Red-hot pop rock band phenomenon BoysLikeGirls will be hitting the beautiful shores of Singapore this January 2010 with a full scale concert!
Come 28 January 2010, US’s hottest pop-rock band will stage their first ever concert in Singapore!
With a swelling fan base, a debut album of sales 700,000 copies to date, is certified gold by the RIAA, top ten Top 40 radio hit “The Great Escape”, more than 3.0 million digital singles – including 1.5 million copies of “The Great Escape,” 900,000 copies of “Hero/Heroine” and 600,000 copies of “Thunder”, BoysLikeGirls is the hottest US pop rock band in modern rock music!
Formed in 2005 by Martin Johnson (vocals/guitar), Paul DiGiovanni, (guitar), Bryan Donahue (bass), and John Keefe (drums), this Boston, Massachusetts-based indie rock act rose rapidly through the ranks of their contemporaries to establish themselves as one of America’s most eagerly supported new bands.
The quartet had all played around Massachusetts with other hopeful bands, including Lancaster and the Drive, but it was only when they joined together as BoysLikeGirls that their fortunes began to improve. By the end of 2005 the buzz around the band had risen to fever pitch, owing mainly to their Internet presence on the PureVolume website. A contract with the Columbia Records subsidiary Red Ink followed at the start of 2006, with the quartet embarking on a short tour with Cute Is What We Aim For shortly afterwards. They also toured with Butch Walker while working on their debut album. Released in August, the self-titled collection was an enthusiastic and melodic collection of emo-tinged indie rock. However, despite all the initial hype the album revealed BoysLikeGirls to be little different from many similarly-styled acts.
Energetic, emotional and real, BoysLikeGirls progresses through their songs. Four fabulous years down the road with two hit albums and countless road tour experience, BoysLikeGirls finally embarks on their concert tour to Singapore!
With two hot albums and plenty of energy-popping singles to rock through the night, this long-awaited concert will definitely be one exciting music event to party in this new year! Don’t miss your chance to experience the best of the band’s hits such the lust-for-life urgency of "Five Minutes to Midnight," energetic anthem "Hero/Heroine", “The Great Escape”, “Love Dunk” to more intense pop ballads of "Learning to Fall", "Broken Man” and “Two Is Better Than One” live!
