Get ready to shake those Friday hips, Hanoians! FRI 14TH OCTOBER
HRC Presents…A blast from the funkadelic past. This feel-good 60s and 70s night comes with crunches of rock, slaps of soul, frills of funk, and a twist of music history.

Featuring:
Live music VINH XIÊM BAND
(one of the precious few surviving blues/country/rock bands in Hanoi, who lived though the era)
DR. FINE TIME behind the decks
(Marvin Gaye, Baby Huey and the Babysitters, Willie Hutch and The Meters and much more).
Original pre-1975 Vietnamese Rock and Soul
(CBC and Bich Loan, Elvis Phuong, Ban Phuong Hoang, Strawberry Four, more)
And rare documentation/photos/video footage from the Vietnamese bands that once were, festival footage from Wattstax (1972) and Monterey Pop Festival (1967), dress up in your best 60s-70s outfit to win prizes!

The Swinging Sixties and the Groovy Seventies: whether you were old and outrageous enough to have lived them, or young enough to romanticise about them, everybody passionate enough about music, modern history, contemporary art or vintage fashion can see that today’s popular culture would not have looked the same if the baby boomers had not whipped out their flairs, let their hairdo do natural things that science would struggle to achieve, and write/sing songs that have been able to capture the rhythm of the soul in a way that has stood the test of time and seems to prove the human spirit as far superior to technology.

Turn on, tune in, drop out. But not before you’ve had a good old boogie!
