vietnow

greetings from vietnam!

the band just got in last night and we're staying at this really nice hotel. traffic here is crazy and the people keep looking at us weird. and we don't know why that is. the last thing we would want to do is to stick out like a sore thumb. haha. so we will probably do the usual walking around later. dinner with the rest of the bands will be later tonight.

but all i want to do now is to get some more sleep.

good morning and good night.

love,

we are here

goodness me.

forgive us for neglecting this blog. because yes, we are back in singapore and have been back for about two weeks now, i think. and we all made it back in one piece.

and since we got back, we have been doing our own thing, catching up with our respective family and friends, enjoying home cooked food and just living. we just got done with an interview with Today to answer questions in regards to the whole SXSW adventure. will let you know when it will be out so you can grab a copy.

but anyway, here are a couple of updates. we will be playing this saturday at F.A.D studios in support of our good friends, A.U.M. they are trying to raise funds for their own US tour so it would be awesome if you guys can make it! check out our myspace for more details!

and the video of nosferatu makes me nervous is finally out!



i love how it turned out. the guys from WiMe did such a brilliant job.

alright, that's about it for now. hope you guys are all living well. see you on saturday!

love,

five oh

well what do you know?

so we got in to play our set at the phonograph earlier, right after magnolian, who i must add was just awesome. they were loud and epic, just like how i like my music. but anyway, there we were going into our the first song..the intro song...or "zouktro" as we would like to call it, when all of a sudden, the cops showed up! it was unbelievable! we were expecting the bass amp to blow, since we have already fried pedals, a guitar amp and a snare drum...or something to that extent. so to see the cops telling us to stop because we were deemed as loud by the neighbours was just quite amazing. and we weren't freaking out about it, neither were we angry. we just looked at each other and started smiling and i just said out loud "what a fitting end to an amazing tour!". and the crowd started clapping and the cops were just there trying to figure out who we were and what time were we supposed to end. or something like that. i mean, i didn't really know what went down. so about ten to fifteen minutes went by, and we were just waiting it out to see what the management was going to say. they gave us the green light to carry on but only if we played a softer set. so we did. and then for the last song, we decided to play at our normal volumes and rock out, since this is after all our last stop before heading back to singapore, when the management stopped us again. and so we stopped. and again, we weren't freaking out about it, neither were we angry....we just said thank you to the crowd for staying and that we will be back the next time to complete the damage.

so that's that. it was a brilliant night and none of this would be possible without our lovely friends from hong kong, nic and ephraim from love song, the people from phonograph, who did their very best to let us carry on and everyone who took the time to drop by to show their love. we didn't manage to give you our hundred and ten percent but you can be sure that we will be back the next time we have the chance. thank you!

one more day in hong kong! then it's back to singapore!

love,
