King Ly Chee was put together in May of 1999 and the full story and details of the inception can be read in the various interviews we've put up on our site. One in particular would be the Fracture interview we did a few years ago...If anyone is familiar with modern-day Asian culture - you will know just how complex the circumstances are in our cities around Asia. Its hard to make sense of introducing an entire music-culture to a population whose main language is not English and therefore things need to be translated, written or sung in the most accessible language. For Korea - things need to be in Korean, in Taiwan - things need to be in Mandarin, for Hong Kong - things need to be in Cantonese.
In general we focus on creating music heavily centered on social issues that may or may not be unique to our city (depending, of course, on the topic of the song). We have always been fans of message-oriented hardcore and less interested in the make-up, hair dye, mascara, rocking out to poetic gibberish "hardcore".
November 2000, we released our first album named "We Are Who We Are". In August 2002, we signed with a brand new local Hong Kong independent label called Polar Bear Production and released our second record "Stand Strong" in December of 2003. In January 2006, King Ly Chee independently released a split CD entitled Under One Flag with a European political punk band called Good Reason and followed the release up with a tour of Eastern Europe. In June of 2006 King Ly Chee got together with a bunch of other local Hong Kong bands and started a brand new record label called Start From Scratch Records!

In the last 9 years we have played throughout Hong Kong and have traveled to other countries including several times in Taiwan, Korea, China (including Beijing, Wuhan, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou), and have completed two Southeast Asian Tours taking on the sights, sounds, culture of our bretheren in hardcore scenes of Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia. We most recently toured as NOFX's Asian support band on their Asian tour in 2007 playing Beijing, Taipei, Manila, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Jakarta, and Bali.
On January 30, 2008 we released our highly anticipated new EP called Unite Asia! This EP has been brought to you by our fellow Asian brothers and sisters at the following labels: Townhall Records, Dyslexia Records, One Voice Records, Unityhxc, Fast Youth Records, Start From Scratch Records, Take 4 Collective, and Painkiller Magazine. It is a totally FREE download EP and is available on our website: www.kinglychee.com
Shortly after the release of the Unite Asia EP we were approached by Gibson guitars! For a band like us who have members that have been playing guitar for over 15 years, this was a great affirmation to their commitment and dedication to this band and to music. It was a great feeling to pick up the Gibson guitar and realize that we were actually being looked at to be endorsed by the greatest guitar company on this planet.
It means a lot to us when people outside of Hong Kong are into checking us out...especially fellow hardcore bands - it proves to us that hardcore is TRULY a global community, and not just based on USA.
Thank you so much for your time and interest in Asian hardcore...
