may be we can try gayamyan (假音人). they have one song that mix 40 hk pop songs, and proclaim the death of hk pop song. the song is called 「香港輓歌」, so at least for this song, they should adopt the cc license...  however, i heard that they have signed contract with a company that is very hostile towards flexible copyrights... this maybe a problem... i can reach them via another friend.

another possible band is fang hung A: http://www.fanhunga.com/ a girl band, and has published 3 albums. sweet and timid voices.
they are not as popular as gayamyan, but independent, i think they maybe willing to try CC for their songs, but need some explanation as they are not familiar with cc. during the star ferry preservation protest, they sing in the street to support the activists. can help contacting them.

noise cooperative is a most convenient option: http://mininoise.blogspot.com/
their founder (billy hung) is an ex-staff in oxfam hk and their songs have been circulated around the internet already. they don't care about copyrights (although they do sell their music, i have bought some albums). one of the team member is chow sze chong (from inmedia, he is the drummer), their style is more diverse and they have been working closely with local civil society. - but they are very independent and have song that criticize "disneyland hk" and local version of "this world is not for sale".

there are more options that fall into the above three categories. can try contacting more for the cc launch in hk. 

cheers, oiwan

Hi everybody!  

Does anybody on this list have any idea for a band or musician who might be interested in participating at the iCommons summit in Sapporo (see below)... and hopefully also perform at the cc-HK launch? They don't need to promise to release all their songs under CC for the rest of eternity, but if they would agree to release one song under any CC-HK license, that would be tremendous.

Thanks.

Subject: CC Asia Band -- first step!

Dear all,

The "CC Asia Mega Mix" concert has been a most memorizable night!

Our goal is now to produce a physical CD album by the time of

iCommons Summit and to perform live at Sapporo. To get things going,

I think I will just send everyone (to be) involved this message,

so as to let each of you have the others' e-mail addresses, and

to start planning as groups and as a whole.

Here are the artists appearing at the concert:

monbaza <monbaza AT gmail.com>

Pig Head Skin <pigheadskin.tw AT yahoo.com.tw>

MoShang <moshangmusic AT yahoo.com>

Kou Chou Ching <info AT kou.com.tw>

Jui-Chuan Chang <eye_write AT yahoo.com.tw>

Sudev Bangah <sudevbangah AT hotmail.com>

Lisa Diy <lsdiy66 AT yahoo.com>

Bust This <djjangka AT hanmail.net>

Wonyoung So <bizarre AT bizarre07.com>

Note that we did not have artists from Japan, China Mainland,

and Hong Kong. We will especially need help from

Dominick Chen <dominick AT creativecommons.jp>

Chunyan Wang <cwang360 AT yahoo.com>

Rebecca MacKinnon <rebecca.mackinnon AT gmail.com>

to reach out artists in their jurisdictions to seek their interest.

And we also need

Jon Phillips <jon AT creativecommons.org>

Fumi Yamazaki <fumi AT technorati.jp>

Brandon Wu <Brandon.Wu AT jp.sony.com>

as the liaisons at CC HQ, iSummit Sapporo, and Sony.

Let me also introduce people at the "CC" list:

Alina Ng (CC MY) <ngalina AT stanfordalumni.org>

Jimmy Soniano (CC PH) <jimmy AT soriano-ph.com>

Jongsoo Yoon (CC KR) <iwillbe AT chol.com>

Wen-Yin Chou (CC TW) <emyleo AT iis.sinica.edu.tw>

Bob Chao (CC TW) <bobchao AT iis.sinica.edu.tw>

Tyng-Ruey Chuang (CC TW) <trc AT iis.sinica.edu.tw>

OK! That is for introduction. So please start

talking to one another on ideas and plans!

I hope to see MoShang and Pig Head Skin next week

to see if we have ways to raise money for the project.

Please start looking for sponsors by yourselves as well.

Before anything happens, perhaps we can just enjoy some

of the video of the concert (thanks! MoShang & Bob Chao):

Hello there,

  Thanks for the email. I think we should get an email thread going with all the CC Asia Band members and spark some ideas. I am for the idea of getting a basic melody written out and passed along to everyone for their input and part. Perhaps keyboards & bass can be laid first, or if you like, I can try to spark some things with a guitar riff first? I can get the file over to Mo Shang in whichever format he may need, however, I am thinking mp3 is the friendliest. But we will all keep the layer we recorded in the original form and not the compressed mp3.

 Mo Shang, any thoughts?

 Regards,

Sudev
