Unquestionably one of the most entertaining acts during the recent Clockenflap festival, Yacht, aka founder Jona Bechtolt and the svelte Claire L. Evans, have taken indie dance by storm with their latest LP See Mystery Lights. Brouhaha spoke to Jona about lights in the sky, iPhone punk, evolution and city-wide depression.
Everyone’s unofficial favourite performance at Clockenflap was Beijing electro-cabaret band Pet Conspiracy’s sexually charged show. Backstage with a post-performance glow singer Helen answered Brouhaha’s straight-in-no-kissin’ questions on sex, man-love, drinking and the big HK.

A new month/year/decade calls for a change – unfortunately, for Hong Kong’s foreign population, that change in the media we’re given still hasn’t happened. Faced with a Beijing-run newspaper and an overblown free magazine that lost its luster years ago, we’re constantly given new publications that promise so much more than they deliver. Free magazines come and go in this town, and many foolishly attempt to be the next Rolling Stone, the next Vice or the next GQ. Few, if any, give us Hong Kongers what we want: a magazine by the people, for the people, about the people.
