About SO WHAT
So What have something to say. Whether it's anger at hypocritical American
leadership (War Monkey) or the intensity of bereavement of a soul mate (Silent
Tears), their message is loud and clear and they proud to share it. So What ¡V
Shu Wo "Mine". Theirs. Hearts on sleeves.
Evolving from the three regular-gigging local pop'n rock combos, this line up
features Shirley Choi on bass, keyboards and sometime kutsang, Jan Lee sings,
also she's a dab on the erhu, violin and guitar¡Kand Rani: She bangs the gong.
Influences: "anything with a good tune really" says Shirley in her 'quite
English' accent. Pushed for specifics, we are told Mozart, Chopin and Coldplay,
U2, Nat King Cole, Depeche Mode and Sting. Get it on¡K. Next up it's Jan with,
Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, Suzanne Vega, Stevie Wonder, Nick Drake, Sinead
O'Connor and again U2. Rani? Beyond, Queen, Chick Corea, Dave Weckl, Peter
Erskine¡K.
We need to know whether this is just another girlie band. What about labels?
"Indies or Brands?" comes the reply. We have our answer.
In fact this band is something else. A mix of classic professionalism,
contemporary relevance, a can-do-got-done attitude - with a single release plus
music video already aired on TV, and all that whilst remaining gig-less, having
been formed for less than a corporate quarter.
"Make sure the bio makes clear we are unique". OK¡K..So What are from Hong Kong,
but uniquely they're not Canto-pop, they're Chinese but their music is a unique
fusion of Chinese rock and Western pop. They are not out there to be cutesy pop
starlets, they simply want to share their music and message "Its social
awareness, the importance of doing what you love and of course, rock and roll!"
Image and substance, quite unique, in fact.
About SANSKRIT

and chose to name it ¡§Sanskrit¡¨ which is a word coming from an old traditional
Indian code.

Guitars and DJ Pong at the turntables. They have released their debut album end
06.
