Last evening, Guy and I went out again to the Peel Fresco Cafe to the 5th Anniversary party with live music band "Soul Preacher". This was the best live music I've seen so far in Hong Kong. All of the musicians were American. We had Samuel L. Jackson on the Bass and Denzel Washington on Drums haha. They did all American covers, from classic rock to funk and blues. Songs by Earth Wind and Fire, Lyrnryd Skynrd, Stevie Wonder, and many more. The band was very tight and talented, all of them could have been studio musicians. I was able to meet the bass player and drummer during their break. The bassist was from Philly. He had an awesome looking bass, and it turns out the guy we were sitting next to is the creator of his bass. He runs a custom bass shop in Causeway Bay where he handcrafts them. Exactly what I was looking for, a domestically made in Hong Kong bass! Anyway, its probably loads of money for it, so I doubt i'll get one anytime soon, but I definitely wanna try out one of his basses to see how they play someday while i'm here. What a great night of music. hope to see them again someday. I've posted some videos of the band below for any who are interested in listening.
Came all the way to the other side of the earth to hear some southern rock.
