By popular demand the awesome and inspirational WONK UNIT will be coming to Hippos this May with support from The Rhetoric
Based in the South London town of Croydon, the band has its origins in lead singer/songwriter/guitarist Alex Wonk’s experience in rehab 25 years ago, where he found journaling and sharing his experience with others liberating. After completing his time in hospital, Alex set about crafting songs from his “addiction journals,” and from this sharing of unvarnished honesty, Wonk Unit was born.
Just as journaling and sharing with others in rehab helped Alex to get sober and see a way through to the next stage of life, sharing songs that speak the truth of his experiences with the band’s audience continues to carry him through life’s ongoing struggles. Consequently, the band has attracted a large and diverse group of devoted fans who immediately recognize that these are true stories of resilience that can serve as a touchstone in their own lives.
