History

31G (pronounced as three one G) idea from the Joy Division's song "Warsaw". The band was formed in 2005 around Alok’s shoegazing psychedelic rock album '29 Minutes From the End'. The first iteration of 31G performed for around one year until Alok moved on to his ambient music and another musical project A Roller Control.

31G reformed in 2010 to continue the same musical idea, as well as to create new songs. So far there is no firm decision on if anything, including the line up would be permanent. The 2011 line up consists of Sean Yung of UNiXX, Abe Lui of D O W N E R, and Kee Tam and Simon Ho of Luxury. In this 2011 formation, 31G have played in Macau and a festival in Guangzhou.
