My Band “No Eye Candy” Live Performance at Heeren Singapore 2018 (Subtitled at YouTube)

This recording by my brother-in-law Benny Pang and my sister Lora Wong is possibly the best public performance we had with my band No Eye Candy. It was a charity event Music for Hope. Jason Tan was my lead guitarist. Wieke Hartono was our drummer and had decided the pick up the guitar instead. The bassist was Cynthia Arianto, also the vocalist. And I wrote the songs, played the rhythm guitar, and was the main vocalist. Selrol Ng, the now-wife of Jason, was our band manager, and thanks to Selrol, she got us the gig. Wieke had personally arranged our music and she was so creative. Behind the scene, we had a lot of practice sessions including traveling all the way to KL Malaysia to play for our friend Jason Seet seeking his opinion. All songs are original, written by me. We had a great time.

Ah … good old days.

Video of Hella Good, 1st Session

OK.  This video is dedicated to our friends who have been so supportive for my home made Voodoo Mix of No Doubt’s “Hella Good” and eager to watch what it is like with drums and guitars.  To set the expectation right, this recording is our band’s first session playing this cover song (and very rarely we do so as we prefer to play our original songs).  If it was that good, I would be making a living at the club “Insomnia” instead of being a 9-to-5 arguable one of the fastest value-adding electronic postmen of the world.

We didn’t get a decent studio room this time so pardon the sound quality.  I did the best I can from the sound engineering point of view.  Hardly could I hear what I played or sang that day.

On a more positive note, Wieke did merge the essence of the “Hella Good” drum beats with that famous One Republic track and implemented into our original song “Kids From The Park”.  It was pretty funky.  Hope to share with y’all some time in the future.

PS: A big thanks to Selrol who took our video.

1st Random Video Filmed During Band Practice

This is for you, my loyal readers, my undying fans.  Erm.  I hope nothing will change after this broadcast.

The fact is, for the past number of days, my mind has been spinning as though I was mind-plucking the invisible flower petals murmuring “I show you”, “I show you not”.  And.

I did show this video to some friends of mine.  To see what the reaction is like.  Thank you for your brutal honestly and your encouragement.  My favorite constructive feedback is to pump some irons.  That, I can gladly do.  And it is very doable too!  Results not guaranteed.

OK.  The choice is yours.  Wanna have a peep?
