While more international bands have come to Hong Kong in the past few years, such as shoegazers <\/span>Beach Fossils<\/span><\/a>, noise rock band <\/span>A Place to Bury Strangers<\/span><\/a> and indie sweetheart <\/span>Fazerdaze<\/span><\/a>, the local music scene is also thriving. From 15 April to 21 April, local music festival The Week Hong Kong will bring together twenty-five brilliant local acts on seven different stages for fans of local hip hop, indie pop, rock, metal, shoegaze and post-rock. We interviewed the creative minds behind it \u2013 Paul Sedille, Elaine Ip and Joris Boutin \u2013 and see why they\u2019re so determined and passionate into making it one of best yearly music festivals in Hong Kong.<\/span><\/p>\n

We chat with the organisers of The Week Hong Kong<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"The
The enthusiasm from the music scene in Hong Kong is what makes planning The Week Hong Kong a really fun thing to do<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hi, Paul, Elaine and Joris. Thanks for sitting down with us. How did you guys first come up with the idea of The Week Hong Kong? <\/b><\/h3>\n

Paul: A friend of ours got us together originally, Joris wasn\u2019t here last year, and he said let\u2019s do one week full of music. There is a healthy music scene in Hong Kong but not as many events as we would like there to be. I was just living in Beijing before and there was a really vibrant scene. But in Hong Kong I was having a hard time to find where the good shows are, so it seemed like the perfect thing to do. People around us are voluntary-based. We really did it because we like the music scene, I wouldn\u2019t have done this if it was about another industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joris: We know how things are running in other places, such as Beijing. There is actually the same vibrant energy in the music scene in Hong Kong, it just might not be as well structured. Now that we are able to do things by ourselves, we want to invest some energy in it, participate in it and try to build that structure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you guys involved in the music field? What do you guys do?<\/b><\/h3>\n

P: I am a videographer. I work for a news channel making videos. Sometimes I also work for New Ears Music, so I did have somewhat of a link with music but it\u2019s not the only thing I do. I do lots of different subjects. <\/span><\/p>\n

Elaine: I am a freelance event planner. I like putting on different events with different teams, just to help my soul survive. And then I do a lot of corporate events for money in order to survive <\/span>(laughs)<\/span><\/i>. <\/span><\/p>\n

J: I work in a research centre.<\/span><\/p>\n

P: This is what we call a core team out of convenience. There are other people helping us as well, we have folks working in digital marketing, in communicating and designing. We get help from a lot of people, because it\u2019s all voluntary, we kind of have to ask favours from lots of friends.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The
The team from The Week Hong Kong hopes to make people discover music, to allow artists to become more and more professional and to have more shows<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What are the advantages of having seven nights of different genres in one week? <\/b><\/h3>\n

P: It becomes an easy stop for people. If you have everything in one week and it\u2019s all marketed as one event, people can really have an idea of what\u2019s going on in Hong Kong, so artists get promoted, venues get promoted and the general scene is more healthy.<\/span><\/p>\n

J: The difficulty to find the scene is because all the live houses are spread out in the city, so it\u2019s not easy to access them all at the same time. <\/span><\/p>\n

E: I think it\u2019s also because existing events would only be marketed to existing crowds. When everything is together, there is a bigger chance for the crowd to discover something new. Like oh there\u2019s a bunch of metal bands that I never knew about!<\/span><\/p>\n

Find out where all the music festivals in Asia<\/a> are happening this year<\/em><\/p>\n

What are the difficulties in holding a week-long music festival in Hong Kong?<\/b><\/h3>\n

E: Finding a venue that is within budget, that is big enough, that will let us play music and won\u2019t not get any complains. We do try to engage new types of venues, like restaurants and bars that maybe haven\u2019t thought about doing an event there. Hopefully if they see there is a crowd for it, they will cater to it more. There will be more chances for other bands to put on shows.<\/span><\/p>\n

J: The general infrastructure in Hong Kong is kind of tough for small players, it\u2019s very difficult to access venues because of the price of real estate. It\u2019s easier for big producers because you have the financial means to access venues and get it done. There is also a lack of cultural policy that supports small players in Hong Kong. <\/span><\/p>\n

