Hi Everyone,

The *Slow Boris* concert has been changed to *10pm* (instead of 8pm) on 10 March 2007 at the The Arts House, Chamber.

There's something for everyone:

- For those of you who love Malaysia, come and see three Malaysians address 42 years of cross-straits enmity as they attempt to blow the roof off our former Parliamentary Chamber.

- For those of you who hate Malaysia, come and jeer in your red Singapore Lions t-shirts.

- For those of you who love beautiful, heartfelt music, come and see Xuan play. Xuan is Singapore folk guitarist and his melodious tunes are really fab. I've said before that I'd listen to him over Eric Clapton and Kirk Hammett any day.

- For those of you who love pretentious, boring music, come and see Boris Baltschun and Thierry Monnier. Their bios are attached below. I'm sure you'll be turned on.

Please spread the word and follow the advice of the Beach Boys: "Get there fast and then we'll take it slooow. That's where we wanna go."

Best,
Song Ming

*THIERRY MONNIER* is a French musician who plays prepared guitar by using different objects. His main focus is the guitar feedback and he tries to work on the sound itself by modelling it. His musical influence is at the crossing of experimental rock and *musique concrete*. Since 2005, he has worked in a guitar duo with Pierre Faure called Sun Stabbed. He is also active as an organiser of experimental music shows at a venue called Le 102 (www.le102.net) , and as a DJ playing experimental music on a campus radio station. He runs a label with Pali Meursault (universinternational).
