NEW VIDEO: HOW COULD YOU? (performed at Baybeats 2012)

People can be so cold, you should know
Why can't you be alone, be alone
Didn't you say you'll try, to make it right, to make it right
Look what've done since then, to make it worse, to make it worse

People will try to know, they'll figure it out, they'll figure it out
Why did you have to go let it out, let it out

How could you mess it up
How could you be so blind
How could you go where you didn't wanna go

You should be so ashamed
You should be in control
How could you go where you didn't wanna go

You're someone else that you don't know
You're someone else that you don't know again

People can be so cold, you should know, you should know

NEW SONG & VIDEO: SNOWFLAKES (performed at Baybeats 2012)

Presenting the video for our first performance of 'Snowflakes', a new song we unveiled at Baybeats 2012.






Many thanks to Weetz, Andrea and Jonathan for putting the video together, and for working so hard to get the best audio quality possible.

'Snowflakes' is sonically a departure from the in-your-face anthems which many of you may know us for. We started writing it about two months before Baybeats, and were very thilled to perform it alongside 'How Could You?' last Friday.

It's been a very rewarding and fascinating experience to realize that our sound has evolved, and we can't wait to eventually record and release these new songs.

Thank you for being such a great audience at Baybeats, and if you weren't there, we sincerely hope you like what you hear in the video above.

Snowflakes

We don't look the same, we don't sound the same
Please don't find someone else to blame
All across the universe, we're losing our innocence
We don't look the same, we don't sound the same

There's a million ways of wondering
Why we're here, and why they're not
Look into the crystal ball, can you see how we may fall
We don't look the same, we don't sound the same

Ooo...how much do you care
Ooo...snowflakes everywhere
Mmm...voices in the air
Mmm...I don't understand

Well, this is who we are
Have we really come so far
Oh~

Well, this is who we are
Have we really come so far
Oh~

King Kong Jane - Interview on 'Waiting For Friday' from audsomee on Vimeo.

Esplanade presents In The House: King Kong Jane

Hours before performing for the Mosaic Music Festival, we were interviewed in the Esplanade Library for In The House, a series of intimate sessions that allows musicians like us to share more about what we do.

Here are 3 videos of the entire interview, where we shared our thoughts about making our debut album, growing as a band, our musical influences, the pros and cons of being indie & more...








We also did a stripped down version of 'If It Wasn't For You' right in the Library:

2 more videos from the Waiting For Friday party

Go Away + U.N.S.W.
Our first time performing these 2 tracks from our debut album back to back







How Could You
A relatively new song that's not included in our debut album

Our acoustic cover of 'Animal' by Neon Trees

We performed 2 acoustic covers at the Mosaic Music Festival: 'Someone Like You' by Adele and 'Animal' by Neon Trees.

'Animal' was a pretty challenging song to sing, so we hope what you like what we did with the song, including a little tribute to a Kelly Clarkson hit towards the end of this video:



Oh oh...I want somemore...Oh oh...what are you waiting for...

金刚乐团首张创作大碟隆重发行!

Many thanks to Weetz and Weijie for helping us to take our first step towards conquering the music industry in Taiwan.

LOL.

1 weekend, 2 interviews, 3 gigs

So the weekend that just passed was a pretty busy but awesome one.

Saturday was Mosaic Music Festival day for us, which began with an interview with a journalist from Malaysian newspaper The Star. We'll post up the article when it's out, and many thanks to the Esplanade for making the interview possible.

After our soundcheck at the Esplanade Concourse, we headed over to the Esplanade Library to be interviewed for a segment called In The House. It was quite nerve-wrecking to be interviewed in front of a seated audience, and the cameras and lighting made us feel like we were on TV. Nevertheless, the session went pretty well and we wrapped things up with a stripped down version of 'If It Wasn't For You'.

Our first acoustic set kicked off at 6.15pm, and we were glad to see many friends at the Concourse. But we were definitely more relaxed for our second set at 9.15pm, which ended on a good note with 'Lemonade'.