P: One of the ways to grow is to get sponsors, but as a really small event that is new in the scene, we really have to prove ourselves. You can\u2019t just do one event or two events, you have to do a few and get people comfortable with you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Metal night from The Week Hong Kong 2017 was a blast (Credit: The Week Hong Kong via Facebook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What do you guys personally like listening to? <\/b><\/h3>\n

J: I\u2019ve been listening to <\/span>My Little Airport<\/span><\/a> a lot. Even though I don\u2019t understand the Cantonese lyrics, you can totally get the vibe. And sometimes they also have words in French or English which is great.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

E: Hip hop! Out of our group, I am going to be the most basic, mainstream, least qualified person to actually talk about the Hong Kong bands (<\/span>laughs<\/span><\/i>). That\u2019s why I do all the boring adminy organising stuff, and these guys get to choose the bands. I love Beyonce, that girl has a voice.<\/span><\/p>\n

P: I listen to a lot of local hip hop. I find it really fun but I also have a hard time because a lot of Cantonese hip hop are lyrics-based. But something like The Low Mays, it\u2019s easy to understand where they are coming from even if you don\u2019t understand the lyrics. It\u2019s funny to experience it. Also, there are quite a lot of English-based local rappers that I enjoy, like 7on7, Txmiyama and Squarehead, who all have played or will play at The Week Hong Kong.<\/span><\/p>\n

Which band(s) do you guys most look forward to seeing at The Week Hong Kong? <\/b><\/h3>\n

J: I was really impressed by GDJYB. I saw them at Indie Roaring and I was just amazed.<\/span><\/p>\n

P: I\u2019m looking forward to seeing Life was All Silence<\/a>. There is a big prog-rock\/post-rock scene here so I was fascinated because it is something that isn\u2019t popular in France. <\/span><\/p>\n

E: After After Party! They are so much fun.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The
The team from The Week Hong Kong really appreciates the help from the bands and their friends as they are only working with a small budget<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

How did you guys pick the artists\/bands for The Week Hong Kong?<\/b><\/h3>\n

P: It\u2019s a community effort. We don\u2019t have a programming team, so we pulled from a lot of people around us that we know and trust and we got a lot of great recommendations. Obviously we include a lot of locals as well, since Joris and I are two \u201cgweilos\u201d, we need the help of locals to be able to get the whole feel. It gives it a more encompassing and more comprehensive mind and it represents a bit more variety than if it was just us two saying who we like. <\/span><\/p>\n

J: Also, when you look at the lineup, we have twenty-five different bands and there are only five bands where you find women. Four of them are in the Girls\u2019 Night, and two others are <\/span>Thud<\/span><\/a> and The Majestic G. We came up with this idea of putting girls on stage for prime time show on a Friday night, and just to make it a Girls\u2019 Night. Music is very often male fronted, it\u2019s so much better when it is open to variety and diversity.<\/span><\/p>\n

P: Hopefully it can inspire more girls in Hong Kong to do bands!<\/span><\/p>\n

What do you want to bring to the music crowd in Hong Kong? <\/b><\/h3>\n

P: To bring local music to a large audience. To make Hong Kong music a popular thing that people can be proud of, not just because they know a guy working at Hidden Agenda or is in a band, but because it\u2019s fun to go to local shows. That\u2019s kinda missing in Hong Kong, so that\u2019s one little niche where The Week Hong Kong has a role to play.<\/span><\/p>\n

E: Festivals like Clockenflap obviously rely a lot on larger names and it\u2019s a great opportunity for local bands to be able to play on a bigger stage at Clockenflap. But in terms of just focusing on Hong Kong musicians, The Week makes sure everyone knows that these guys are all from Hong Kong. I\u2019m also hoping when some of the artists get together, some cool collaborations that wouldn\u2019t have happened before might happen. <\/span><\/p>\n

J: Also we want to bring crowds together, people who usually go to Kowloon side or those who come to Hong Kong side can go the same venue and enjoy the same band at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n
