Interview for Band Magazine: 鐘氏弟兄的新福音 nu-gospel a la chimes
About 2 months ago, Roger and I did a greta interview with Lenny Kwok (of Blackbird fame) for his new DIY music magazine called BAND. It's a magazine with heart and soul. You have to support it by buying it! It's one of those few genuine and organic magazine that are purely about music and nothing else. For the 2nd issue, Danny Summer is on the cover. There are interviews of p@my little airport, Koya Hisakazu, Alain Caron and of course Danny Summer. We're just honoured to be one of the interviewees.
Check out the snippets here.

如果不是慈善性質，我們不會做這張唱片。
零五年我弟從美國回來香港，我們在教會作了一批歌曲。之前他的一首作
品，贏了一個詩歌比賽。他自始致力創作。我自己則零六年回來，也作了些
作品，發現我們可以做這件事，是個恩賜。我們覺得這些歌寫出來是要去激
勵人，社會上很多人都很迷失，正面的歌能鼓舞人。我們共寫了四十首歌，
不想只在教會唱，教友們本來就支持。
我們很渴望教會以外的人能聽到這些歌。可能他們比教友更需要聽到這些激
勵的、正面的訊息。於是我們開始去做這張唱片。挑選了十四隻出來收錄。
先去接觸一些做福音音樂的producers，看他們有什麼意見，很surprise，他們
對這張唱片很不支持...
Please buy the magazine to continue reading....
We truly enjoyed this interview because Lenny is very knowledgable about the music scene and he still has fire after all these years. We can feel the fire coming from the inside. Please support local music by supporting Lenny's visions!
Also, after being on the CRHK (881)'s interview on 又愛上子夜場, we found the following comments on the bulletin board:
Today,03:15
My Melody
鍾氏兄弟的音樂沒有想像中那麼高水準, 有點自吹自雷
似乎他們身邊的人太有愛心, 把他們讚壞了!
Our response:
We thank My Melody for her comment and we will take it by heart. Every criticism is important to us and we always aim to do better. In fact, we have never proclaimed to have "high standards." We've often said it's still a learning experience for us. There's still lots of room for our improvement and we strive for a better job each time. We gave our best and we will continue to give our best in the future! If our best is not good enough, that's because we have limitations. And we are never shy to admit that.
As to "自吹自雷," if we come across as that, we'll definitely reflect upon it. The last thing we want to do is "自吹自雷." Our aim is to "do justly and walk humbly with God." We are always humble to have received comments like these.
Thank you so much for all your constructive criticism. We treasure all forms of criticism. Honestly, to have discussions on "The Chimes" means people are listening to it and care about it. There's a "talking point!"
Please keep on creating more dialogue on "The Chimes!"
