Specialties and Special Ties – Phnom Penh & Hong Kong
Specialties and Special Ties – Phnom Penh & Hong Kong
BY Troy Campbell
25th May, 2023
The Aftermath is a cool rock and roll venue in Hong Kong’s Central district, and I smile at the Cambodian dots connected by Ziad, Sal and myself. I smile thinking about the numerous Wat Sarawan open mics collected along the way.
Now, not to get into Phnom Penh nostalgia, but it’s very easy to reminisce about the clubs that have come and gone, the Penhois musos who come and go and the club owners and managers who keep/have kept venues running with duct-tape and string, savvy and grit.
I rarely discuss my former lives in Austin and New York City, but like Ziad, I talk about Cambodia all the damn time, venerating The Harbor in Siem Reap, the well-curated line-up at Oscars on the Corner, my impromptu jams with friends in Battambang.
Because of an open mic at Rubies Wine Bar in 2013, I am currently in a working band in Hong Kong. Because of a connection made at Oscars during the pandemic, I now have a place to stay in Hong Kong, on the beach, no less. Because of a CD purchased in Singapore in 2011, I am a very lucky guy today. Stupidly so.
