Thanks to a bout of sickness, Ruishen wasn't in a previously released video of us performing for "Waiting For Friday".
Which makes this the first video featuring the song in its full glory =)
Jianping's face is visible right at the end, so if you're a Jianping groupie, don't give up halfway.

The one with the new song that sounds like a japanese anime theme song
We were pretty blown away by the excellent sound during our soundcheck at Powerhouse in St James Power Station yesterday.
Mike Cho and Ark Analogy performed before us, and I was particularly impressed with the frontman of Ark Analogy, who's a great guitarist and singer. Really enjoyed watching Kevin perform "Gum" at the end of his set too.
It was fun to be able to tweet before going on stage, and thinking about Twitter actually led to me flubbing a couple of lines during "Crowded". But I was pretty happy with the set as a whole, thanks to a crowd that clapped and danced along to several of our songs.
We also played an as-yet-untitled new song, which Weetz has immortalised in the video below.
As you can hear, we're still working on the lyrics for the song, so if you've got any suggestions for what the song should be about, drop us an email at kingkongjane@gmail.com
Last but not least, thank you again to Kevin and Jonathan for inviting us to perform for such a meaningful event, and here's our set list for the gig:
Stranger
Crowded
If It Wasn't For You
Lollipop
The new song that sounds like a Japanese anime theme song
Waiting For Friday
Lemonade
