APOLLO 18 / 2012 Live Show - APOLLO 18 in Black Hole Date/ Time: January 13th (FRI) @ 8:00 PM
Award-winning South Korean post-hardcore and post-rock act APOLLO 18, their first live show in 2012 will be held on 13th of January (8 pm) at the KT&G SangSangMadang Live Hall. APOLLO 18 is the trio of guitarist/vocalist Hyunseok Choi, bassist/vocalist Daeinn Kim, and drummer Sangyun Lee thatwere awarded the government-sponsored “Hello Rookie” prize for being South Korea’s most promising young act of 2009. And they won “Rookie of the Year” at the 2010 Korean Music Award. They released their debut EP Red in February 2009 and in July issued full-length album Blue. Both album were received much acclaim from the critics and the indie music fans. And they soon released the album Violet. Also, Apollo 18 received government funding to re-record all of the Red+ that were added extra tracks to the disc in January 2010. APOLLO 18’s rapid rise to top-tier status in South Korea’s rock ranks was further cemented with their “Rookie of the Year” win at the 2010 Korean Music Awards in March. A nationwide tour along with performances at Seoul’s Green Plugged Festival and the Jisan Valley Rock Festival were also amongst the year’s highlights for the act. In March 2011, APOLLO 18 embarked on their first American tour. Playing 16 concerts in two weeks, the band’s itinerary included well-received appearances at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Music and Media Conference in Austin, Texas and Hot Springs, Arkansas’ Valley of the Vapors Independent Music Festival. In the summer, APOLLO 18 played at the Jisan Valley Rock Festival for the third time, and made their debut appearances at Japan’s famed Fuji Rock Festival and Taiwan’s Beastie Rock Festival. On November 23, APOLLO 18 has released their new EP, Black, through 9 Entertainment. Written after the act’s US tour, the EP’s four tracks were recorded in late May at Zankyo Records’ Tokyo studio. Like Red, Blue, and Violet before it, Black sees Apollo 18 experimenting with different styles and structures while continuing to create some of the most dynamic, exciting, and loudest music in South Korea’s burgeoning music scene. |
