About Bless
Bless is an artform practitioner who has spent the past 8yrs showcasing his craft all around Singapore simply for the love of sharing experiences of love and life, in all its aspects. A man of few words offstage, he's exactly the opposite side when he's on it, and he does what he does wholeheartedly simply because he loves doing it.
About Monochrome The word "monochrome" tends to invoke thoughts of simplicity. However, the bilingual alternative-rock band Monochrome is anything but simple. It believes that music transcends language, gender or religion, and the band's music finds a delicate balance between 2 very different cultures and traditions - the East and the West. With songs that are emotive and steeped in rock anthems and power-driven arrangements, the band wants to make every song count, regardless of today's ever-changing musical trends. http://www.monochrome.sg .
About Blind Meets Mute Blind Meets Mute is a 5 piece band consisting of Idham, Aliff, Didi, 'ain and Fai. Formed two years ago, they started out playing simple punk rock tunes and then gradually moved towards emo/alternative rock. They've played for about 19 shows including Tapestry 2007, scape, DXO and home club, and their only hope is for the people out there to love their music as much as they do and most importantly, to stay happy!
About Quasimodo We like jangly guitars, sad singer-songwriters, tambourines, doe-eyed pretty girls, jazz standards, 60's girl groups, dancing till dawn, love songs, Jens Lekman, Botanic Gardens on sunday mornings, Fort Canning Park on weekday evenings, Edith Piaf, Britpop, Audrey Tautou, hyperactive toddlers, hobos with harmonicas, group hugs, behaving like girls at gigs, cult comic books, Noam Chomsky, staying up late the night before recording sessions and falling asleep during recording sessions. -
