Broken Social Scene Singapore 2010
Sorreh this came very late. But I still do remember what I wanted to say about the band. if you wanna qualify to be a part of BSS, you will have to: 1. play more than 3 instruments very well and be able to sing 2. drink beer on stage 3. look wearing vintage clothes… Read More
Slash + Coheed and Cambria
I was waiting for Welcome Home. And it was awesome. Anyway, the crowd was a mix of older people and young kids – ignorantly trapped in the heart of the crowd at the front. Disappointingly, there wasn’t any moshing until the 3rd last song. And man, the mosh pit area was muddy and I almost… Read More
Placebo
My last Placebo concert was at the BKK Rock Fest some years back. I’m really not a fan of the new album Battle for the Sun, but they did quite well overall. Of course, when they sang Special K and Bitter End, the crowd went crazier than ever. notice how security always becomes unintentional subjects… Read More
Au Revoir Simone
You know it when fame doesnt get to the heads of some people. It shows. In their demeanour, the way they look at the crowd, the way they smile. Au Revoir Simone’s a genius band, full of creativity and I daresay, great packaging. Talent goes a long way too. But you’ll see why I say… Read More
Big Night Out – Saosin, Rise Against & Muse
Now I know why people dont get insurance coverage for going to gigs. Dying in the mosh pit is a very plausible phenomenon. Or losing your shoes. Well, I survived. The second crazy Muse concert. There was no slope of death this time (cos we weren’t at Fort Canning) but the people were still as… Read More

YYYs to be in Singapore!
FINALLY. I was wondering which production house would wake up and bid for them to be here. And there were three. and of course, Greenhorn has really proven its tenacity as a noob in the scene. Slay! I will be there. Now I will hear ‘tick’ not just from my brother’s alarm clock. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP8YNJiGjJk] YowYowYow!!!… Read More
Foxxxy Lady!
I’ve met many rockstars (figure of speech, i dont mean ‘rock’ rock. Lovefoxxx has got to be the friendliest I’ve ever met. No airs at all, and she obliged about 984392 (ok im exaggerating) people with their autograph and phototaking requests at 330 am. And then she went like, “Yay everybody, lets drink!” During her… Read More
i had a taste of chaos!
When A Vacant Affair opened for the show, I thought to myself, would I stay this comfortable, clean and having enough space around me the whole time? I thought wrong. The minute As I Lay Dying hit their first note… the whole crowd was pushing and moshing. Not in a bad way though! I was… Read More
