The more the merrier – that was the policy the Singapore char siew baos adhered to when they planned a show for this year’s CNY celebrations at the Esplanade Water front.
Apart from just four of them,they invited SOnny’s percussion group Tribal Fusion, Japanese guitar Kuge Kiyosaki, LSK, Elvin Yeo, Boey and Peter Diaz on stage for their performances.
Here are some photos:

spot Hong Ming who was also invited up on stage (planned of course) to perform a song!
Under a special feature by the Esplanade, Syltra & Shermin Lee, both musicians but whom have chosen different paths in their music, performed together on 5 & 6 October.
Themed ‘I Love You Sister!’, the duo performed at the Concourse to light acoustic favourites, engaging the crowd as well as, of course, their parents.
As we turn off the lights and leave everything else on, the world celebrates Earth Hour together every final week of march annually. feZZik was told that the earth hour would coincide with their performances, so they played on, slow and nice unchained melodies for the dim hour. all flood lights broke loose before and after.
happy earthed hour
Songs you love, tunes you’d sing to: presents Syltra Lee’s trio –> Syltra, Alvin Tan & Bani, all the musci maestros from The Music Lab.
So it was 15th Feb and many other concerts were going on, but the definitive indie crowd huddled together at the concert hall of the Esplanade. Thus surrounded by artistry of lights and shadows, gloom and boom of voice.
Presenting Blonde Redhead at its finest.
On 9 and 10 September, Rima & friends and Asila & Gang, brought to the crowd some lively English acoustic numbers, mixed with some Hari Raya favourites. Asila’s secret weapon was the Hindi songs though, they got the bangladeshis dancing.
Mus on guitars
Bani on Bass
Presenting Asila, Ismail & Razaq on that cool drum machine
Lined up was Changing Hues (full band line up) and All of the Above (extended band mates of Shi Li & Adi), on 3 and 4 September.
Sorreh this came very late. But I still do remember what I wanted to say about the band.
if you wanna qualify to be a part of BSS, you will have to:
1. play more than 3 instruments very well and be able to sing
2. drink beer on stage
3. look wearing vintage clothes
4. spot a messy and untidy hairdo
I thought the gig was great, and the band amazed me with their talent. There was a screw up with the last song though.
And so, the events that I will be relating to you will not be in order. Procrastination never felt so real.
Here’s the Esplanade Funky Monkey Weekend. Didn’t get that many pictures though, but I have some of The Project. The other bands that performed were The Raindogs and RSF.
Crazy moshers. Ok no, just pure dancing. I’ve never seen something like that at the outdoor before
Ok next:
