I play with another singer as an acoustic blues duo called Malted Milk, and we do a monthly gig at The Old Brown Shoe, an English-style pub in the row of shophouses next to Coronation Plaza. We've been doing this gig for a few months already, but this is the first time I'm trying my luck to publicise it here. For March, we're playing on the 24th.
Some of you may know us as A Mess of Blues from the Acoustic:Stripped competition held at Wala and Balaclava. It's just a name change though, everything else is still the same. We play 2 sets starting from 9pm or so, and the chef sets up a BBQ grill just outside.
This month there'll be more acoustic blues at 2 venues:
22nd Apr - Esplanade Waterfront: Malted Milk will be doing 2 sets starting from 1930. Bring your own booze!
28th Apr - Old Brown Shoe: Our singer Anjana is not available for this gig, so I'll be doing it with Louis on double bass and share vocal duties with him. Acoustic guitar and double bass, it's a blues combo not frequently heard in Singapore as opposed to your usual Strat-shootout over a huge drum kit and 1000W bass amp. Give your ears a rest and your liver a workout!
Old brown shoe is an English-style pub located in a residential area, so it's pretty much a friendly neighbourhood kind of hangout. I don't see any problems with under-21s. Yeap, we're the guys from Wala Wala
fgl, I'm not playing with Melt but Greg and Maurice are the ones who put us through to the owner. I haven't heard from them in a long while either, I don't recall seeing them play at Old Brown Shoe recently.
Alright IrishGerry hope to see you there! It IS an English-style pub so there will still be bloody EPL on the telly (unless there's rugby), but we'll be providing the OST for it. :lol:
I'd forgotten about this thread, time to bring it back from the dead. We've taken a year-long break while I went overseas for studies and we're back at The Old Brown Shoe (619F Bukit Timah Rd) this Sat 24th Jan. Great English-style food, good range of decent beers, right next to Coronation Plaza.
Malted Milk is Anjana on vocals, myself on guitar. Our setlist includes Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Lightning Hopkins, bit of Johnny Cash and some surprises. Come and say hi!
