NOISE SINGAPORE GIG │ Plug & Play @ Cathay Cineleisure Orchard
There’s no better way to spend your Saturday afternoons than with the Noise Plug & Play events at Cathay Cineleisure Orchard! Get your rock on with two hours of high-energy live music performances by four up-and-coming local music acts. The first of two electrifying performances, the line-up includes this year’s Noise Apprentices EN-X, as well as Noise Artists S.P.O.N.G.E, Richard J, and Quasimodo.
When: 8 Nov 2008, 6 – 8pm
Where: Cathay Cineleisure Orchard
About EN-X
EN-X (pronounced en – ex) which is short for Entity X, is an entity embodied by members from different walks of life, coming together to bring about something even greater than its individual parts; The X symbolizing the reconciliation of the heart and mind, the outer self and inner self, and faith and the soul (as seen by the two lines intersecting at a point).
About Quasimodo
We like jangly guitars, sad singer-songwriters, tambourines, doe-eyed pretty girls, jazz standards, 60's girl groups, dancing till dawn, love songs, Jens Lekman, Botanic Gardens on sunday mornings, Fort Canning Park on weekday evenings, Edith Piaf, Britpop, Audrey Tautou, hyperactive toddlers, hobos with harmonicas, group hugs, behaving like girls at gigs, cult comic books, Noam Chomsky, staying up late the night before recording sessions and falling asleep during recording sessions.
About Richard J
Richard J, born Richard Mark Jansen on August 21, 1989 is Singapore youngest talent extraordinaire to perform in Top Dawg Party twice. Richard J started composing music at the age of 12 and inspired by artistes such as Lil Wayne, Bow Wow, he then moved on to create a style of his own. He began performing at the age of 15, joining street competitions/ Battles, and in 2005, he joined his first Rap Battle as a soloist and came out victorious. With a brand new LP in the works scheduled to release in 2008, this young extraordinaire has so much more to give
About S.P.O.N.G.E
No strangers to the local scene, S.P.O.N.G.E. has performed at Suntec City, the Esplanade, HMV, and in 2007, they were one of the few bands chosen to be part of Noise Singapore’s The Apprenticeship Programme (TAP) under the tutelage of Nick Chan of Astreal and MUON fame. S.P.O.N.G.E. was set up in 2006, and after settling into the band’s current lineup, they have grown into their unique sound by utilizing elements from a vast range of influences. The band defies traditional genres of music with atmospheric lead melodies, a driving rhythm backbone and powerful vocals. S.P.O.N.G.E.

Many good things come in pairs, and the Noise Plug & Play events at Cathay Cineleisure Orchard are no exception. The second of two Noise performances, two hours of explosive live music performances! The line-up will feature illustrious Noise artists such as Blind Meets Mute, Monochrome, Bless, and Quasimodo.
When: 15 Nov 2008, 6 – 8pm
Where: Cathay Cineleisure Orchard
About Bless
Bless is an artform practitioner who has spent the past 8yrs showcasing his craft all around Singapore simply for the love of sharing experiences of love and life, in all its aspects. A man of few words offstage, he’s exactly the opposite side when he’s on it, and he does what he does wholeheartedly simply because he loves doing it.
About Monochrome
The word “monochrome” tends to invoke thoughts of simplicity. However, the bilingual alternative-rock band Monochrome is anything but simple. It believes that music transcends language, gender or religion, and the band’s music finds a delicate balance between 2 very different cultures and traditions – the East and the West. With songs that are emotive and steeped in rock anthems and power-driven arrangements, the band wants to make every song count, regardless of today’s ever-changing musical trends. http://www.monochrome.sg
About Blind Meets Mute
Blind Meets Mute is a 5 piece band consisting of Idham, Aliff, Didi, 'ain and Fai. Formed two years ago, they started out playing simple punk rock tunes and then gradually moved towards emo/alternative rock. They’ve played for about 19 shows including Tapestry 2007, scape, DXO and home club, and their only hope is for the people out there to love their music as much as they do and most importantly, to stay happy!
