(sori if i irritate you readers out there..:D)
I do not know why but ive got a few word to say abt the music scene in Singapore.
the 3 things dat i wanted to discuss about.
First: The Location,
Two: The Band's Performing,
Three: The Crowd,
First: The Location,
Two: The Band's Performing,
Three: The Crowd,
now lets talk about the location, well..we do know that S.g. isnt dat big country..but are we lack of gig venue nowadays? coz lately most of the flyers that have been posted up on the net (e.g Myspace) or at the jamming studios the venue of the gig is at the same location except with different dates of course...
like now where is newest place to be held a gig? Music Garage! every now and then,
n you go "where is the gig held? ans: music garage." "where the gig held on dat day? ans: music garage(yawnz...Zzzz...)
lets turn back the clock, there was Fort Canning Park, The Substation, I.J (closed dwn), Gas Haus(change name or either closed dwn) The Art House, now Music Garage..
now the most common gig held The Art House n Music Garage.
Two: The Band Performing.
S.g. is small but i could tell you there are many talented bands out there.
its not much different frm what i mention above about the location.
There are many bands in S.G. but why does it have to be the same band with most of the gigs being held? like for an e.g.
Medical Centre

finally.....The Crowd..
its kinda sad ure not famous like d other bands dat played before you,
n wen it comes to your set, most of the crowd walk out on you..
n left your band and a few headed(which could be count by the way) left in the room,
it makes me pissed off.. really. Don't they deserve the support frm you guys? n they could still have the cheek to say "Support Local Music"? basically its plainly favouritism..n they are at best doing it. Cheers, claps n mosh for the big bands..silence, half claps n cricket sound for the unknown bands..thats what it is..
you might not agree to what ive said above..but dat is what currently going on..
no offence but its jus a topic tho:D
