THE MODEL LIPSTIQUES
A long long time ago is a galaxy far far away, a prophecy was passed to induce quirky and deadly bamboozle lullabies into loveless souls. In early 2005 , 3 humble beings stood up for the test. Armed with controversial issues on life, they decided to do something with the constant hypnotic tunes in their head. After finally solving the Spinal Tap jinx ( case of the missing drummer) these kids are ready to terrorise the state. The Model Lipstiques play saucy rock that will make you roll and has released a 4 song ep entitled Avenging Cleopatra Wong.
THE PINHOLES
Together, Haffiz (vocals), Famie (guitar), Modjo (guitar), Is (bass) and Mat (drummer) have steered The Pinholes from a band formed by like-minded neighbourhood friends to a group of music maestros united by a singular passion for music. They bring the fun back to indie rock. Wanted by the fashion police for their 60s influenced style and never lacked of giving great showmanship. Songs are mostly based upon the happenings of everyday life and happy feeling. This five piece retro pop rock act have the ‘PinHeads’ dancing, cheering and laughing while playing their unique original upbeat sound. Big collars, funky sunglasses and fab flared trousers. A quirky outfit, The Pinholes rock!
MY SQUARED CIRCLE
Formed sometime in 1999, My Squared Circle has undergone many changes- both in terms of personnel and music style. These changes can be seen as a form of progression for this band. Through these changes and progression, the band has explored new boundaries and delved into even newer sonic territories. Urged by the drive to remain musically dynamic, they have fought the malady of stagnancy that has plagued many a band. Over the many years that the bad has existed, the music as well as the musicianship has grown and developed into something that is unique, distinctive and thoroughly inimitable. In the words of the band, they play ‘honest music that they dedicate themselves to with the dirtiness of no bullshit rock 'n' roll’. They have received rave reviews from their lives shows in Singapore and Malaysia and played to their biggest crowd ever during Baybeats 2005, during which they established themselves of one of Singapore’s premier rock bands and our dirtiest little secret ever. They also have had some amount of airplay but not much, but then again…why would any serious musician want to be heard on radio? An EP titled ‘misguided science misinformed’ will be out soon in September and will be under local legend Straits Records. There'll be upcoming shows, an overseas tour and several EP launches. You have been warned, informed and educated. Prepare yourself for the explosion that is My Squared Circle.
LUNARIN
Observers have described their style of music as "Heavy Rock", "Art Rock" and "Alternative Metal". The band itself however prefers the more generic tag of "Alternative Rock" for the simple reason that their influences extend beyond specific genres. The trio enjoys the heavy sounds of artistes such as Tool, A Perfect Circle, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden. At the same time, they are also supporters of the lyrics and melodies of singer-songwriters such as Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Jeff Buckley, Elliott Smith and Iron & Wine.
