Chris Carrabba @ Esplanade
Chris.. who? He is the man who made Vindicated sound vindicated. Imagine if Akon or A1 sang it… not gonna happen. He is the lead for Dashboard Confessional and he is “amazing guy” (screamed dude somewhere in front).
It was a nice demographic of old and young, who must have at some point of time emo-ed to Dashboard Confessional. This time all ready to welcome Chris and his...

Laneway Fest Prep List
It is that time of the year again for St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival. Wazaaaaaa!
Sun: bring out your sunnies and sunblock, (and poncho, and crossed-fingers).
Wear shoes. By that I mean sneakers and anything covered or strapped. Flip-flops are for those who like being jumped on. At 0030h when we’re all jumping to the sounds of M83, your feet is the last thing anyone is gonna care...
Listen in as Eunice and Kakiong share their drama...

Feminism like you've never seen it before
As a rather staunch feminist, this book caught my eye in Kinokuniya the other day and I felt like I just HAD to say something about it.
Full Frontal Feminism was written by Jessica Valenti to expose young women to the world of feminism in a sort of “new age” manner that won’t turn them off from the ideas of feminism. (The converse “old age” manner being the...
Who is Chairlift?
Credit: http://singapore.lanewayfestival.com.au/artists/chairlift/
So Wu Lyf has been replaced by electro/synth-pop US band Chairlift for Singapore’s lineup of Laneway. What can we expect from Chairlift come 12 Feb? If their better known songs are anything to go by: a throwback to the highly electronic pop sounds of the 80s.
Take the song “Amanaemonesia”, which sees...

F1 2011: Bond In Town!
It’s been eleven years since they took over the music world and now, after a six year hiatus, the gorgeous ladies of Bond are back!
During the F1 week, Bond visited Singapore for a private showcase and to promote their new album, ‘Play’. I had the rare opportunity of having a face-to-face interview with these talented ladies. Greeting a fellow interviewer and I warmly, the...
Are you buzzed yet?
Are you buzzed yet?
You know that horrible feeling when you walk down the street and see someone else wearing the exact same Uniqlo/Topshop/H&M dress that you have on? Well, you’re probably not alone. We shop at these high street stores for their reasonably-priced yet fashionable clothes. But wouldn’t it make you feel better if you knew that you could get unique designer pieces at the same...

Mike Posner + Train Part. II
It was a young a crowd who were probably still experimenting with dance moves on their bedroom floor. Mike Posner taught how a college kid would do it at a concert. How to pump your hands up and dance. Clad in a varsity jacket with “Brain Trust” printed across he got the crowd pumped up to last through the entire night. He deserves a gold medal for that y’all.
Mike Posner is...

Uphoria feat. Train and Mike Posner
While he makes music from his dorm room, I watch all his videos on repeat from my bedroom at my parents place. He is way cooler than me. That’s right, Mike Posner (whom I affectionately refer to “my Posner boy”). As part of the Uphoria Party by Sony, they’ve brought to the shores of Singapore, Train, the men who gave us Drops of Jupiter, as well as Soul Sister, and Mike...

Greyson Chance made me Hold On 'Til the Night
Hand stretched out, lung strength, Screaming to every movement, Thankful to Cheyenne.
All the girls want to stand a chance.

Into the club, girls (and maybe boys) screamed at every movement - to the dude who opened the bottle caps, the soundman, and everything. The long wait was a true reflection of local radio listeners when they danced to Taio Cruz, sang...

Live Lounge (131011)
Conventional wisdom dictates that in any race, one should finish strong and I must say that Live Lounge finished strong and loud as well. Perhaps it was the intimate setting with the local bands or the smell of sweaty bodies standing next to me but I must say that Live Lounge would be missed. This fortnightly event has plagued my NUS life with entertainment and fun. And yes people, I mean...

Hello good folks !

For those budding musicians and wannabe stars, here’s an opportunity of a lifetime - Sony is giving you the chance to showcase your...

It was a nice and cooling evening (man, this sounds like the beginning of a bad narrative) at the Tembusu College at UTown and a bunch of talented people gathered together for a “getting-to-know-you” session (and “The King and I” song subtly plays in my head) organized by THE ONLY CAMPUS RADIO STATION AND THE SOUND OF NUS.
Alternatively known as Radio Pulze. J
Our successful recruitment has yield...
