yowza.
the band has just reached hong kong...and as a matter of fact, i am now at the airport typing this. gonna take a cab in a while to the place where we will be calling home for the next four days before flying back to singapore.
the 16 hour flight from los angeles to hong kong is no joke and you can imagine how tired we all are. so i guess the plan for today is to chill and get our rest before tomorrow's show. FYI, we will be playing at the this place called the phonograph, which is over at tsim sha tsui around nine i think. so drop by if you happen to be around area.
the next update will probably be when we are back in singapore. so till then!
sparkle.

tomorrow's parties
hello world.
okay. i know i mentioned in the previous post that the next update will have pictures of our south by southwest (mis)adventures but i didn't get any on my camera. i mean, i got plenty of pictures of us around town and hanging around but nothing of us on stage. well there is one, and that picture can be found on our myspace blog here!
and here is a video of us and Dr Jay fooling around. haha!
"I Am David Sparkle are kind of what SXSW is all about, or what I realized it should be about: seeing bands you've never heard of and then, subsequently if you're lucky, really enjoying them. I Am David Sparkle are four dudes from Singapore playing Mogwai/Explosions in the Sky/Do Make Say Think influenced post-rock...and they're really good. I don't even listen to post-rock that much (I have the attention span of a gnat when it comes to music sometimes) but this stuff is really good. "

anyway, we're still in boston and have been on R&R mode for the past two days. it's such a beautiful city. i can definitely imagine living here...but it can get really cold at times.
we'll be playing at o'briens tomorrow with ketman, thunderhole and you need new glasses. and there might be another possible show on friday...not too sure about that one though. and on saturday, we'll be playing a basement show! i'm the most excited for that one just because we will actually be playing in someone else's house. haha. it's gonna be crazy.
and after all that, we will swing by hong kong to do one show and it's home sweet home.
alrightie then, gonna head off to bed now. take care of yourselves!!

don't mess with texas
we are having an awesome time in austin. met a lot of really nice people and caught a lot of amazing bands. the flatstock show was brilliant. saw tara mcpherson in person, together with the burlesque crew. bought ourselves some posters and tee shirts and mexican food. caught the easy star all stars, this will destroy you, +/-, grizzly bear, these arm are snakes, primal scream, datarock, pristess, maserati, my disco and other random acts....and to think that this is only the second day. we feel really blessed to be here.
us with half of this will destroy you. they were awesomely loud. i thought i was gonna go deaf. honestly.
we were giggling like school girls when we found out that the official sxsw tee shirt had our name on it.we just got back about an hour ago and are now getting ready for bed since it will be our turn to go on stage tomorrow. we personally can't wait to rock out. hope everyone is doing well!
much love from austin,
sprkl

flight of fancy
hey everyone.
it's been a brilliant 4 days in manila and we are sad to leave such an amazing place, filled with the nicest people. but as they say, good things must come to an end. we would like to thank the organizers, the bands and all the people that we have met that has made our stay an eventful one.
we are presently at the airport waiting to get on the plane...our flight got delayed for an hour so, yeah. but we'll be home soon enough.
talk to you guys later,
sparkles.

"i'm sorry sir, i'm not pretty sure"
greetings from the phillipines!
we got in yesterday morning and have already tire ourselves out with a lot of eating, walking and catching some pretty brilliant bands at route 196. we'll be playing at saguijo later tonight and at magnet high street tomorrow, so we are pretty pysched about that. in the meantime, coffee and a game of ping pong are in the cards. we have taken a lot of pictures but will probably be able to upload them only when we get back on monday.
hope everyone is doing well.
much love,
the sparkle boys.
