Billed as the “rudest and funkiest” band on the island, this eight-piece outfit will bring their full brass section in tow as they hit one of Hong Kong’s favorite local dives on Friday night. Expect a lot dancing, skanking and a few people lip singing to songs they wish they knew the words to. And as the gig poster says bring you’re braces, along with some friends and money for booze as well.

Starting on Saturday afternoon the neighborhood will be decked out with more than 80 booths and stalls offering savoury foods and stocks of beers, cocktails and wines along with performances, games and even some parades. Hell yeah!
