In today's TODAY
We're mentioned in an article titled "Singapore's got talent" by Christopher Toh of TODAY newspaper.
Said Kevin: "I've always believed that the one thing that is lacking in the Singapore music scene is not talent, but proper guidance, support and encouragement.
"TAP fits the bill by providing this to our young, talented apprentices. Young artists like King Kong Jane, Rachael Teo, Freaky Z and Nick Tan have certainly benefited from this."

Our first wedding gig and some new band photos
We performed in Hort Park last Friday (with bow ties!) for our very first wedding gig. When Jianping first told me about the gig, I wasn't so sure how our music would go down at a wedding. Thankfully, no one threw shark's fin in our direction, although I really wish the unexpected interruption during our second song didn't happen.
Here's our set for the wedding, which saw us performing some covers we first learnt a loooooong time ago...
Waiting for Friday
Take Me Out (Franz Ferdinand)
Dancing Shoes (Arctic Monkeys)
Beautiful Love (The Afters)
You're All I Have (Snow Patrol)
If It Wasn't For You
So Love!
Chasing Cars (Snow Patrol)
Lollipop
Umbrella (Rihanna)
Lemonade
Before the gig, we were introduced to professional photographer Mark Teo, who kindly helped us to take a few shots, out of which these 2 are our favourites =)
