KoFi Comes Home: Thập Phương Hoan K in Hội An

Band Camp is back, and this time there are nine bands: Pickles, Liquid Courage, Wet Market, Deadpan, Bamboo Sunday, Hai Nẫu, Hedwig & The Angry Wendies, The Rose Buds and Sonic Colossus. The musicians signed up on their own, were put together with people they had never played with, and have spent six weeks writing two original songs each. No covers. They all play them for the first time at Roots Bar on Sunday 15 November, 7pm. Free, all welcome.

"Come alone, leave with a band."

Band Camp Hội An, Vol. 2
Band Camp Vol. 2 · 15 November
Read the full story

It started in July as something not too serious, a way to see out the summer playing something different. Four bands drew their line ups at Roots Bar, wrote two songs each and played all eight of them on 12 September to a full room. It was enough fun that we did it again, and this time more than twice as many musicians put their names down.

Nobody chose who they played with. The line ups were drawn at a meet up at Roots Bar at the start of October, and from there each band had six weeks to find a sound, write two songs and learn to play them together.

Roots Bar has held every part of this, the practice sessions as well as the show. Band Camp is brought to you by Lost & Found and Roots Bar.

№4 This Month's Featured Venue · November
Red Lantern Cocktails, An Bàng

Red Lantern Cocktails

Live music on Thursdays, open mic on Fridays, and a lantern lit room behind the street.

Some places are just for a drink. This is not one of them. What began as Dũng's tiny streetside cocktail bar grew into a room behind it, lit red and loud enough, with Chris running a pub kitchen at the same table. Live music on Thursdays, open mic on Fridays, open from four, and it fills up from about nine. Come as strangers, leave as friends.
