Night Festival @ SMU this coming weekend, with Amateur Takes Control, Lunar Node, and I expect quite a few more bands, but information is sorely lacking on the internets or I’m looking in the wrong places.
For This Cycle is having his EP launch at *scape this Saturday, 7pm.
17th July (Friday) sees Inch Chua playing solo at the Esplanade Outdoor Theatre at 730 and 10pm.
18th July, Anna Judge April’s EP launch at *scape, 6pm, with guest bands Duxton Plains, Deputy Siren and Allura.
It’s happening, y’all!
Email me for deets. Now. Or you can check out our Facebook page.
play my friends are doing. do check it out, SG peeps.
I haven’t been so excited about something since I saw a grasshopper in my garden yesterday night! This is the play that has been my labour of love.
I will be playing a nosey shopkeeper type person :)
widya, you and i are going!
A.U.M, I Am David Sparkle, Paris In The Making, tomorrow evening at 73 Bussorah Street and I can’t go :( :( :(
WeekendTRIP - NOISE Edition. Some familiar acts, and a bunch of new ones. NOISE looks like they’re ready to show off the talents they’ve been incubating the past year. If Rachel Teo is any indication of the standards over there then this should be a great weekend. More info on the Facebooks.
Postbox EP Launch
Saturday 21 Feb, 7pm at *scape
$15 entry+EP
With guest performances by The Lazy Susan, For This Cycle, and Lunar Node
It’s Postbox’s EP launch! They are really tight and if you like upbeat indie pop or even if you don’t I guarantee it will be fun times. Check out them MySpaces for a preview.
Butttttttt I can’t make it because I already have an appointment on Saturday to play Guitar Hero and drink lots of beer and eat roast duck pizza.
End So it wasn’t so bad, and not just because I’ve drastically lowered my expectations since last week. Here’s to better shows.
9:29 Next episode: Plainsunset (yay), Marchtwelve (yay), and Kate of Kale
9:26 Just please be mindful of people who don’t actually enjoy hurting each other?
9:22 A Vacant Affair are on with We Are Not The Same, great song. Jerkwads in the middle, it’s cool if you mosh this one
9:18 Marcus going crazy with the wailing ambient guitar effects — possibly my favourite thing about VR?
9:17 Jerkwads in the middle moshing
9:16 VR’s Spaceman. One of their better pieces.
9:11 Tic Tac ad seems to encourage popping multiple sweets at once — possible laxative effects?
9:07 Jack & Rai again, The Fa La La Song. I love these guys.
9:03 Bad ACS band playing Mr Brightside. Didn’t know they took cover bands. On the bright side (ha ha) that might be an easy way to get onto the show, play some DT or something
9:02 Jack says “expose” and doesn’t look like a creep — Utt please take note
8:57 aughhh Singtel ad prominently featuring Arial Bold
8:55 Presenting Shigga Shay, Chinese kid trying to be a white guy trying to be a black guy. Bloody annoying accent (no offence intended to people who actually, naturally speak like that)
8:52 Utt says “Myanmar”, Adam corrects him, “Burma actually”, Utt says “Myanmar” again
8:49 OMG programmed drums. GUYS CAN I SESSION FOR YOU
8:48 Eden State playing Crash Into You, which I posted earlier today. Guitars’ a bit rough and off intonation? Don’t just slap on a capo (especially on the first fret) and expect it to work perfect guys
8:48 “exposed”
8:43 Utt says “exposed” for the fourth time
8:40 Cam pans past some jerkwad filming with a digicam. Hello?
8:39 For This Cycle are on with just Weiwen and percussion
8:39 Utt makes some tasteless comment about Fiona
8:37 Jack & Rai (and that other guy) play Fiona, awesome
8:35 Idiots making faces at the cams
8:34 Missed most of Vertical Rush’s opening song
For This Cycle - For What It’s Worth. For This Cycle is the very talented Weiwen Seah, who seems to travel with a substantial entourage/choir — I saw him opening a rather loud show at *scape, alone, and (I thought) looking somewhat out of place, but by the first chorus there were a good dozen or so boys yelling along. This first peek at a fuller alt rock sound makes me very sorry I missed his shows tonight, but he’s playing one more tomorrow (Saturday) at 7.30pm at the Esplanade outdoor theatre.
P.S. Apologies if it sounds a bit scratchy. I keep forgetting Tumblr only takes mp3s and had to re-encode a lossy copy.
