Where do I even begin? Music Matters Live is SO FUN!! So many new bands to discover and re-discover and not to mention how I get to hang out with all my friends in the music industry. This year, I only managed to check out homeboys Trick and Mark Bonafide. Beyond our shores, I enjoyed Afgan, Buffalo Sunn, Bunkface and JPNSGRLS. Such amazing music! Music Matters … Continue reading Music Matters Live 2014 Post Mortem
All That Matters is one of the events that I make sure I always clear my calendar for every year. It is always fun and interesting to go mix and mingle with everyone who attends All That Matters every year. This year, there are lots of familiar faces (but I cannot remember a lot of your names, sorry) and even more new faces! I remember … Continue reading All That Matters 2014 Post Mortem
While eclectic-infused rock isn’t a flavour of rock I particularly dig, I’ll make an exception for JPNSGRLS (pronounced “japanese girls”). It is very difficult not to be won over by the JPNSGRLS guys. Check them out: All 4 of them are really lovely and a whole lot of fun! Especially when Charlie dances(?) on stage. After their final set at Kuro for Music Matters Live … Continue reading JPNSGRLS at Music Matters Live 2014 Post Mortem
Okay, confession. I only caught Jaurim only because I was walking between other venues. I have absolutely no idea who Jaurim was but I definitely noticed the huge crowd and their excitement to see Jaurim. If so many people were excited, they had to be good right? Jaurim is a rock band from South Korea and while I am not familiar with any of the … Continue reading Jaurim at Music Matters Live 2014 Post Mortem
It was a real shame that I only managed to catch Bunkface once at Beer Market during Music Matters Live 2014. Bunkface is AWESOME! I love the energy that Bunkface has on stage. Their energy is infectious and watching them, you can understand why Bunkface is one of the top bands in Malaysia and has a large and growing fanbase in Indonesia. Check out this video … Continue reading Bunkface at Music Matters Live 2014 Post Mortem
Must admit that it’s the crazy costume that Sultan of the Disco were wearing that caught my eye rather than my ears at the Kpop Night of Music Matters Live 2014. I like crazy. (Good crazy of coz.) Crazy people are fun! I have absolutely no idea what they are singing but I do like what I heard. And that is exactly what is the … Continue reading Sultan of the Disco at Music Matters Live 2014 Post Mortem
First up, big thanks to the nice people at Sony Music Singapore for the ticket to watch 2CELLOS. ^^ I really enjoyed the show and 2CELLOS are so bloody brilliant! 2CELLOS are Luka Šulić (Slovenia) and Stjepan Hauser (Croatia) and they play cellos. Duh. It is really interesting to note the number of classically trained musicians doing pop crossover from that part of the world; especially Croatia. There is … Continue reading 2CELLOS Live at the Star Theatre 2014 Post Mortem
I think this is the first time I’ve been a Japanese artist/Japan-related press conference. In-line with the Japanese culture, the press conference promptly started on time. Like wow! They were not late! Quite refreshing to be honest. Throughout the entire 10~15 minutes of the press conference, Naoto Inti Raymi really won me over with his enthusiasm, energy and attempt to answer entirely in bad but really … Continue reading Naoto Inti Raymi, Cream and The Oral Cigarettes at the Music Matters Live 2014 Japan Night Press Conference
First up, I just realised that this is the first time I’ve ever watched Mark Bonafide perform live. I feel like I need to apologise to Mark Bonafide for not checking out his live performance earlier despite knowing about him for years. I like to check out and support local artists but I’m not sure what happened in the last couple of years where I kinda stopped… … Continue reading Mark Bonafide at Music Matters Live 2014 Post Mortem
