Another day, another video. I just love this shaky, awkward footage of Fragile playing 白影 (white shadows). If you want to hear the studio version of the song, it’s available for free at http://hkxo.bandcamp.com/!

Tickets are still on sale but selling fast. Head along to http://hkxo.tumblr.com/tix to find out how to reserve.

HKXO is a crossover. In a city famed for its blend of west and east, there unfortunately remains a divide between two parallel music communities. Whilst, the musical landscape of HK has never looked as bright as it has coming into 2012; HKXO aims to further close the rapidly narrowing gap between musicians in the territory; exposing as many people to as much beautiful, local, independent and genuine music as possible along the way. 

Most of all, it’s an excuse for a good time. 

$100 gets you in.
