**Singapura Uber Alles – X’ Ho Album Launch**

Culture-rebel, author, singer, author, professional griper. The Minister Mentor himself X’Ho paves the way to his own private underground to make sense of the sham above ground. Enter Singapura Uber Alles.

...Singapura Uber Alles is the follow-up to 2009’s No Ordinary Country, the daring ‘protest-folk’ album of acoustic originals. The new album spreads a much wider canvas of social commentary, encompassing straight-up spoken-word (‘Hail Big Bro’, ‘An Open Letter To Shanmugam’), a capella punk (a cover of Jello Biafra’s ‘Voted Off The Island’), breakcore (‘Fascist Glo Stick’), 21st Century beatnik (‘Fascism, Meh?), inspirational gloom-rock (a cover of Emmylou Harris’ ‘O Evangeline’), musical performance-art (‘Die-Die, Justify’), lounge-speak (‘Tango In Ya-Ya-Land’), industrial poetry (a cover of Non’s ‘The Law’ and ‘A Wet Dream In Biker Boots 2009’), psy-electronica (‘S**** More’), hard rock (‘Fist Paradise’, ‘Singahell’) and more.

This project began way back in 2003 and was perceived as an ongoing work-in-progress with no set deadline. But in early 2010, Ho decided the time was right for it to surface on CD.

*********Quöllfrisch*********

Launched in 1992 as one of the first naturally cloudy beers in Switzerland, "Quöllfrisch" has since spawned many imitators. Light refermentation in the bottle produces an unusual, lively beer with an intense character. It stands out due to its mildness and subtle fruitiness. It is brewed from pure Pilsner malt and three different types of hops from Stammheim and Hallertau. It is aged for 3 months in our mountain cellar, which gives the beer its remarkable balance.

Decknologist for the night :

What The Frisch? - The X'Ho Enigma

^RACHEL^

Fresh from Pop Studio by Pop Trash, Rachel is a little contender. She stalks the urban catwalk, is in the prime of your youth and the ghost in the back of your head. Embracing an eclectic outlook, Rachel started out in the humble surroundings of her room, experimenting and indulging in all forms of art and fantasized of creating and blending swirling melodies altogether.

Her versatility in everything and anything hearable has enabled her to constantly deliver. It may be the pounding dance-orientated music with the feel of indie synth-pop or the insistent pulse of contagious beats. But in her presence, your minds will not be devoid of imagination. Instead, you will be taken to a whole new level. Hell, you might not even evacuate the dance floor. So that my friends, is a step made to take the world by storm and she’s going to do just that.

^OMNIPRESENSE (4 Imaginary Boys)^

Since 2005, Omnipresence has played to many in local dance clubs & at Baybeats 2008 & 2010 under his own moniker as well as with the 4imaginaryboys. Being born during the era of 70’s punk, industrial, new wave and psychedelic rock, he has been an avid vinyl collector of the various genres for more than 2 decades. This time around, he is most pleased to extract from his archives and celebrate the pre-launch of X’Ho’s latest album “Singapore Uber Alles” in a collaborative aural display of celebrated old school gothic rock, batcave, psycho/rockabilly, industrial, punk, new wave and other post rock/punk classics of the past and present.

11pm till 1pm
