Make sure you come down to this gig next week. It’s a benefit for the centre and the first bands to play on our new stage. Pay as you feel.

#HongKong police are stamping on heads, dragging and beating people senseless. This is how they behave in public. As protestors are arrested, if they able they shout their name and "I will not commit suicide" – alerting us that if they die, it will be at the hands of the State

Don't say rest in peace, say fuck the police...
