Noisy electro-rock! HKBO are my new favourite Mexican band” Keytars & Violins
"Hong Kong Blood Opera played out Debaser in Malmö (Sweden) like no one's ever done before.....They mixed together the best in punk, hardcore and rocknroll, and did it with an energy and refinement that you don't find that often these days......Their liveshow was intense, sweaty, and in-your-face...... a new favorite band."
Denimzine oct08 (Punk Rock Garage Magazine)
"The Hong Kong Blood Opera are the new ÜBER-band from Mexico." Reeperbahn Festival 08 (Hamburg Germany)
"The Hong Kong Blood Opera played at the Nottinghill Artsclub and attacked it with viscious abandon throwing themselves at the music and the crowd like the young punks they are...this would not be enough if the music wasn't so bloody good...but it was!" NHAC London oct08
"The Hong Kong Blood Opera is a mind-blowing, ear-melting, blast-furnace, band from Hermosillo, Mexico."
"HYPE: It's what's next: HONG KONG BLOOD OPERA.THERE WILL BE BLOOD
Synth-punks fight their way out of the Mexican underground." Meanstreet Magazine (CA) Aug,08
Hong Kong Blood Opera: Favorite SXSW'08 band by KVRX Student Radio
“Mexican bands raised on American and British indie-rock of the ..90s
—with such names as Hong Kong Blood Opera […]are making music that doesn’t wear much Hispanic heritage on its hipster sleeve..” Star-Telegram
“If you like metal and electro, these guys are really interesting. I don’t even have a genre category for this. Go ahead. Make one up. For all you hard rock Moggers out there.” Lady Miss Ian
The Hong Kong Blood Opera was formed in 2006 in the city of Hermosillo, Sonora (a close-to-the-border town known for it's lack of musical movement other than traditional "banda" and "norteño" music).
They released their debut "The Critical Paparazzi EP" (Noiselab Records) in mid 2007, having done some national tours, and regulary playing different mexican cities since then.
Throughout 2007 HBKO also performed as part of important musical festivals in Mexico like MX Beat where they shared stage with Dj Mehdi, Panico and The Whitest Boy Alive, and Motorokr Fest performing next to bands such as The Killers and Incubus.
The Punchy-punk quintet was invited to South By South West Music conference in Austin, Texas on March 2008, after having moved to live to Mexico City, and perfomed at a couple of International line-up gigs; the audience and international press response towards the band was effusively positive.
In June 08 VICE took them to play to NYC at one of their famous LIVE parties, choosing them to act too at their "VICE Mexico" launch together with Black Lips on july 08.
Between September and October 2008, the band successfully performed 4 european gigs: Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg, Germany with bands like Crystal Castles, Nada Surf and Sahara Hotnights; Sweden southern city of Malmö as part of Debasser Festival, and a couple of London dates at Camden’s Purple Turtle and Alan McGee’s Death Disco weekly party on Nothing Hill Arts Club.
Were also invited to the important CMJ Music Marathon in NY to play on oct 25th/08, having to unfortunately cancel due to external causes.
The HKBO will play with The Hives at Mexico City’s Palacio de los Deportes on November 22nd '08, and Transmission Conference in Vancouver, Canada beginning of December.
A first LP is planned for early 2009.
