Gospel is what you will experience when SHAKE's full band and guest choir interpret the music of Kirk Franklin, Deitrick Haddon and many more to bring you raw power and waves of sound that Shanghai has never felt before. Go devil go! Dinner from 6pm; music from 10pm. Dress Code: Fix up, look sharp. RSVP and table booking highly recommended.
