RSF in Bangkok!

RSF was selected to be flown into Bangkok to perform for a Starwood event. Being the owner of the chain of hotels that include St Regis, Meridien and Sheraton, we naturally were hosted very well.

The Event Co (TEC) undertook this herculean project of managing not just us but all the conferences and programmes for the 3-day event. RSF was only playing for one night though, but that was the plenary finale, and a perfect fitting for a close.

We were staying at Plaza Athenee Meridien hotel, and we did soundcheck there in the morning, after Laz & Jason arrived for breakfast.

We then headed to Royal Orchid Sheraton for our second soundcheck.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After soundcheck we headed to lunch at the hotel’s restaurant. We were totally spoilt.

 

Jason caught at the dessert corner.

 

Ken & Bianca couldnt resist a shot against the Chao Phraya river

Laz like you’ve never seen him before.

Great job RSF! Special thanks to the teams at TEC and Starwood. It was a blast!


Lessons Every Band Should Take from RSF

RSF was engaged to perform at HP’s corporate dinner, through Design and Marketing. It was the last night of the Sales Kickoff Conference in Singapore and it was held at Marina Bay Sands. It dawned on me why RSF is such a successful band. Here are some pointers to share:

1. If you dont enjoy yourselves on stage, no one will enjoy watching you perform

There’s always a lot of eye contact between Laz & Bianca, and they work together when they sing, the band moves around the stage acknowledging each others’ presence as well. little things, but I notice!

2. Presentation is important. You take the stage, you are the star

Ken made a costume change between sets. how awesome

3. Musicians are hardly have showmanship. RSF certainly does though

4. Don’t stop the music if people are getting into it

5. Interact with your audience, make them feel a part of the party

6. Be easy to work with!

The highlight of the evening was when I bumped into Eugene Lam, who is a staff of HP. Of course, we couldnt resist asking him on stage to jam.

Watch how Ken jumps off stage in this video to dance with the audience:
