Punk fans in HK - rejoice! The last day of Jan in 2012, we shall be graced by none other less than one of the first punk bands to hit the airwaves EVER - The Damned!! Being first-wave forefathers of their glorious, riotous sound hasn’t stemmed their desire to Smash it Up, and so they’re gonna blast your ears out at Grappa’s Cellar. Generous doses of more noise will be provided by opening act The Shadow all the darn way from Houston, TX. Keen to go? Collect tickets directly from Grappa’s Cellar from 5th Jan 2012 onwards, or online, from: damned@hongkonggarden.net If you’re not there, you really have a Grave Disorder…. Presented by The Underground and D.Vision International. For the first time in Hong Kong, the one and only THE DAMNED. The Shadow A Shadow will befall us soon, and we shall be glad for it. No, it’s not Mr. Burns’ giant disc, it’s The Shadow from Houston, TX, who’ll be playing in HK this last day of January, supporting punk legends The Damned, at Grappa’s Cellar. Their music is a strange yet intriguing creature - lots of classic 70s punk bound loosely by more anarchic noise-rock tendencies. Against this background is set the beautiful and powerful voice of Raquel’s vocals - melodic but with the punch of Riot Grrrl. An enthralling combination, to which they do complete justice when playing live. SO don’t let this shadow fall behind you, and check them out while they’re in town - one night only! The Shadow are: Nick (drums) Raquel (vocals) Henrik (guitar) Kika (bass)

Tickets HK$550
