Anyone remembers Melt Fanzine? The brainchild of George & Robin? haha...
The band Mother used to be shoegaze in the early stages of New School Rock competition by BigO/Levi's. And before Astreal, there was Breed who used to be more of Curve/Medicine sounding type of indie noise. Then there was Noel in a band called Suchness, pretty indie noise as well. And does anyone here remembers James & Charlene of Clothespeg?
We had Don Bosco in the band Daze, which produced a radio hit Sexy Little Boy, complete with the early 90s low-fi analog MTV in chroma colors.
Ok, now i really sound like an aging youth!
Hey asphalt, this might interest you. Just stumbled upon it: http://www.myspace.com/stillrest
I think Pauline of Sideshow Judy is back in town. She had this new electro act Holidays On Saturday for a while and I heard from some friends that the singer from the Sugarflies (can't remember her name) is now based in Boston, doing film and video stuff. No longer playing music.
Also Nunsex was teh secks! their WTC gig was a like a ritual with hooded fellas doing various poses! Got one girl in the crowd kena posessed somemore! Blackest of the blackerest metale!
BTW, am looking for a copy(or mp3) of Nunsex cassette demo, Beatnik if anyone has, i borrowed it and was never seen again, sigh.....
Nunsex..... then there was Rocket Scientists.... and there was that band Drill who used a loudhailer and handheld drill during their gigs at WTC?
I remembered this other band, made up of students from American School, etc... they were called STILL. Had 2 demo tapes out, awesome lyrics. Very much influenced by Bad Religion, Joy Division, Fugazi (ahh... Bukit Batok CC gig).
and still is my favorite local band of all time. i think i might have the complete cassette collection which includes the split with the dongs. haha. oh and the name of the singer from the sugarflies is june koh.
that's awesome news! definitely gonna get myself a copy. the last time i watched them play was at the moods cafe a long, long time ago...but that's when they already changed their name to Starr. now all i need is black sun's "love you now" and i'm all set!
