Hazden

I was trying to run another blog on lyrics, but taking far too long to get anything done, so I decided to try something different.

So what is this blog?

My name is Geoff Churchill. I was born in New Zealand, but I moved to the little city of Macau about 10 years ago. I work in education, but I'm incredibly passionate about original music.

For a reference point, you can check out my current band here.

The plan with this blog is to help promote music from bands that I know. Yes, like most music fans I've got a huge collection of CD's from international acts on major labels, but that's not why I'm doing this.

So, this will contain posts on local music from Macau (Las Vegas East, as it's sometimes known), some of my friends from across the pond in Hong Kong, plus the various gypsies from New Zealand whom I'm still in contact with.

First shot, Hazden. I met the lead vocalist online when we were both associated with UndergroundHK, the fantastic music event for original music run by Indie musician turned Rock Mum Chris B.

When I briefly ran a Macau sister-group to UndergroundHK (Underground Macau), Hazden were the first band I called over from Hong Kong to perform in little old Macau. They did an admirable job, and we've stayed in touch since.

A couple of months back I noticed something interesting on YouTube. Alina, one of Hazden's songs, was suddenly being covered by other bands in Hong Kong, a testament they were no longer just a band plying their trade on the indie circuit but becoming a band to watch.
