介紹
Ketchup，這個簡單卻特別的名字是誕生於一間非常地道的港式茶餐廳。成立於1998年，當時的他們仍然是中學生，包括Ken Tsoi、Rock以及 Sing。雖然最後只剩下 Ken，但他仍保留Ketchup這個名字。Ken Tsoi在樂隊中身兼創作、吉他手和主音。而事實上Ken是一位香港全職的圖像設計師，音樂創作只是其業餘興趣。Ken住在圍村，所以曾自稱“鄉下佬”，卻因而能創造出與香港大城市繁忙生活中截然不同的作品，他在郊區的家中一手包辦構想﹑作曲、填词、錄音、编曲和封面設計，然後再親自送交别人印制.2006年，Ken推出最新專辑大碟《The Beautiful Things》並與另一獨立音樂人林一峰组成樂團“Bunsen Burner。”.

Biography
Ketchup is a Hong Kong based independent band formed by Ken Tsoi, Rock and Sing in 1998. Although Rock and Sing has been inactive for years, Ken Tsoi has decided to continue releasing albums with the band name Ketchup. Easy-listening and subtle, the music of Ketchup would be best described as cityfolk. A lot of Ketchup’s songs are inspired by experience from daily life in the city of Hong Kong. Along with The Pancakes, Ketchup is one of the very few singers/bands who produce songs in English language in Hong Kong.
