Misirlouミザルー Journey to the Stars 星への旅路 Rudolph 赤鼻のトナカイ Ventures Mina Pang The Cotton Kids

Happy holidays to you all! When the whole city seems to be ill, we were busying gigging: first at the Eiffel Tower at Le Jardin Cotai, and then on one of the largest stages in town: Largo de Sai Van at the Macau Tower. Only one term comes to mind: psychological imbalance. Well, I told our band members to just stay sound and fit and try our best to enjoy the most out of it. ;-))) It was surreal.

So ladies and gentleman, we are trying hard to bring back surf rock to the city. Here comes footages of some of the songs we played.

Of course we had the best sound engineering crew to help us, with the sound check, rehersal, and we were simply treated like VIPs. I think to them, all performers were VIPs, whether you are a local band or super stars from Hong Kong or Taiwan. It was a surreal experience to us The Cotton Kids!

To be honest, when Uncle Gary called and asked if we could play on 24th in the evening at the Sai Van Lake, I checked my schedule and I was already scheduled to play at the Parisian on 24th (but very late in the afternoon). Besides, the big stage that Bon Jovi, Linkin Park and Taylor Swift went was at the Venetian Cotai Arena, I don’t think I’d be playing there so where would I be gigging at the Parisian?! Last time I saw someone gigging there, it was in the ballroom…anyways, Sai Van Lake, meaning, it’s Anim'Arte so it’s busking by the lake. Oh brother. That means I'd have to bring my own mic stands, our drums and amps and all, even the extension cords. I would collapse and would need acupuncture treatment the following day! But, it’s alright. It would be nice to gig, play music and bring people joy via our music during festivals. The girls from our band would have a great time. To be honest, I treasure every single time I get to gig with my kid. Hey, she will be a teenager soon and who knows… when you were a teenager, did you fancy playing music with your old man? But anyways, with temperatures dropping, and I could put on my 30 year old biker’s jacket which can literally stand on the ground. So I replied to our manager, “let’s do it!” It turned out that on Facebook, I saw on a friend’s page that she saw The Cotton Kids would be playing at the Macau Tower year end count down stage! You know, I have been on stages even bigger than this many times to be honest, but this is the first time I set foot on such a stage with my little girl Mina, my own band, not to mention I bring with me my guitar on stage. But, I was thinking of bringing badminton rackets and a volleyball cos the stage was huge. We feel really honored they invited The Cotton Kids to gig here.

And just in case you are interested in original songs Mina came up with, we have 1 song here for you to check out:

   • 黑沙 Kids  Hac Sa Kids 棉花樂隊 The Cotton Kids ...  

Again folks, you won't believe it. Too many people are sick and no one goes to work in our city. Still, the show must go on. May we wish you all a peaceful, healthy and lucky holidays!!!!
