Brighton indie pop band, The Bobby McGee's, will bring their ukuleles to first Hong Kong show. The band will play Rock School in Wan Chai on March 19. Advance tickets are priced at HK$200 and tickets at door are priced at HK$250. They will be available from February 20 at Rock School, White Noise Records, Zoo Records and Select 18 (see addresses below) or online via www.wegottickets.com.
If you are not familiar with the band, here is their short bio for you:
"Jimmy McGee is the grandson of a pirate king. Eleanor McGee would have been a Russian princess were it not for the Nazis. Rebecca is the daughter of a mad professor and an Italian nun. Graeme is a full blood gypsy... of times known as the Django of the bass."
The band have released a few EP's and their debut album, L'Appropriation Bourgoisie De La Bobby McGee's, was released in July 2009.
On the same night, you will also see a fashion show by Dig For Victory! by Eleanor Callaghan, who turns vintage fabric from curtains, tablecloths, napkins, bedspreads, 80s sportswear into nice and beautiful one-off retro-inspired dresses and jackets. This fabulous event is once again presented by Songs For Children, who brought us Theoretical Girl last year.
