Maria Cordero + Danny Summer New Year Concert @ Venetian Macao’s Venetian Theatre – 7:45pm, 2 March 2013
Two local legends together on stage, a songwriter and guitarist, Danny Summer’s popularity has extended from the 1980s until now. Considered the Father of Hong Kong rock and roll, Summer’s first album Childhood earned him the Most Promising New Artist Award in 1979. Macao-born Maria Cordero joined the Hong Kong music industry in 1987. Her powerful, versatile and original vocal style soon attracted the attention and admiration of the industry. Her career as a recording artist was launched two years later when she was singled out by the well known film director, Lam Ling Tung, to sing the theme song for the movie City On Fire. In 1988, the song “Beam of Friendship,” from Cordero’s debut album, won Hong Kong’s prestigious Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs Award.

Blur @ AsiaWorld Arena – 8pm, 6 May 2013
The epitome of Cool Britannia, Britpop legends Blur haven’t released a new album since reforming for a series of concerts in 2009, but such is the strength of their discography that’s been largely irrelevant as the band have wowed their fans across the globe at gigs and festivals. Formed in London in 1988 as Seymour, the group consists of singer/keyboardist Damon Albarn, guitarist/singer Graham Coxon, bassist Alex James and drummer Dave Rowntree. Blur’s debut album Leisure (1991) incorporated the sounds of Madchester and shoegazing. Following a stylistic change influenced by English guitar pop groups such as The Kinks, The Beatles and XTC, Blur released Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993), Parklife (1994) and The Great Escape (1995). As a result, the band helped to popularise the Britpop genre and achieved global popularity, aided by a chart battle with rival band Oasis in 1995 dubbed “The Battle of Britpop”. In recording their follow-up, Blur (1997), the band underwent another reinvention, showing influence from the lo-fi style of American indie rock groups. “Song 2”, one of the album’s singles, brought Blur mainstream success in the United States. Their next album, 13 (1999) saw the band members experimenting with electronic and gospel music, and featured more personal lyrics from Albarn. In May 2002, Coxon left Blur during the recording of their seventh album Think Tank (2003). Containing electronic sounds and more minimal guitar work, the album was marked by Albarn’s growing interest in hip hop and African music. After a 2003 tour without Coxon, Blur did no studio work or touring as a band, as members engaged in other projects
The Hong Kong concert, part of Blur’s 2013 World Tour is currently the only non-festival gig announced by the band and tickets go on sale on 25 February

Grey Filastine is an audio-visual artist born in Los Angeles, based in Barcelona, and often nomadic. He composes a dense transnational bass music that collides the lowest frequencies of dubstep with the highest-level beat science, acoustic strings, voices, and lofi street noises. The results are “Awesome and delicate… hybrids so fluent they defy classification.” -Pitchfork.

How To Dress Well @ Hidden Agenda – 8:30pm, 6 March 2013
Hidden Agenda celebrates its 4th Anniversary with a series of concerts, the second of which features How to Dress Well supported by Snowblind.
How To Dress Well is the stage name of songwriter and producer Tom Krell. Krellʼs burgeoning career began in 2009 when, having just moved from Brooklyn to Berlin, his songs began to emerge online via a string of free, digital EPs posted in anonymity on his blog. Combining a gorgeous falsetto with fractured R&B-influenced beats, a subtly devastating melody and elements of noise, sound collage and avant-garde composition, Krellʼs debut album Love Remains offered a beautiful window into a startlingly realised artistic imagination. Its conceptual strength and emotional resonance ensured Love Remains garnered critical acclaim and tracks such as “Ready For The World” saw Krell accredited with having given birth to a new, narcotized strain of R&B that has since spawned a host of imitators.
Krell states that his second release Total Loss, which expands the moodiness and layers of swarming voices of his debut, as “an opening-up”, describing it as an “album about sharing”, “Iʼm trying to use this sharing to orient my life— call it true hope, or love.”
