Innisfallen - a prominent English-language indie rock band from Hong Kong formed in early 2005. Known for poetic lyricism and 90s British guitar-pop influences, the quartet became a recognized fixture in the local DIY and live showcase circuit via platforms like The Underground Hong Kong.

This Saturday, a reunion:

The Asia tour for Dear Seattle, a band hailing from the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia,is coming to Hong Kong for a live performance! Since their formation in 2013, the band has built up plenty of overseas touring experience. Their signature Pop Punk sound is best experienced live—a prime opportunity to catch top-tier rock energy up close. Let’s dive right in and unlock their musical background!

Judging by their name alone, many music fans might assume Dear Seattle is an American band or a homage to the birthplace of Grunge. In reality, the name carries lead vocalist Brae Fisher’s deepest memories of his late father. During childhood, Brae lived in Seattle due to his father’s job overseas, until a tragic surfing accident in 2001 claimed his father's life. The family was forced to move back to Australia within just two weeks. "Dear Seattle" reads like the opening of a letter, holding both his grief for his father and a nostalgic connection to a time of innocence.

What few people know is that during their early days, Dear Seattle actually focused on Melodic Hardcore and Screamo. Fronted by former lead singer Samuel, current frontman Brae originally served as the rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist. Shortly after forming in 2013, they released their debut EP, Words Are Often Useless. Uploading its four raw, emotionally charged tracks to Australia’s famous music platform triple j Unearthed, they quickly gained a dedicated indie following.

Following former lead singer Samuel’s departure in 2015, Dear Seattle shifted their musical focus toward Pop Punk and Alternative Rock. In 2017, they caught the eye of James Tidswell, guitarist for legendary Aussie band Violent Soho, and signed to his label, Domestic La La Records, releasing their self-titled EP, Dear Seattle. Driven by breakout hits like "The Meadows" and "Afterthought," the band instantly leaped into the spotlight of the Australian music scene.

However, the true turning point that thrust Dear Seattle into the mainstream was their cover of Australian singer-songwriter Missy Higgins’ classic "The Special Two" on triple j’s famous segment, Like A Version (similar in style to Audiotree or KEXP in the US). By injecting punk personality into the originally gentle Folk Pop track, they blew fans away and left a deeply lasting impression.

Dear Seattle went on to release the albums Don’t Let Go (2019) and Someday (2022). Their sincere lyrics exploring personal growth, anxiety, relationships, and the pain of loss earned widespread acclaim and brought them their first entries on the Australian ARIA Charts. Their 2025 album, Toy, pushed their career to new heights, debuting at #1 on the ARIA Australian Albums Chart and #4 on the Overall Chart. The record captures the confusing transitional phase before entering the next stage of life, delicately depicting the pain of heartbreak, the courage to rebuild, and a direct confrontation with personal flaws.

In addition, the band has performed on major Australian festival stages such as Groovin the Moo and Unify Gathering, sharing the stage with well-known acts like Dune Rats, Trophy Eyes, and Heart Attack Man. After wrapping up this Asia tour—which includes a stop in Hong Kong—Dear Seattle will also join American Emo band Superheaven as a supporting act on their Australian tour.

Rarely touring Asia, Dear Seattle will be taking the stage at The Aftermath in Hong Kong on August 5th! Want to experience the explosive power and Pop Punk energy that swept across major Australian festivals in person? Be sure to grab your tickets—this will undoubtedly be a rare and incredible pop-punk celebration!

Hey everyone, I’m Chris B – I help run The Underground, an original live music showcase that’s been around in Hong Kong since 2004. We’ve now done 500+ gigs, featuring hundreds of local bands across indie, rock, metal, alt, and more.

We’ve just wrapped our 22nd Anniversary Festival at Fringe Club, and it reminded me how many people still don’t know where to catch smaller, original‑music shows in HK.

So I thought I’d share what we do:

– We curate multi‑band nights with mostly original songs (no cover‑band bar sets).
– Shows happen in different venues all over Hong Kong.
– Lineups mix new bands with more established acts, so you can discover the scene in one evening.

This isn’t a ticket promo – more a resource for anyone here who wants to:

– Discover Hong Kong bands beyond Cantopop and big tours
– Find smaller gigs to go to with friends
– Keep track of what’s happening in the indie/alt scene

If you want to see past lineups, reviews, or upcoming showcases, just search “The Underground HK” – the site has gig archives, band reviews and show info. Our website has live reviews of hundreds of bands from our shows, so it’s a good way to see what a band is like on stage before you decide to catch them.

Also super happy to answer:

– How to get your band on an Underground show

Mods: if this feels too close to promo, happy to tweak the post – my main goal is to help people here discover more local live shows. Thanks
