TOBOGGANING: B-Quartet album launch

C H E E R S ...

... especially to the band & Agingyouth for such the excellent show, but also to all fans & SOFTies who were there to share in the experience.

Its been 1 day since the gig & I'm still buzzing, here's why.

"Tomorrow is Our Permanent Address" is an incredible piece of work and offers a glimpse of local independent music being possibly something more; thinking a little more, expressing a little more, feeling a little more. I believe that at this point there is a portion of the scene that is ready for something more engaging.. and B-Quartet just woke us up. I am excited about the future, coz 3-5 years down the road, I believe other songwriters will churn out their own beautiful work that was directly or indirectly inspired by TIOPA.

B-Quartet is a rare combi of a band. Haykal never gave up using music as a vehicle to map out surreal mental odysseys, while the band maintains a heart-stopping climax-intense sound through out. B-Quartet is amazing in not how seasoned they are as musicians, but in how they're breaking new grounds in beautiful intellectual lyric-writing and aural expression. I haven't heard something so different and fresh coming out of Singapore in a long time, and I probably don't need to tell you that I am F#$King excited.

The best part about this is I'm not the only to have said these things.. I've spoken to so many other people who are excited/happy/raving/horny about B-Quartet/TIOPA. We need more of that sort of passionate intensity for the scene to get even better.

once again, thank you agingyouth and b-quartet for a night i won't be able to forget in a long time to come.
 
Special thanks to Luthermusic for sponsoring the PA, subs and monitors and The Observatory (We is lovin' their music and them as people!) as well.

We are vetting through the recorded audio of the show and deciding on which tracks to put online: 'Shoebox' with the small choir, the cover of 'Rainbow Connection' or 'Disp rs ' with the choir and handclaps(!!!)?

We might be a bit late in posting up the tracks cuz it's CNY period and that only means one thing:



















Mahjong.
 
really nice pics! how did you guys manage to make it so sharp and with little noise?

anyway, yeap.. show some videos bro agingyouth!
 
Eh, videos are handled by another team and bro emphibian bro himself. I'm not too sure when they will finish editing the footage.

I wanted to bring some panties to throw after the last song but their parents were there. So respect a bit... Maybe can throw at another show... Hmm...
