This "biggest" quote is from BBChris own publicity material and it's clearly identified as PR from Shazza Music (her co.), not as editorial, in the e-zine.
I thought the "biggest" remark meant "largest, most members", not "best"! They had the most members of any band at Wanchai Live, didn't they?
Anybody else misunderstood this remark?

How could you claim to be the best band amongst 42 of Hong Kong's finest? Even BBChris' famously XXXL musical ego wouldn't inflate that far, I hope! But I could be wrong! :lol: :lol:

But hey, it's all in the fun spirit of promoting her band. Only with hype and big PR you get really ahead in the music business; the quality of the music is usually not sufficient or absolutely necessary to become famous.

The e-zine will support ALL Lamma musicians and will gladly publish ANY PR material I receive, the more outrageous and over the top the better!
If you're too outrageous in your PR the readers might simply laugh at you - and might go to your gig anyway to check out these crazies...

Check out the new Garoupa photo gallery I've shot this week and will be published before their gig tomorrow.

You're not wrong about the quality of the music being not sufficient Gung, that's for sure.

You know that's not what I meant.

I've long ago stopped judging the "quality" of music. Music is all a matter of personal taste and totally relative. One person's symphony is another person's cacophony, it's part of what makes us individuals.

If somebody enjoys a particular music, even pays for it or makes the time and effort to attend a concert, they're entitled to enjoy it and my (or your) opinion is really irrelevant to them. Why try to deter their enjoyment of their favourite music? They're entitled to their own opinion, like you or me as well.

TOL is giving a lot of concerts these days, so quite a lot of people seem to enjoy their music and performances, asking them to come back to the same venues again and again...

WOW!! What a great thread and I hadn't even noticed it before!! LOL! Yes TOL was one of 2 of the biggest bands playing at Wanchai Live - another band that didn't submit their info also had 6 members - that was what the 'biggest' referred to! Very astute of Lamma Gung to note that.

Oscar - are you saying you didn't attend this wonderful charity event? Here's some pics of the event http://www.thinkingoutloud.com.hk/picd.html

One pic of the audience that I love:
