Tux is a Hong Kong alternative rock band formed in September 2012, the four-member group consists of Dawn (Vocal, Synthesizer, Guitar), Victor (Guitar), Kevin (Bass) and Tak (Drums). Beginning initially with a unique and distinctive shoegazing sound, along the way Tux blended more psychedelic and pop elements into their songs, trying and succeeding in developing a wider, richer sound to their music; adding a well rounded and unique variety to their sound. The band released their first EP self-titled record in November, 2013. Tux is now preparing for its second album, which is projected to be released in 2016, according to the band's website. Though considered young, new to the musical scene; the band has been quite active throughout the years, having performed in many varied venues in and around Hong Kong as well as other places such as Taipei. == History == The founding members of Tux, Dawn and Victor were school mates in the Chinese University of Hong Kong. They began writing songs at school when Dawn decided to start a band. She went to Victor, a talented young man whom she met in a school club, who later became the guitarist of the band。After collaboration on a song called "Nothing To You", which was later included into their first EP, the idea was accepted. They also met Kevin, Ajax and Cat, whom they found sharing the same interest in music with, the latter two then joined the initial band. The band took off in September,2012, named with the simplified form of the Tuxedo Cat in memory of a Tuxedo cat once kept by Dawn, whose sudden death saddened her so much. The image of the cat also appears on the coverage of their first EP, which shows a cat floating in a heaven-like blue. The image is also used as their symbol on their own website. One year after the band started out, in November, 2013, the Tux released their first EP "Tux". It consists six tracks, one of which, "Yellow Pills" was later made to a music video. "We are trying to make songs that sound underwater—like you are swimming in the sea alone", remembered by Dawn. Two gigs were held to celebrate the launch on 2, November and 23, November. In 2014, due to some personal reasons, the band once had a period of breaking up for about one year. The Tux re-formed in the beginning of 2015 with Ajax and Cat leaving the group. That is when Kevin and Tak joined in respectively as bass player and drummer. The band then became the four-piece band people see today. A second album by Tux is going to come out in 2016. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tux (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
