Four veteran indie rockers - with the help of former Beyond bassist Steve Wong Ka-keung - are storming the stage with a new album that aims to cause an uproar on the Chinese rock music scene.
Vocalist Sammy So Ho-choy, drummer Michael Chu Wai-chor, bassist Kao Yiu-fung (aka Kao Fung) and guitarist Robin Law Ho-pan have formed a band called Kolor and recently released an album titled Color.
The band are familiar faces to rock fans. So and Chu were members of the now-defunct Lam Kee, and Kao played for
Tat Flip, the band signed by Beyond's production company Rear House in 2000.
'This [Kolor] is an opportunity. I once had a similar chance before [in Lam Kee] but I didn't manage it well. Maybe I was too young and lacked experience,' says So.
After Lam Kee disbanded in 2003, So continued to write songs and record demos.
Wong, impressed by the quality of So's music, decided to help him produce an album.
