Forever Tarkovsky Club
Forever Tarkovsky Club is a one-shot Hong Kong-based indie band made up of Ah P (My Little Airport) and Ho Shan (Pixeltoy). It released its album on July 1, 2009 (a strong symbol, July 1 being the date of a popular protest rally in Hong Kong) and dissolved on July 5, 2009, after a two-night concert they had baptized "All Farewells Should Be Sudden" (and which featured Christina Chan Hau-man). It reunited on January, 8th 2010, when Legislative Councillors voted the funding of the controversial Hong Kong - Guangzhou Express Rail, to lend support to the protestors encircling the Legislative Council.
== Origins ==
The band originated from a group of friends who used to meet to watch movies together. The gatherings quickly evolved into sessions, where Ah P would recite disenchanted poems of his own making (dedicated to prostitutes and other sleazy characters) and Ho Shan indulge in experimental rêveries with his guitar. The magic exuding from their informal collaboration eventually drove the pair to form a band in 2007. Because the group started with the screening of movies by the late Russian director Andreï Tarkovski, it was named after him.
The band first hit the newspapers in December 2008, after the controversy raised by their debut concert : "X-Mas Half-Nude Party" (聖誕半裸派對). The naughty Facebook advertisement for the show - a picture of their female friend Siu Ding posing half-nude with Ah P's melodica across her chest -, in line with the title of the concert and the music video (the first nude MV Hong Kong had ever seen), had some fear an orgy was on plan. And, although, in reality, "X-Mas Half-nude Party" is but the title of the band's third song, the moral fuss which had developed around the concert prompted the Wan Chai Police to intervene (on the grounds that it is illegal to host a public function in a private premise !) and the show was eventually cancelled.〔See: Wong Nicole, "Getting Noticed At Last, China Daily, January, 24th 2009〕 The incident inspired the band to write the song: 灣仔差館奇遇記.
