We interviewed dedicated fans of My Little Airport about the indie band’s recent sold-out shows and the release of their ninth album
Formed by Lam Ah P and Nicole OuJian in early 2000, My Little Airport are undoubtedly one of the most well-renowned Hong Kong bands that excite both fans of underground and mainstream music. Having recently performed seven sold-out concerts: You Said We’d Meet Again (你說之後會找我) at Music Zone, KITEC, the local indie band also released their long-anticipated ninth album of the same title. We interviewed fans of the band prior to their final sold-out show of seven and found out what they love about this band.
What did the fans think about My Little Airport?
My Little Airport performed seven sold-out shows titled You Said We’d Meet Again
It’s tradition that frontman Ah P rambles on about random and mindless stuff in the middle of their show, because as everyone knows, babbling is his speciality. When he was talking about his ninth album, he shared with us his serious concern regarding to the number “9” because most famous composers and bands can’t make it after their ninth work, including Beethoven who died soon after writing Symphony No. 9.
Playing a number of new songs from their latest album, My Little Airport’s performance turned to a more mellow, sentimental and joyous ambience compared to their previous shows which focused mostly on politically-charged songs.

The twelve-track album includes popular songs like Hey Hey Baby, A Red-Eye Flight to Amsterdam (阿姆斯特丹夜機), You Said We’d Meet Again (你說之後會找我), Stray Cat in Okinawa (沖繩流浪貓) and Heart (心), Kill Just One More Person (再殺一個人) that discuss childhood embarrassment, new-found romance, the importance of letting go and moving forward, and last but not least, disappointment and disgust in today’s politics.
Ending the show with some of fans’ old favourites like Is It Too Late to Speak Tonight (今晚講嘢夜唔夜), My Little Airport came back on stage twice for the encore at their final show. As one of their long-term listeners, I think it’s just magical to see how the band changes and matures over the course of a decade – after all, who would’ve thought that Lam Ah P would be talking about love and playing with (other people’s) kids and babies on stage one day?
