FRI 01 | It’s May Day and Show Box is ready and rearing to embrace it, transforming their upstairs gallery/performance space into a high-octane mini-festival of live bands ranging from expats to exports. Panic Jerks are known for playing at packed out Show Box open mics, while the Kampot Playboys have become one of the most in-demand interstate bands in the Kingdom, thanks to their affecting fusion of Western and traditional rock. Ziad Samman (who some will recognise from Tango & Snatch and Two Shots And A Chase) will fly all the way from his new home in Hong Kong to showcase his skill in his former city of residence, while Red Tin Dragon will round out what is likely to be a night of fun, sweat and loud, unapologetic rock.
