Singfest 2008 - debrief pt2

August 6, 2008

Work has been hectic, so I haven’t had the time to sit down and write about Singfest. To date, it’s the best concert I’ve been to.

I’ve been listening to Jamie Scott & The Town for quite a while now, and surprisingly, he doesn’t have a huge following here in Singapore. Every time I mention his name, I get the “Who is he? What does he do?” answer. But judging by the crowd’s response on Sunday arvo, I’m sure he has scored himself a few more fans from Singapore.

I’m just so glad I got to listen to him live! … At times he sounds like a combination one of my other fav singer Ray LaMontagne and Paolo Nutini.

I think the only down side was the heat! It was scorching hot, and we were all trying to keep cool with the ONE electric fan i brought. I reckon the organisers should have at least put a few industrial sized fans to cool us down. The crowd was ok, although it did get a bit rowdy when Jason Mraz came on.

Here are a couple more of my favourite photos of the night.

Sorry there isn’t any pussycat dolls, rick Astley photos. I was a bit busy then.

So will i go to Singfest again? Well if the line up is going to be as good as this year, hell yeah!

Bookashade for ZoukOut 2007

October 15, 2007

OH MY GAWWWWWWWDD!! BOOKASHADE IS COMING TO SINGAPORE FOR ZOUKOUT!!!

I’ve danced to their music in Perth, got their awesome album online, bobbed to their tunes at work,and used their track as a ringtone on my phone.

Bookashade is the Berlin-based electronic duo, comprised of long time friends Arno Kammermeier and Walter Merziger. They have released two albums, “Memento” and “Movements” and the one I’m digging now is the latter.

I’ve put up my Radio.blog again on the top right, with a few of their tracks from that album.

If there were reasons to go to ZoukOut this year, it would be for the following line-up of artistes.
* Bookashade
* Armin van Buuren (my fav trance DJ, back in the days)
* Giles Peterson (i wonder who is the secret surprise performer)
* Carl Cox

ZoukOut 2007, Saturday 8 December

Sneaky Sound System

July 8, 2007

Definately one of the best things that has come out of Australia aside from Penfolds, Kylie and Tim Tams. Wayne and i were vegging in front of the TV, watching the awesome performances on Live Earth and this group got us jumping out of the bed, and on to google to find out more.

Listen to their songs on their website HERE. There are links on their website to buy the album if you digg their tunes.

Hmmm… i think it’s time i put up my radio.blog again!

Nouvelle Vague

May 14, 2007

they didn’t play my song….i can’t believe it! Few years ago when i had my old blog, there was one song that was constantly on the playlist, and it was my favourite tune for the longest time. They played all their big hits on saturday, except for that one song…


Besides the crowds, and some weird random girl blowing my hair off my shoulder and trying to squeeze between me and another guy… the night was alright. Manage to get a pretty good viewing spot in the very packed Zouk.
