Event information

Hong Kong Gardeners Club are proud to present:

Orphans and Vandals
Their music has been banned as too rude by BBC Radio 6, now come and see the London 5 piece play live...

Popjunkie said " Orphans and Vandals are fronted by singer/songwriter Al Joshua. Imagine Lou Reed, but if he was stuck between the boroughs of Camden and Islington, rather than walking the mean streets of New York.
The five-piece had me transfixed and it wasn’t just because of their female band members (Francesca and Quinta on strings, percussion and glockenspiel, and Gabi on drums - she’s especially fascinating to watch, as she’s essentially a female Keith Moon, but with, added, err, harmonium playing skills). On stage, Al talks his way through his songs in a Jarvis Cocker-esque delivery, or spits and snarls like Luke Haines. During the staggering, colossal Mysterious Skin, he even sings about someone ejaculating all over him. So, if you’re looking for a grandiose, seedy, yet beautiful, soundtrack to modern London life (aren’t we all?), then Orphans and Vandals have, ahem, got it covered."

Aeroplane Attack
Aeroplane Attack are a 5-piece band based in Portsmouth, England who make music which tends to involve fuzzy guitars, the sounds of old synths and as many weird and old effect pedals as possible.