Here are the songs we performed for both sets, including the Adele and Neon Trees covers which we did for the first time:

Set 1:
Lollipop
Go Away
So Love!
Animal (Neon Trees cover)
If It Wasn't For You
Someone Like You (Adele cover)
Waiting For Friday

Set 2:
If It Wasn't For You
Stranger
Animal (Neon Trees cover)
Waiting For Friday
Someone Like You (Adele cover)
How Could You?
Go Away
Lemonade

Then came Sunday aka Go Red For Women Picnic Day, which saw us heading to Sengkang for a soundcheck at 1.30pm and a performance at 5.30pm. Many thanks to Jason and his team for having us, and congratulations on the post-event media coverage!

We're now in the process of editing some videos that were filmed during these gigs, but here's the first of several videos to come:

Sweet!

Go Away + Where To Go?

While performing 'Go Away' at BluJaz, we threw in a little surprise by covering TypeWriter's 'Where To Go?' towards the end of the song.

TypeWriter was in the audience, and I think we managed to put a smile on their faces!

Check out the video below, where the transition takes place at 3:14...

BluJaz here we come!

Just 1 more night to our first-ever gig at BluJaz!

Since it's going to be a Monday, we'll definitely play this song:



Our set should begin at 8pm, followed by TypeWriter and Cheating Sons.

Hope to see some of you guys tomorrow!

'Lemonade' at Marina Promontory

The last song of our set at Marina Promontory for YOG was 'Lemonade', and as always, the audience participation at the end made our day.

Have we mentioned that this is going to be the last song on the debut album too?



"just look around and you'll find, you're never quite alone...so do yourself a favour, and make it worth your while again..."

'Go Away' at Marina Promontory

Presenting the 3rd video of our YOG gig:



Speaking of gigs, we don't have any coming up at the moment, mainly because of how Jianping and Renquan will be out of the country for the next few weeks.

But rest assured that you'll be hearing from us sooner than you know it!

'So Love!' at Marina Promontory

Here's a new video of us performing our song 'So Love!' at Marina Promontory:



Let's just say we're really happy with the photos and videos that have come out of this gig.

It would be awesome if every stage we perform on comes with that huge screen!

Presenting our debut performance of "How Could You?"

We performed our new song "How Could You?" for the first time at the Esplanade last Sunday.

It's quite a departure from some of our older songs, but we've very proud of it and hope that you'll like what you hear in the video below, courtesy of Weetz.



People can be so cold, you should know
Why can't you be alone, be alone

Didn't you say you'll try to make it right, to make it right
Look what you've done since then to make it worse, to make it worse

People will try to know, they'll figure it out, they'll figure it out
Why did have to go let it out, let it out

How could you mess it up, how could you be so blind
How could you go where you didn't want to go
You should be so ashamed, you should be in control
How could you go where you didn't want to go

You're someone else that you don't know (again)

People can be so cold, you should know, you should know...

Uncle dances to Lemonade!

He's a regular at local gigs.

He's really good at dancing spontaneously.

And he's the uncle I'll always remember for giving us one of our best gigs yet.

Lyrics for "So Love!"

So the day is ending, here you are again
There’s something about the way you make me lose control
And take me everywhere, that I wouldn’t go

Wanna be your man, your small male man
Standing all the way until the final band
Comes rockin’ our world, like The Killers did

Soon we’ll have a place here, to call our very own
We can lie around until the break of dawn
And no one can decide, when we’ll say goodbye

How could I, how could I be better off without you here
I could say, I could say that we have nothing much to fear
I will do, everything that’s need to
Make it through, all the photos with you

So the night is ending, we don’t wanna part
Even though we’re tired after all that fun
Just one more kiss goodnight, and I’ll have to go

How could I, how could I be better off without you here
I could say, I could say that we have nothing much to fear
I will do, everything that’s need to
Make it through, all the photos with you

Look at what they’re saying, oh so love (x4)
Look at what they’re doing, oh so love (x4)
Look at how they’re feeling, oh so love (x4)

How could I, how could I, how could I, how could I be better off without you here
I could say, I could say, I could say, I could say that we have nothing much to fear
