Two talented trios, Seoul’s The Plastic Day and Ilsan’s Apollo 18, are pairing up for a co-headlining gig at Live Club Ssam (Ssamzie Space) in Hongdae on Saturday, May 1. The Plastic Day’s “30 Seconds Between The Dreamer And The Realist” and Apollo 18′s “[0] Album” (or “The Blue Album”) were my two favourite Korean albums of 2009.
The bands will set up their equipment next to one another and will take turns playing short sets of material. While both are promising to play more than 60 minutes of their own rock cuts, the real fun will come when they mix and match members. Apollo 18′s bassist Dae Inn and drummer Sang Yoon will back The Plastic Day’s guitarist Sun Ho for several songs. Returning the favour, The Plastic Day’s bassist Ho Seong and drummer Yun Beom will join with Apollo 18′s guitarist Hyun Seok.
Here’s a teaser video the acts have made for the gig:
Doors at Live Club Ssam (Ssamzie Space) will open at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday night and the concert will start from 7 p.m. Tickets are 15,000 won at the door.
