The song that gave the band its name. Transnoodle was the nickname of a takeaway, formally called the LumKong. Formerly nicknamed Funky Noodles, which then had a makeover as Trance Noodles after a Lamma Island rave, which then got passed on as Transnoodle. Takeaway is still there and it does the best Sichuanese dishes on any Hong Kong outlying island. Nice guitar work by Andrew Parkinson. Also recorded 2009

Me on vocals, guitar. Joshua John O'Connor - vocals, Koya Hisakazu - bass, Andrew Parkinson - lead guitar, Magnus Norberg - drums, Sam Bruce - trumpet

Imagine This Mix2

Anti-religion song inspired by watching the behaviour of predatory evangelists swooping in on Indonesian maids in Hong Kong. One of them offered to punch me when I told their cowering target that she could always tell them to fuck off. Back in 2006 that was.
