Ok, since Sage organized what sounded like a runaway success the first time round - she shall remain as The Organizer for all vocal hangouts. :mrgreen:
I am tentatively ok for Wednesday and it seems a lot of people are good to go for Wednesday, except for The Organizer - Ms Sage Morphine Power Ranger, herself.
So, tentatively we set the meeting time to be 7.45pm at Juliet Restaurant (sounds exclusive but don't worry - it's just one of those Indian 'kopitiams' that serve the normal fare like prata and thosai but no rojak though). It's located very near Actors' Bar itself.
Here's the link with almost all the information you need, including address -
Actors' Bar - Singapore Lifestyle Wiki
Just remember it's at the end of Boat Quay and just beside and above a 7-11.
Well.. if you happen to wonder "What's the agenda?" - we don't exactly have an agenda.
It's more like a (very) informal Soft vocal community bonding where the young, the old, the novice, the professional, the sane, the no-screw-left, the sappy ballad type, the brutal metalhead, can join.
There're no cover charge for this joint and there are the resident band and the client bands provide the accompanying music and will accommodate almost everybody, provided that they know how to play the song lah. It's just like karaoke, except for the music is 'live' and played by living people (although some of them look like zombies, if you ask me). But most of the musicians are laojiaos who make it look damn easy lah. Hee..
Anyway, just take note that the place itself feels mildly claustrophobic but I think it's cosy and comfortable, and the crowd very supportive and appreciative. You'll rarely find pretentious people - just people who want to unwind and have a good time after work, and occasionally, amateur musicians looking for a bit of exposure and their fifteen minutes of fame.
For musicians who are interested in joining, the equipment I think is not bad, the sound system quite ok, and they have (I think) Fender Strats that you can use, although the stage won't allow for back-flips and all, in case you suddenly feel hyperactive.
So, ok. See you (whoever wants to come) this Wednesday.
Ciao.
ps Do PM me if you have decided that you do indeed will turn up, so that we can exchange contact numbers. Thanks!
