Ok,awesome point. So why can't we make poly music more underground? LOL
Like for jam and hop events or specific events. Selling out is one thing, but getting pissed off that you can't rock out to something heavy is another.

haha bro. im in tp as well.
music vox bands play mostly mainstream stuff. think onerepublic, lifehouse etc etc. trust me, if u wanna play heavier stuff, theres other better opportunities out there.
Awesome Point. But i'm cheap. I want free jamming!!
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Then again I could get sponsored and stuff...
Ouh well
But yeah, mainstreamish stuff on music voxx
Why weren't we informed of this on arrival
LOL

=_= heavy metal in like....poly? LOL. people throw banana at you for making so much noise since most people out there dun like metal and think its "noise". LOL! darn music voxx. i want to play metal. i'm gonna be in tp SOON!
hahaha. tp jam n hop is lame lah. id rather go to nyp or np. at least they brought bands like ps, ava, caracal, west grand etc. TP always, and i mean always showcased music vox bands and sleeq. 2 years straight already.
when they do bring in bands that i love like ps and gse, it was for tprawks and tp students arent allowed to watch. -.-

HAHAHA. WHO DOESNT? thats why everyone wanted to join music vox. me included. i played indie stuff like strokes and muse. didnt get in. lousy i guess. LOL.
but i think its pretty reasonable that they play strictly mainstream stuff. TP culture is a lil different. you may be able to shred and play like a guitar god, but no one will pay attention to it.
try playing secondhand serenade. im sure you will have a crowd watching you. hahaha.

WTH?! muse oso cannot. TP IS UNFAIR. =_=''' we play mainstream lah. play fob songs. or whatever. LOL. so lame sia. i think i hate tp before i even go in now. LOL
WAIT WAIT. I MENTIONED MY BAND WAS LOUSY THATS WHY DIDNT GET. HAHAHA. i dont want no miscommunication.
im sure if you guys are confident you can do an awesome muse cover, it will blow the judges away. just try your luck.
tp, the instituition is great. but really, i have always find tp music scene a little sad. i only know one guy from my course whos into the local scene. the rest are pretty hiphop. others, i dunno lah. rain? jay chou? HAHA.
compare that to NYP jam n hop this yr, who have people moshing and stagediving during plainsunset, it was amazing. security who are students cant even do anything to stop it.

Hey I'm in TP too. I personally find music vox pathetic, most of the band down there are just erm..show-offs "hey check it out dude, I'm in the band"? That kind of attitude. well, not that I did not get in, I was sick on the day of audition during yr 1..lol
I prefer the outside scene, it's more diverse I must say

i believe this is so because to the majority of the polytechnic students, metal/hardcore/anything heavy is noise to them, and they can't appreciate the beauty of it
I think most polytechnics, or any institutions per se have such silly unwritten policies about how heavy is heavy music during their gigs. I've had my share of having to go through panels of judges NOT to judge on our playing but to judge on how heavy our music is.
At the same time, I've covered Trivium and Muse and attended gigs playing Canon Rock and Master of Puppets in poly.
I realized what made the difference between a needlessly strict organizer and a good one are usually these criteria:
-Any Guest of Honor from the staff? (principal, director, etc)
-Any external party? (charity concert benefactor, parents, etc)
-Overly anti-rock CCA Officers
Maybe you might wanna chat up with the organizer and find out more about the gig then choose your songs.
Of course, when you play it for the panel of judges, go easy on the distortion and screaming and falsetto. Think, "Make this Mandopop". Youtube a Jay Chou music video or something. No offence to Mandopop and Jay Chou fans, but the panel of judges are USUALLY mandopop fans who have no idea who Steve Vai or Matt Bellamy is. Give something they like, plus points on your band. Once you're in, keep the act up.
Now, for the big day, who will stop you if you go all Spinal Tap and push all the knobs to 11 and cascaded 50 distortion pedals? As long as you don't blow up the amps, you're safe. Just that maybe, just maybe, they blacklist you from school gigs, but it's unlikely.
