Artist History
we are Windmills, a new band based in hong kong. our four members are luna, ricky, michael and ever. we don't see music as a part-time hobby - we take it deadly seriously. our aim is to transform the music scene in hong kong. we put a lot of effort into our songs, something which marks us out from other bands in asia. to us, the melody and lyrics are equally important. our music is different from mainstream asian music which is focused too much on pop idols. luna is our lead singer. she has always loved singing, and began writing songs in 1996. in early 1997 she met ever, and they decided to form a band. forming a band was tough, and luna and ever just couldn't find the right people. luna composed songs and ever played drums - what they really needed was a guitar and bass player. many musicians came and went, but none were suitable. then, in the Fall of 1999, luna heard one of her colleagues, michael, playing the guitar - he was perfect! soon after, ricky appeared and Windmills became a reality. 'break up' was our debut song, and was released over the Internet at the beginning of 2000. 'break up' won a lot of support from our friends and fans. since then, we have continued to write and play songs around hong kong. we released our first ep 'the wind is...' in april 2001 - a milestone in our career! our songs are innovative and fresh. the name Windmills evokes images of fresh air, rolling fields, wild flowers and sunny days. it also brings to mind the imagery of don quixote tilting at windmills. to fight with things we can see is not hard - we believe that only the things we cannot see are the real monsters. Windmills believes every one should keep a windmill in their heart to keep the mind clear. Windmills are doing it. we are doing it for the music. for nothing but the music. |

Press Reviews
"...indie quartet Windmills recently rolled out a six-track EP, on which lead singer luna's innocent vocals surround the band a refreshingly sweet aura. the EP will no doubt yield many accolades as it stands as an alternative in the rock-dominated indie scene. Windmills are not simply after an effect...they are all for creating an arresting atmosphere with their music..." THE VOICE |
