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 !)
Their debut concert finally took place at Kubrick, a well-known bookstore and cinema located in Yau Ma Tei (which also happens to be workplace of the heroes of Ah P's notorious poems), on December 28, 2008, and took a more respectable name : "Healthy Moral Christmas Party".
