One of Hong Kong's most well known local bands, these guys give us a minute in their busy gig schedule to let us know a bit more about their world.
1.Please let me know your names and what group or name do you go by?
Whence He Came
-Joshua Wong :: vocals, guitars
-Ephraim Bano :: guitars, vocals
-Ken Mimasu :: bass, vocals
-Stephane Wong :: drums
2.When can we expect you to perform at the Rockit Festival?
We’re not really sure what time we’re on… I think we’re playing in the evening… early evening.
3.What have you recently been up to?
We’ve just finished recording our second album, which will be released early next year… very exciting. We brought dutch producer Martijn Groenenveld over from Holland, incredible process… best stuff we’ve ever recorded.
4.Have you heard anything about the Hong Kong music scene and do you have any personal opinion about it?
We’ve got quite a lot to say abaout the HK local music scene, far too much to put on paper.
5.How does your performance differ from large events to more small intimate venues?
With a larger stage comes a larger sound, and we love playing venues with enough room to go nuts.
6.What other artists are you looking forward to see over the 2 days?
We’re mostly excited to see this incredible Japanese band “Buddhistson” who are coming over out of their own pockets… we toured with them in Japan and they blow us away at every show. These guys are powerful AND all about the music.
7.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?
See buddhistson!!! And make sure you check out and support all the local bands too… let’s build the indie rock community.
