we’ve arrived in the great white north. come check us out at any of these spots!
Hey there Noughtie fans!
We have a load of exciting news to share with everyone this month! Here it comes:
TOURING
We’ve just got back to Hong Kong after 2 awesome little tours. Firstly we played MIDI festival in Rizhao, China, and then we did a tour of Singapore and Malaysia ending in a night-time performance at BAYBEATS festival on the Singapore waterfront!
MIDI was incredible and the Chinese audience was amazing. You can see highlights in our video journal here
As for Singapore, keep your eyes open as the next tour journal is coming soon!
SIGNING
We’re SUPER thrilled to tell you that we’ve recently signed to US label Spectra Records for distribution and licensing of our album ‘The Start Of Us’ in North America!!
Record label! US!! Crazy!
This means that the album will be launched there early next year, and also that we will have Spectra’s help to tour the US in support of the album. Which is incredible!
We are, however, still an independent band and retain full creative control over our music… BUT we also get the support of a team of dedicated and knowledgeable folk who believe in the commercial potential of our album!
We hope North America is ready, ‘cos Noughts and Exes is going global!
GIGGING
We’re honoured to have been invited to play at FullCup again for their 8th birthday!! FullCup is a funky little café which supports Hong Kong music with a passion, and it’s a great place for a stripped-down acoustic set.
However, this show will be special for another reason… this will be Kez’s last performance with Noughts and Exes!
She gets married the day after the show (!) and is leaving HK with her new husband for pastures new. So we are going to celebrate the last 2 years and send her off in style. If you’re in HK and available, come and join us! details here
As well as being Kez’s final show, FullCup will be our last gig in Hong Kong for a while as we take a break for a couple of months.
Partially this is because we’re heading to Canada at the end of September. We have been invited play in the Envol et Macadam festival in Quebec, after which we’ll do a short tour around nearby cities to introduce Canadians to our music!
But it’s also because we’re planning something very big and exciting for our HK fans in November… can’t tell you more than that right now! Stay tuned for more news…
PHEW. Lots of news in the past few weeks!
In the meantime, ‘Like’ us on Facebook, stalk us on twitter, watch us on YouTube, hear us on Grooveshark, and tell your friends that folk music ain’t just for old peoples.
seeya soon
Noughts and Exes
hey everyone.
we’re currently in the midst of our S.E. Asian tour, but just wanted to take a little time out to tell you about an important show we have coming up on 11th Sept.
We will be playing at FullCupMusic again for their 8th anniversary… but along with this auspicious occasion we have something else to play for.
This will be the LAST show with our beloved Kerrie-Anne as she’ll be leaving hong kong for greener pastures with her new husband. We’re very sorry to see her go, but are excited to be able to celebrate with her and send her off in style.
So come along and help us say goodbye to her. it’s going to be an evening to remember.

just had an incredible night at Midi Fest Rizhao.
met some fantastically nice people and had an awesome set on the Song Stage.
It’s just so refreshing being part of a festival because there’s such a camaraderie and warm community of people who are all there simply for their love of music. that’s a hard experience to replicate elsewhere.
a huge thank you to the many lovely fans and friends who came to our stage to support us, and after to our merch tent to say hi.
this is really the beginning of something very special and i can’t wait to meet more of the amazing people we’ll encounter along the journey.
photos and videos to come very soon!

got lots of great shows lined up and it’s gonna be a blast!
Milk in a bag, Neil Young and Tim Hortons coffee .. We’re Canada bound folks!
We’re stoked and shocked to win the Planetrox China final over the weekend. A night we won’t forget and all the best to the other great bands that played that night!
We’re honoured to represent Hong Kong and China in the Great White North. Particularly interesting as Gideon’s FROM Canada but hey, we’ve got Aussies, Hong Kongers, and Brits amongst us and that diversity’s reflective of this great city of Hong Kog, which we all now call home.
Thanks everyone for the huge support and thanks Planetrox and Underground for the opportunity. We’ll do our best to represent HK indie well!
