspired by People. Luke has been singing, performing and recording with his rock band Hungry Ghosts for the past two years, and is a well-known figure on the Hong Kong indie music scene. Now, he’s ready to return to his roots of clever and infectious acoustic songwriting, inspired by artists such as Jeff Buckley, Elliot Smith and Morrissey. www.lukechow.com

The David Bowie Knives – Straight-up, powerful, sexy rock’n’roll. No gimmicks, no tricks; their music just hits your heart and body, dead-centre.

隨著「香港之秀」移進較優時尚的寫字樓,香港賽馬會以其中區警署的設計﹣以高竹棚為主的文化中心﹣吸引了香港市民的關注。這引起最多反對,同時也激發了賽馬會的反省和著手改變,以達致中區警署新設計的出現。

被視為以當代藝術為主的娛樂及文化中心,擬建的發展包括兩座規模較少的新建築。對於此方案,有些人仍然持批判意見,有些人則認為設計無瑕可擊。該地方何時才開放給公眾﹣讓人們能與良朋享受一個寧靜的茶敍的同時,小孩能在中環的心臟、沒有交通的有趣建築物內橫行﹣才是市民最迫切需要的。

我們誠邀各位參與本論壇,與來自著名建築公司Herzog de Meuron、Purcell Miller Tritton及Rocco Design Associates的三位建築師、藝術顧問David Elliott、文化傳承顧問Chris White以及香港賽馬會代表Mike Moir一起就「新」中區警署進行討論。

After “Hong Kong’s finest” moved to swankier offices, the Hong Kong Jockey Club surprised the community with its plans for the Central Police Station: a cultural centre with a bamboo-inspired high-rise hovering over it all. It took many objections, some soul-searching and a change of guard at the Jockey Club to arrive at new plans for the Central Police Station.

Conceived as a leisure and culture oasis focusing on contemporary arts, the proposed development includes two much smaller new structures. Some remain critical; others are convinced the design is perfect; most desperately want the place to open soon so we can enjoy a quiet tea or drinks with friends while kids run amok in this great compound of interesting buildings, devoid of traffic, right in the heart of Central.

Join the three architects - Herzog de Meuron, Purcell Miller Tritton and Rocco Design Associates, as well as Arts Advisor David Elliott, Heritage Interpretation consultant Chris White and Hong Kong Jockey Club representative Mike Moir, to discuss the “New” Central Police Station.

「我們時代的和平遊吟詩歌。」- Cindy Sheehan

戴駱維的音樂會,遠遠不止音樂如此簡單,他強大的感染魔力,可以令你哭令你笑,令革命也變得不可抗拒。

戴氏將超過200首歌曲免費放在網上,目前下載量已累積100多萬次,Democracy Now!、BBC和半島電視臺曾專題介紹他的音樂和故事。他音樂中強烈的反戰立場和社會正義的信念,將希望與靈感遠播,從巴勒斯坦到美國,從拉丁美洲到亞洲。

“In that wobbly tradition of sharp social commentary, David is a master.- The Industrial Worker

“The peace poet and troubadour for our time.” - Cindy Sheehan

A David Rovics concert is more than a great music event --- he will make you laugh; he’ll make you cry; he’ll make the revolution irresistible.

His music has been featured on Democracy Now!, BBC, Al-Jazeera and other networks; the 200+ songs he makes available for free on the Web have been downloaded more than a million times. David’s songs, expressing his strong anti-war stance and his belief in social justice, have brought hope and inspiration from Palestine to the USA, from Latin America to Asia
