After at least half-an hour of queuing to the entrance I finally managed to get into The Meadow Garden, the venue of this year's Laneway festival. The first band I saw up-close at Laneway was the R&B/Electronic band from Minnesota with lady lead vocalist Channy Leaneagh.

Last Sunday, just five days before the so-called Mayan End Time prophecy I had the chance to shoot this band that I've been wanting to see Live for quite a while now.
My photo coverage of Kamikazee began with their arrival at Changi Airport on Saturday. Seeing them for the first time gave me an impression that they're naturally funny and spontaneous. Especially frontman Jay Contreras, who is as funny and witty as what we see and hear on stage or TV. And they're very approachable too. Every photo-ops, plugging, fan sign or special requests, they've handled in a professional but humorous way. As Jay is fond of saying, "Andiyan na eh!", followed by a good light-hearted laugh. They even played part of Freddie Aguilar's "Anak", as requested by one of the bouncers at the venue. And they had no problem answering all sorts of questions that ranges from standard-to silly-to sometimes a bit too personal. These guys are amazingly funny, friendly, and very down-to-earth. It's December and we know it's time for fun and festivities. I covered the first ever Pinoy Fest held in Singapore for Love Entertainment Group. Two of the most popular bands from the Philippines were in town to perform before the year ends. First band to headline the two day event was Urbandub. The rainy Saturday and the wet and muddy Fort Canning Park didn't stop hardcore fans of this awesome band from the Philippines from enjoying this event. And, I'm pretty sure the audience went home very satisfied as Urbandub played their favorite songs, like "Soul Searching"- the song that brought them to mainstream attention. Urbandub members are Gabby Alipe (Vocals/Guitar), John Dinopol (Guitar/Backing Vocals), Lalay Lim (Bass/Backing Vocals) and Janjan Mendoza (Drums).
They also played a new song from their upcoming 6th album, which would probably be out by the first half of next year. And then later on indulged their mud-soaked fans in Singapore with an encore after chants of "one more song". |
