Macau four-piece rockers System Kick make their Hong Kong debut this weekend as part of the Underground series of live band shows.
Singer-guitarist Geoffrey Churchill, drummer Fabbio Guzman, lead guitarist Ryan Tongga and bassist Weng Fai-Chan came together after Churchill and Weng's former band, Future Shock, fell apart in true rock'n'roll fashion.
'I think we're all music addicts,' says Churchill. 'The thing we wanted most of all was a band that worked as a band, rather than a group of musicians who get together to put on shows.
'The idea behind System Kick is a band that serves the music rather than music serving us as individuals. A band without all the politics of who is the star and wanting to look good, and more about playing and performing.
'I like to think we make music that connects with people and basically says, 'You know what, we feel this, too'. I remember as a teenager listening to music that made me say, 'That's me - that song is who I am'. So as a songwriter I'm always conscious of that 15-year-old who used to fanatically listen to his Walkman.'
