What Was the First Important Song in Your Life?

Description

What was the first important song in your life? Probably, it was embarrassing. Hopefully, you still love it anyway. Six music lovers from different walks of life will brave the shame and share their formative musical moment, in a special one-off talk at beloved Central music venue The Aftermath. The diverse cast of speakers include a 16-year-old Hong Konger emo-head, South African photographer, Bahraini vocalist, Australian academic, and a former rock n’ roll label head. What unites this diverse cast is a love of music.

Kicking off at 19:00, Verse, Chorus, Conversation is the first panel talk hosted by SmellsLike.HK, a longstanding niche promoter best known for 90s tribute shows. At 21:00 the vibe changes with a nostalgic original music showcase themed around an old-school cassette tape, with back-to-back 45-minute headline sets from prog-punk survivors Say Mosquito, followed by hip-hop/funk-rock hybridists Misty Blue Sky. Best of all, entry is free.
