United front
Ever since 2004 the Me? WE! movement has been working tirelessly to promote a range of regional acts who would normally fall below the radar, releasing several compilation albums and presenting dozens of live showcases.
Its first compilation featured established artists such as Anthony Wong Yiu-ming, Paul Wong, Jun Kung, Eugene Pao and MC Yan, and was followed by the hip hop album So Hot It Hertz that focused on established Asian MCs.
Next up is a crossover project featuring bands from Hong Kong, Taiwan, the mainland and Japan that's expected to be released in the middle of the year. But to get a taste of what Me? WE! is all about before then, the movement is putting on a show tomorrow night as part of the City Festival at the Fringe Club with a lineup of established and up-and-coming local talent.
Long-term rockers Papa Jack will be backed up by Wuliaoqi, Dull Figure and Maf2ia. The show starts at 10.30pm and tickets cost HK$90 at the door.
