About Say Bok Gwai

Say Bok Gwai is San Francisco's first Chinese American hardcore band, melding two distinct cultures into a completely unique sound called CantoCore. Say Bok Gwai's original compositions are rooted in American punk/thrash/metal/hardcore music and sung primarily in Cantonese. The subject matter ranges from Chinese American identity to grappling with traditionalChinese values and down with "the man" aesthetics. Say Bok Gwai is a Chinese American band that pushes the envelope of musical, social, and political extremes. Say Bok Gwai shows a new face of Chinese American music and is not for the timid or easily offended.

Frontman Alex Yeung is a long time San Franciscan musician who has worked in both the hard music and experimental music scenes. Alex serves as the songwriter and guitarist for Say Bok Gwai---as well as playing guitar for CONQUEST FOR DEATH. Drummer Andre Custodio has been an integral part of the Bay Area experimental music scene for over 10 years and plays drums for TERESE TAYLOR and VAL MIH. Say Bok Gwai has released their self-titled debut CD on Monkey King Records.

The 1st CD has also been released in Hong Kong on Global Chinese Rock Records. Say Bok Gwai has been featured in festivals such as NoisePop, Pinoise Pop, Tidal Wave, and Rock On(Hong Kong). Say Bok Gwai has also been a monthly participant of the only series to feature Asian American musicians called Asian American Musician's Showcase (AAMS) in San Francisco. Say Bok Gwai's 2nd CD release is due out June 2008 on Edgetone Records.
