most local awesome gig you ever been to?

[daryl]

yeah sabrina's so great. i pretty much liked rock for good as well

 

[Hydrofly]

Never been to a awesome local gig, actually, it's just my musical taste I get. Maybe once I have sufficient capital, I'll go and organize one, "hi speed steel".

 

[biopromax]

yeah,lets open a thread on the best gig organizer in sg! lol

 

[adly]

yea rfg! haha i think it was one of the first few local gigs that i attended. i remember back then i was still kinda clueless about the local music scene lol. the only bands i knew were like electrico and ronin and one more band can't remember who >< crowd was quite bad at first but it got more exciting towards the end. haha especially since i somehow kept advancing till i was right in front of stage and in front of the huge speaker when it was electrico's set. AWESOME!!! =D

1996 - 97: radio heatwave gigs. best band was this mat rock band, inspirasi. (fms folk in ngee ann, go ask arifin about it. he's a former member. plays like mean speed metal hero)

1999: boredphucks at youthpark

2008: b-quartet launch

 

[roninriot]

Organizing Rock For Good with Sabrina and her team of super organizers was really fun but tiring! Still worth the while though! The end result made all the tediousness worth the while!

Stoned Revivals @ ZoukOut 2000 (the first one... I can't remember which year exactly)

To see a 10-piece band onstage is amazing... I loved it!!!

But they got pwned by the Bushmen who got everyone dancing to their reggae mon...

 

[RudyScarface]

without a doubt, The November Iris at Youth Scape Park.

[hotmetal]

local gig meaning a local show with local bands or a gig held in sg?
hahah either way the best gig ever was when horse the band came.

 

[pedialite]

Is Impiety the biggest "sg" band?

200k views wow @_@ more than electrico.
I know views dont mean anything but wtf, headlining a month long tour across europe.

:edit:
firebrands. 800k views. Open for/Play with Puddle of mudd, Tommy Lee, Jet.

WHAT T3H FRUCK?!?!

Wah seriously, we got talent, just need to market it elsewhere.

 

[visa]

if you've been following what Astroninja's doing, you can be pretty sure that they're going to overtake both those bands probably sometime next year in terms of profile views and song plays

 

[Avatarofblasphemy]

Best Local Gig

I will agree with panz3rr. Xtreme Metal 3 was one of the most amazing gig i went to at gas haus. Was lovelovelovelovelovelovelove brutal. After that was waking the dead

boy, did u just realised what you just said?
its not a damn competition, mind you.
if u really are such an advocate of our music scene, i suggest getting rid of the competition mentality.
humility is the key.
my 2 cents worth.
you know what i mean.

[visa]

Whoa Joseph! Calm down, sir! You play guitar in Marchtwelve don't you? I've been to several of your gigs, support your band and like your music, so I think it's a shame that you'd say this to me, and with such a condescending attitude.

Yes, of course I know what I said. Do you? At no point did I say anything about aggressive competition. You seem to imply that I'm saying "nyeh nyeh, ABC band is better than XYZ band." Well, I'm a big Firebrands supporter- I have been to many of their shows, bought their CD and some of their merchandise. I have alot of respect for Impiety for their achievements, and I go to plenty of local gigs and buy local CDs and merchandise.

I am being completely objective when I said what I did about Astroninja- if you check out their MySpace, you will see that their marketing strategy is starting to pay off big dividends in the international market, and the last time I dropped by their site, they had thousands of song plays that day. It is a clear and observable trend that their profile views are going up at a massive rate.

What was my intended message? That we can all learn alot from this. One of our local bands has chosen to look outside the confines of our local community and sell themselves to an international market- and the success is showing!

Oh, and where does humility come into the picture? Funny, I don't think I mentioned anything about myself, neither has anybody from Astroninja. Am I lacking in humility if I state that Facebook is going to be more popular than MySpace, judging from the rising usership? Your statement, sir, has no credibility.

If you want to talk about competition, sir, then allow me to challenge your limited and narrow-minded perspective. Competition is good, it's healthy, and it encourages us to work harder and more efficiently. Economists have proven this, and our own government stands strongly by this. Even a 'boy' like me can understand that healthy competition makes for a healthy collective growth of the scene.

Cheers,
Visa.

 

[roninriot]

Er........... :S
What's going on?! I'm confused! (sobs)

dearxarson, it sounds like you must have mistaken Visa for one of the members of Astroninja.
visa isn't one of our mates. He's just an individual talking about his own point of view.

Just to clarify, neither me nor anybody in Astroninja is interested in being top in anything. We're just doing our own thing, in our own time, and minding our own business. So we're not interested about being competitive in any way whatsoever. Local scene politics are so yesterday's news

So um, yeah.

(I'm still confused!)

P.S. But visa and dearxarson can have a go at it though! It's fun to read

 

[Hydrofly]

Can someone point me to a local shred band, I feel all alone and left out in the cold here(ok maybe it's my fault I've halted all my band activities for my A levels)!!!
