SHAG is a jam band that interprets jazz, rock, and funk through the spirit of punk, blending elements like TurnTable, Hip-Hop, Funk, Ambient, and Noise, pushing the boundaries of music with their psychedelic sound. The band started its activities in the early 2000s, and the participating musicians are all stars. SHAG reformed in 2022 and released their first album “THE PROTEST JAM”! Led by SUGIZO, the eight tracks merge live recordings with meticulous layering, resonating with the era's powerful themes of freedom, human rights, and peace. The lineup features brilliant bassist KenKen, trumpeter Shimpei Ruike, keyboardist Kazuhiro Bessho, next-generation virtuoso drummer Yukino Matsuura, and the talented percussionist Kenji Yoshiura, all evoking the classic brilliance of Electric Miles and Frank Zappa. Now, they are bringing this musical feast to the stage, with their live performance in Hong Kong! This is a music celebration you won’t want to miss - let's join SHAG in exploring the depths of our souls for freedom and passion through psychedelic notes, and feel the infinite power of music!
