Title : Baybeats
Time : 10:16 pm
Earworm: I want you~~ElectricoBaybeats 2005: event at Esplanade waterfront where international indie/alternative bands come together. main motivation for going was to see Singapore band Electrico. headed out after dinner with Mar, Yh and Jol. there was quite a large crowd already, listened to sounds of KLPHQ from Malaysia. only instrumental, no vocals. (maybe for the better after hearing the vocals of Kate of Kale who is distinctively punk) Turns out they're quite a newly formed band, first time performing in Singapore. had some real good beats going on. saw Copeland, duo from US playing acoustic guitars. thought the lead singer sounded like Ben Jelen, but they didnt hold our interest for long. so wandered over to The Arena where fellow countrymen Tempered Mental was playing, fronted by a cool rock chick who could hold a tune and jam on electric guitar at the same time. Took some silly pix to kill time. KL came to join us just before Electrico came on. performed about 4 songs, including the breezy Running Away and rawkin' I want You, ended with We're not from the USA, quite aptly written after they heard a Singaporean bought their album from HMV but returned it after finding out they're a local band. prejudiced. Love the lead singer's gravelly vocals!
