MY LITTLE AIRPORT
my little airport is a Hong Kong-based indie pop band. Their lyrics are marked by spelling, grammar, and rhythm inflected by Hong Kong English. Ah P (Lam Pang) writes the lyrics and the music, which he also plays, while Nicole (Nicole Au Kin-ying) sings. They occasionally invite friends (Ah Suet, who speaks French, for instance) or relatives (Nicole's younger sister) to participate to their albums and shows. They established Harbour Records with four other indie bands from Hong Kong, and on it released their 2004 debut album the ok thing to do on sunday afternoon is to toddle in the zoo. In 2006 they joined Elefant Records, hoping to gain distribution beyond Hong Kong's small indie fanbase.
The band had its start while the two were journalist students at Hong Kong Shue Yan College, writing songs in both English and Chinese. Then, they intended to put into use the lessons learnt in class, and this is why many of their songs can be said to address the basic questions: "Who ?", "What ?", "Where ?", "When ?", as journalistic works typically do. The duo is also notable for their quirky song titles, often addressed to friends, such as "leo, are you still jumping out of windows in expensive clothes?", "victor, fly me to stafford", or addressed to celebrities, such as "gigi leung is dead", "faye wong, about your eyebrows". In 2009, the group started writing politically themed songs such as "divvying up stephen lam's $300000 salary" and "donald tsang, please die". The latter song was written after Tsang suggested that the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 was insignificant compared to China's current economic power (such social/political themes had already been extensively developed by Ah P with Forever Tarkovsky Club, a side project he had set up with Pixeltoy's Ho Shan between 2007 and 2009). Its latest album titled poetics — something between montparnasse and mongkok was released on November, 23rd, 2009.
