About the artists:
Penny Time
One of Bangkok's best up-and-coming bands makes its Maggie Choo's debut. Featuring two artists from BK Magazines top Thai bands to watch in 2018 Daniel Didyasarin (City Plant) and Gong Prachumchonjaron (Happy 3 Friends) this young four piece is set to blast off the stage. In a scene where 'shoe gaze' and limited stage energy is the thing, Penny Time present a real stage show and will no doubt impress the Maggie Choo's audience.

===============================================
Maggie Choo's is named after a Shanghai cabaret owner who fled her hometown in 1931 following the Japanese invasion that tore the city apart. Shortly after arriving in Bangkok, she opened a Thai-Chinese shoe box restaurant crammed into a basement ten meters below Silom road serving authentic Thai Chinese shop-house food. When one day, she discovered behind the wall in the corner of the restaurant an entrance that lead to a derelict 19th century East India company bank built in 1847 used for storing porcelain and spices that the British used to carry back to England for Queen Victoria, her past caught up with her and she converted the old bank into a cabaret, just like when she used to host back in her beloved Shanghai.
