The Making of a My Little Airport Music Video

My Little Airport is the impossibly cute Hong Kong indie band, founded by songwriter Ah P and vocalist Nicole. Their music is twee, their aesthetic coy, and their live shows are happy, clappy affairs. Quaint keyboards and lightweight call-and-response ditties about “toddling” in the zoo and forbidden romances are their calling cards. Since 2004 they have released 3 albums to much acclaim from the comfort and privacy of their own homes. The elusive, anti-tech My Little Airport seldom play live, but every time they do it is a wondrous full band affair.

For Roland, it is a combination of love and passion for the art of producing/sound engineering that fuels his quest of doing music full-time. “Music is an expression of my personality and soul. The main driving factor for me is to produce albums that people will enjoy and talk about for the rest of their lives. Knowing that I’ve made a change or given people the belief to follow their dreams and passion for music is definitely an added bonus.”

When you think of a fan’s bedroom you may think of a colorful CD shelf, illegible autograph books, and photo albums full of rock stars… But have you ever seen a fan who has transformed their bedroom into a rehearsal room for rent so they can be closer to the bands they love?

When a mutual friend introduced Lesley Chew and Errol Tan at a music event years ago, little did they know they would one day become the DIY king and queen of local indie music. Both have been brought up in families that instilled the love of music in them when they were just wee toddlers. With a common interest, the engaged couple indulged in alternative and indie music voraciously, stacking up piles of vinyl records, paying pilgrimage to music festivals around the world and supporting the local music scene the best they could with their patronage.

這個點子是早上梳洗的時候想到的。

In Hongdae the indie scene is anywhere you want it to be. Hanging out, making music, relaxing, partying all blend into one state of creative being that is happening everywhere. From the bathroom to the rooftop; it’s not about where you are it’s about what you make it.
