A random weeknight at Blue Monkey Bar turned into one of the most charged shows Saigon has seen in recent memory. With Haywire headlining their first Vietnam appearance, the local lineup rose to the occasion and the crowd made sure nobody walked away disappointed.

Bro I don’t even know whose shoulder I landed on but thank you, genuinely.
I came with a camera and a plan.. Haywire, Boston hardcore, raw street punk fused into something meaner. Shoot the first three songs, stay professional. Then he pulls the crowd in like it’s a conversation and suddenly you’re not a spectator anymore, hold the camera up

Boston hardcore landed in Saigon for the first time, and Blue Monkey Bar held nothing back. Haywire brought the raw, street-level energy that made them a name worth crossing oceans for, backed by a local lineup that proved the city’s scene has plenty of its own weight to throw.

Cot Ket Volume 4 delivered another unprofitable, unapologetic night of hidden frequencies. From WHOLESOMR’s ambient mattress jam and N6ONE%’s blackout-interrupted dream pop, to imryll’s cybernetic vocals, until TRNGS shut the whole gig down with eviction-inducing industrial noise.

Room 128’s latest showcase at Tone Lab marked a quiet milestone in the band’s seven-year journey, reflecting both their musical evolution and growing connection with the local indie scene. Supported by the youthful shoegaze sounds of 4our, the night blended dreamy atmospheres, emotional performances, and an intimate sense of community that made the small venue feel personal.

Show organized over night made out of almost every prominent up-and-coming hardcore act in Saigon. Da Bomb!

Scene Incubator #1 didn’t pack the room, but we’re not in the rush. With Route59, Lulaby, and ChipPunks splitting the night between thrashy punk and softer melodies, the show found its strength in closeness, where every riff, every chorus, and every shared smile landed harder for the smaller crowd.
