Hong Kong Punk Bands Two Finger Salute and Oi Squad To Open Cockney Rejects Show

By on August 28, 2019

Rarely in the long history of British rock’n’roll has there been a story of such depth, magnitude and sheer turbulence as that of the Cockney Rejects. The band were formed in the late Seventies in East London as an answer to the art school punk that had dominated the scene up until then. Fiercely working class in stance and attitude, the band eschewed the political ramblings of punk’s first wave and sang about the circumstances that surrounded them and millions of street kids in Britain’s inner cities- Police harassment, street battles and football to name three. Signed by EMI after playing four local gigs (less than the pistols!) they found themselves playing sell out tours the length and breadth of the UK and seeing their debut album storm the charts. Due to overwhelming demand, the band returned to the live circuit in 2000, and have since gone from strength to strength, playing to hundreds of thousands of people across the globe with a live set that is so energetic that it has to be seen to be believed. We [Mod Sound Promotion] are delighted to be bringing Cockney Rejects to Hong Kong for the first time as part of the Spirit of ’77 series of events. Hong Kong punk acts Two Finger Salute and Oi Squad will be opening the show.
