Get ready for some sugaré brown, white, yellow, maroon, gold, blue, black and green, whatever color of the rainbow you should choose, these guys are prepared to dish it out.

Band Info:

T.H.E. (Thusly Henceforth Ergo)
Hailing from different walks of life, a group of people have come together to form T.H.E. Infusing their different influences into the band, T.H.E is a melding of a range of sounds, expressions and personalities. It also contains a broad range of sense of humour, some in unsalvageable levels. If you're into indie pop, alternative and the sorts, they're the ONE for you. Thusly, you should catch them in action as they hype up the stage with their music. Henceforth, it will be a great experience. And ergo, you will buy them drinks after they finish with their sets.

The Oslo Castaways
The silence engulfs.

We are The Oslo Castaways. (Formerly Known as The Subway Stars)

Hailing neither from Norway or the sea, the reference to Oslo wishes to encompass the beauty of Oslo. Of the long days and of the Northern lights. Of the waters and fjords. Of the tranquil and peace. And of being cast away from this place. A sense of longing and grief. Regret, despair, negativity.

This four piece indie rock act wishes to instill in their listeners an understanding of what they want to portray. More often than not, people try to put themselves in other people's shoes, trying to feel what they feel, without even understanding the root of the problem. An understanding is what they seek, at the very least.

Sitting. Standing. Waiting. You know what it's like to wait forever.

Sleeve
Formed in July 2005, Sleeve is a quintet producing original music that, according to listeners, is deeply melancholic and emotional. Our members have varying influences ranging from the music of Radiohead, to old school Malay rock. On the whole, the different playing styles of each member complement each other to personify a sound that is essentially unique to Sleeve's identity. Sleeve draws inspiration from true life experiences and emotions, making it easy for listeners to relate. We are currently working on our new single "Bound" and hope to release it on CD soon after.

Beneath the scintillating light

We apologise for not updating anything eversince our very first post. It has been a very busy period for us. Eversince our comeback gig at Tapestry 06, we have had a number of performance opportunities. Firstly, we'd like to thank Jon from Singapore Art Cafe who gave us a splendid experience to perform and be interviewed on air for 93.8FM's "The Living Room" show. We'd also like to thank the deejay, Mahesha, for agreeing to include us in her show at such short notice. Not forgetting, Alvin the beatboxer who was also on the show with us.



We also had a show at Home Club for the last part of TAGS 2. We'd like to thank Terence, especially, and mrmisse for inviting us and providing us with the honour of sharing the stage with talented bands such as Documentary in Amber, The Love Experiment, Super Illegals, Ugly in the Morning and Al Grand Terrorismo. Thank you DIA, especially, for your kind comments and Dakai for your loud "yeah!"s after each song. The show was a good one for us and we enjoyed playing with you guys immensely.




Our most recent show was at the Singapore Art Cafe. It was the first time we did an acoustic set. It was a great experience, largely attributed to the cosiness and ambience of the cafe, as well as a wonderful audience. We'd like to thank DT, Dakai and Iliyas from DIA for coming to support us (Dakai especially, with your loud "yeah!"s). Also, many thanks to Jai and Hanes for bringing the NUS Original Music Society gang over. Thanks bros for the great pictures and for recording the performance for us on MD. Herman, it was nice opening the show for you. I regret not being able to listen to your performance fully because we had to settle some logistics issues. Hope to catch you again sometime. Johan from Backspace, it was nice to finally meet you. Can't wait to share the stage with you guys in Nov.







Till our next show in Nov (most probably another acoustic set), we'll be heading back to the studios to finish up our single "Bound". Hopefully we can release something by year's end. Stay tuned and thanks very much for all your comments and support!

Tapestry 2006

The performance provided us with the chance to come out from our unplanned hiatus. The date (22nd July) was truely memorable to us. It was just a day before the 1 year anniversary of our first performance as "Sleeve" (23rd July 2005). In some ways, Tapestry marked a new beginning for the band. Not to look at it as a restart though.. but a continuation from where we left since Paul passed away. The show wasn't perfect but we all came out of it feeling good, truely energised and feeling proud. Nothing else could have made us enjoy playing our set, than the presence of our friends and family.

We really appreciate the efforts of all who came down to support our comback. Thank you for your kind comments which gives us the motivation to carry on making music and performing. Thank you Uncle Peter and Aunt Betty for believing in us. Your presence inspired us to perform our very best, specially for you and Paul.
