Music Documentary on rock music scene in Singapore: Radio Station Forgot to Play My Favourite Song

Hey music lover or readers out there,

its been a while. Have been pretty busy and excited.

Nowadays I am getting more music invites and emails

from musicians, companies and other cool musicians

even from USA!

So some little updates here:

1. Writing a music review on Slash Guitar Contest for Ruder Finn Asia

after that contest in Hard Rock Cafe.

2. Went to watch Angie Mattson (USA songwriter)

play at the bar/restaurant TAB.She's a

real friendly cool chick to talk music and chill out.

Those who have not been there, u should really check out TAB!

Its such a cool place. Somemore

it's a venue for supporting live original music.

3. Had a crazy cool time enjoying Jeremy Monteiro

Jazz Trio and Singapore Chinese Orchestra concert

playing original songs.

One People One Nation One Singapore

(national song composed by Jeremy Monteiro) was being jazzed up

by them. Made some new connections with marketing/publicity staff of

Singapore Chinese Orchestra. Guess I will have to help

them publicize a bit more on their interesting concerts here :)

Talking about music scene in Singapore,

I chanced upon this music video documentary

on the contemporary rock music scene.

I decided that its a good thing to share

the real situation about the music scene

in Singapore instead of relying on mainstream

media only.

The mainstream media don't necessarily

reflect the truth and sometimes

serves as propaganda to the government.

For those who are in mass communications

industry or currently studying mass communications,

u would know what I meant. :)

I shall not say no more.

Enjoy the video and see the music industry players

and people!

Of course subscribe to my music blog

if u like my stuff. :)
