The 5.6.7.8's Live in Hong Kong 2024 | Concert Introduction

Plan 9 Promotions and Mod Sound Promotion are delighted to bring The 5.6.7.8’s direct from Tokyo live at the Hong Kong Fringe Club on Saturday 29th June. Joined by a loose but regular, rotating line-up, the band are still very active and continue to release records and embark on worldwide tours. Legend has it that they invented their name by using the first numbers of the decades by which they were most influenced; 50s, 60’s 70’s 80s. Their songs, with twanging guitar and thundering drums, serve as a to soundtrack their joint love of beehives, rock and roll and tattoos. “We wanted to deconstruct that Chuck Berry-style rock’n’roll into punk music by using noise and distortion and screaming,” says Fujiyama.

“We’re also inspired by girl groups such as the Ronettes and the Shangri-La’s, and wanted to incorporate elements of that into our music. When Quentin Tarantino himself was doing some last minute clothes shopping in Tokyo, he chanced upon a boutique who’s was playing a 5678s CD via the shop music system. Without any time to go record shopping himself, he offered to buy the shop copy, but the assistant, a devoted 5678s fan stubbornly refused until the manager was called. Negotiations ensued and a price of double the going rate was finally agreed. Subsequently, Tarrantino invited the band to perform three songs for ‘Kill Bill – Vol 1’, and even made an appearance as the house band at ‘The House of Blue Leaves’.
