local music scene needs good fengshui to prosper. as you can see.. gah men built big big liu lian and now the arts scene prospered.
so for band scene, i'm thinkin' in the form of some really big banana that hopefully they won't build it as one huge phallic structure..

Ban bro edder bro!!!
in my humble opinion, i think there are a few reasons y we are not getting far (if u define far as global recognition)
1) uniqueness, most of the bands i see in gigs who do originals hav quite forgettable sounding songs (what i feel), those bands who actually stand out here do possess certain unique qualities, in the sense that once u hear them, w/o looking at them you know their identity, eg. electrico, ronin and a handful of others
2) most of the time, there is a tinge of "cheena" in most of the singers' voices, nth racist but its that true ang-moh voice that sets the standard for english songs to be recognised globally, and u cannot doubt that, thats y those chinese pop bands wadeva trying to put engrish words into their songs really send horrible chills up your spine
3) super cliche sounding band names, i think i dont have to elaborate on that
in terms of government support, i think the gov itself doesnt really give much encouragement, its more of different organisations who are trying to encourage the local music scene
for now all i can say that as a band, one should set its standard to be well recognised locally first, achieving that is a fantastic goal already
not being a pessimist or anything, i would obviously like to see local bands records being swarmed off from shelves internationally, but what i state is what i am observing now

are we only concern about the locale band music that we like getting recognition or singapore music in general getting the recognition?
