My Little Airport is a Hong Kong-based indie pop band. Their lyrics are marked by spelling, grammar, and rhythm inflected by Hong Kong English. P (Lam Pang) plays the guitar and Nicole (Nicole Au Kin-ying) sings.
The band had its start while the two were students at Hong Kong Shue Yan College, writing songs in both English and Chinese.[1] They established Harbour Records with four other indie bands from Hong Kong, and on it released their 2004 debut album The OK Thing to Do on Sunday Afternoon Is to Toddle in the Zoo. In 2006 they joined Elefant Records, hoping to gain distribution beyond Hong Kong's small indie fanbase.
The duo is also notable for their quirky song titles, often addressed to friends, such as "Leo, Are You Still Jumping Out of Windows in Expensive Clothes?", "Victor, Fly Me to Stafford", or addressed to celebrities, such as "Gigi Leung Is Dead", "Faye Wong, About Your Eyebrows".
In 2009, the group started writing politically themed songs such as "Divvying up Stephen Lam's $300000 Salary" and "Donald Tsang, Please Die". The latter song was written after Tsang suggested that the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 was insignificant compared to China's current economic power.[2]
