"Getting over the excitement of the hardpack cd release party"

Yeah!!..Hip hip hooray!!!!!...I actually tried bloggin yesterday but when i hit the publish entry button everything was lost so now i am startin over again, It was the longest blog we have ever typed it was like 2 pages of A4 paper...Oh well anyway.....

We wanna take this opportunity here to thank people again cus from the bottoms of our hearts we know this party would not have happened without the help of the following...We would like to thank Jagameister,Olivia@Element, ALIVENOTDEAD.COM, We really really wanna thank Raffi for pushing us and chasin' our asses of for things cus sometimes we do need a bit of butt kickin to get things done thanks for staying up late setting up the online shop and takin care of business...

Thanks to Shan for following up things and makin it happen(it wasn't just a hardpack show, it was a hardpackshan show) shan Rocks!!! Lets drink next time Shan! thanks to boon for designing the flyers and changing our word on the T, Thanks to patrick Lee, Dan wu, Andrew, Con for the love and support always!! Thanks to Terence for believing in us from day 1 and for doing an awesome job as the mc (Ur looks do help..haha) Big thanks goes to Dan(handsome in glasses) for setting up and lookin after things and also big thanks to Sharlene(Welcome to HK) for helpin out with sellin cd's, gettin in the moshpit and other stuff that made the release party successful (u heard of canto-pop,Now u seen canto-punk) thanks to julia and ross@starcross...

Thanks to CBfresh for the funny video and the love and support we are sure that people did learn how to survive a hardpack show...Thanks to Josie, Jun, Joey Tang and phat for comin down to sing with us!!....Now i know why bands thank so many people when they have their own cd release shows and all that cus to make it happen,Its not just the band but its the people around them that help so in our case ALIVENOTDEAD.COM made it happen!!!!....Thanks sooo much guys!!!! We finally pulled it off!!!!!...

To be honest we were already quite tired when we got on stage cus we had been rehearsin the nite b4 and i have been workin non stop and early set ups movin equipment and all that but when we got on stage to see the turn out and the love everyone was showing and the redbull kickin in we mangaed to go all out and do the best we can!!!!!.. We had soooo much fun on stage especially when askin the guest's to come up, It was soo much fun!!!!... It was sooo much fun rearranging jun and joey tangs songs into a hardpack sound and jollly jun and joey tang rocked soooo hard!!!!!  Josie no more to be said is always rockin hard!!! Lookin out to the audience seeing people go crazy is just such an encouragment for us to keep going and going,This not only being a celelbration for hardpacks cd, Its also a celebration for us cus we have just finished an era of hardpack,having member changes,We are proudly to say that We are moving on into another level....Its the beginning of a new era for us so if u dig our stuff be sure to watch out for the new stuff!!.....

BTW if anyone form overseas is reading this please try and get a copy of the cd from the below link and yes try and get a t-shirt as well cus u might be able to get canto-pop from ur local cd shop in chinatown but i am sure its hard for u to find canto-punk there...
