Supergrass in Hong Kong?

Are they trying to pull a Stones or are the folks over at Rockit now trying to get one up on the Harbourfest organisers in the incompetancy department?

Will Air Supply do an acoustic set at the Rockit to replace Supergrass??

Time will tell!

Supergrass

Yeah - they are really upset about the whole deal - understandably so.

I spoke with some of the Rockit guys at the SoHo carnival (excellent by the way) and they told me that Supergrass pulled out of their US tour but fully intended to come to Hong Kong.

Apparently they we very keen to come here for the first time but it was all too much to ask with a close family member in hospital. Touch and go apparently.

But Rockit is more than one band. And Finley Quaye is confirmed to come - so how's that for silver lining

I'm still going down! Got my tickets already.

Regurgitator interview

I had a quick question and answer session with Quan from Regurgitator who is already in Hong Kong ready for this weekends Rockit Festival. Read more...Q.Please let me know your names and what group or name do you go by?
A.Quan, Ben and Peter. We are called Regurgitator. (Don’t ask me why)

Q.When can we expect you to perform at the Rockit Festival?
A.think we’re playing at 5pm on Sunday???

Q.What have you recently been up to?
A.have been running away from my old life in a blind stupor. Last year I bought a car in Switzerland and drove around Western Europe for 6 months with a giant Japanese stuffed toy as company. I then lived in Sweden for 6 months after meeting the craziest person I have ever met whilst casually wandering along a beach front on a Greek island. The last 6 months were spent in London where I have been demo-ing an R&B album and a new Regurgitator record and periodically cleaning up Harold the cat’s disemboweled pigeon victims.

Q.Have you heard anything about the Hong Kong music scene and do you have any personal opinion about it?
A.I’ve heard nothing.

Q.How does your performance differ from large events to more small intimate venues?
A.It doesn’t. We’re always less than professional. Probably the smaller the crowd the better we entertain. Ironic isn’t it.

Q.What other artists are you looking forward to see over the 2 days?
A.Um… it all looks cool. I couldn’t put my finger on it.

Q.If you are not from Hong Kong is their anything you hope to check out? If you are from Hong Kong what would you recommend that visitors have to do or see?

A.I’m moving here man. It f**king rox!

Check out Regurgitator at this weekends Rockit Festival in Victoria Park.
