ONE lists sex among her hobbies, one is learning to belly dance and another manages an organic garden. None of them, though, has a sister called Sharon.
They are the Sisters of Sharon, perennial favourites on the Hong Kong alternative music scene and a band enjoying something of a renaissance.
Chris Bowers, Kim Falkingham, Jette Johansen Modlock, Jill Eason and Martine Beale return this Thursday to Radio Free Hong Kong at Westworld (4/F, New World Harbour View Hotel, Harbour Road, Wan Chai).
Expect to hear all-original tunes like Paranoid, Nightmare is a Shopping Mall and Rock 'n' Roll Machine as the Sisters switch back and forth between punk, grunge and pop.
They are chomping at the bit to get their work on record. So far, however, the only Sisters-related material available on CD has been limited to the work Falkingham supplied to Diving for Pearls, a compilation of Hong Kong sounds.
The band was formed in November 1990 and hails from that fertile Hong Kong musical hunting ground of Lamma Island. The Sisters have a penchant for outdoor festival appearances but went down well enough last month during their last appearance at Radio Free Hong Kong.
