Our first English episode! Hopefully one of many more to come, in this episode we discuss what it means to be a scene and “indie” in Hong Kong. We’d also like to specially thank Drover's Thirst for supplying us with fresh Australian beer for the episode, which made it all the merrier! As always, please feel free to reach out to us on Instagram for any question or comments, we love hearing from you! We'd also like to thank @grooooooooooooooooooooovy for giving us his space to record this episode, what a legend.
