THE SLEEVES
“Part punk, part classic rock, part throwback 80s indie” - Time Out Hong Kong.
The Sleeves are a British born and influenced rock band formed in 2008 in Hong Kong. Mix The Kinks, the Sex Pistols, The Stone Roses and The Faces and you’ll be close.
Their debut album -‘Arcade Rock’ - was released in 2011. The follow up - ‘Deliverance’ - was recorded in Cambodia and released in 2018. The new album sees The Sleeves take further steps in a progressive direction without ever betraying their indie roots, with guitars remaining to the fore. Lyrically, ‘Flux’ explores how perceptions of events and situations can be changed by the passage of time.
The Sleeves have performed at festivals and played extensively around the Asia region, supported international artists including Gary Numan, UNKLE, Peaches and The Twilight Sad, and twice toured in the UK.

BAD ACTORS
Newly emerging from the depths of Hong Kong’s underground music scene, Bad Actors are a 4-piece band that thrives on raw emotion, sonic chaos and deliberate imperfection. Their music is noisy, fuzzy, and emotionally charged - an unpredictable blend of distortion and drama that becomes the soundtrack to the meltdown you didn’t know you needed. For fans of the unconventional, the unpolished and the unapologetically intense, Bad Actors offer a live experience that’s as visceral as it is unforgettable. Not a punk band. Not great at acting. But dangerously good at making noise.

HOUSEPLANTS
Houseplants ride the new wave of British post-punk, drawing inspiration from bands like IDLES, Viagra Boys and Squid. Energetic, unhinged and uncompromisingly fun, they deliver the musical equivalent to a punch in the face.
