Another Step of Life

It has been a period of change for us, the remaining 4 of us who are still in school are graduating soon (in 2 weeks we'll be done with school stuff), which means we have to make plans for ourselves to cope with this big change in our lives. No more jam studio for us to practise as and when we like in Hall, no more flexible hours for us to play with, no more pretty clothes for us everyday (for one of us)...

We have moved to Joo Chiat to jam and continue our quest to write music that reflects our character as a band. Thanks to SK and Stagecrew studios, we have found a second home for us to leave our equipments and jam! Well we'll certainly miss our cosy Hall jam room.

As for our personal lives... Ian the grandpa has already been working for almost half a year as a computer engineer. Colin the writer is so good with his work that he has already started working with an online recruitment company as an EDITOR of their publication! So talented is he that he skipped the role of a writer to go straight up to run the magazine! Ruishen the effects man is adding more ambiance sounds into his life by starting work with an engineering company for his internship before completing what's left of his time in NS. Renquan the pretty boy is going to look for a job that allows him to earn money while he continues to look good in photos on stage with the band. Jianping the dumb is still wondering why he was so dumb to sign on as an Air Force officer just to get them to pay for his degree in Marketing. Difficult but exciting times to come... difficult cos we now have to juggle work with music, exciting because we are going to experience new things in life, which will in turn reflect in our music!

Have you heard of the fabulous band, Peepshow? We are invited to play for their EP launch at the Arts House in May!!! I think they are our closest mates we have in the local scene and it will be a great honor for us to contribute to their launch! They mentioned us in their interview with Lime magazine recently, calling us one of the young and upcoming local bands. Young? haha i dun think so... up and coming? we certainly hope so, although we dun wanna stay in that "up and coming" category for too many more years... here's a look at their poster and handsome faces...



Come for their launch and check out their dazzling performance and fantastic songs! Unfortunately Jianping will be flying to Korea to attend a wedding so we'll be having a better drummer to replace him for this gig! Shaun from Blackstar will be playing for us!

support local bands! support local bands that are not emo-rock bands!!! Support Peepshow and King Kong Jane!
