baybeats 2006

Far too long, all we know are angsty Singapore bands who play such shitty music that only the rare handful appreciates. No wonder some say local music sucks. There are gems in the Singapore indie music scene. baybeats is one good way to let these gems shine.

Staging indie music festivals in Singapore is still in its infancy. The crowds and acts have yet to reach the stature of Big Day Out and Glastonbury. When we get there, I'd be happy to pay for a ticket to baybeats. For now, baybeats showcase loads of free events. Yay.

I'm not such a hardcore fan as to sweat it out in the raging humidity all three evenings of baybeats 2006. I missed some good up-and-coming bands. But I dutifully turned up on Sunday for electricolunarin and The Posies. Yes, they rocked out and the crowd loved it!! Hung out with the friends later and got The Posies to autograph their collection of CDs!! Woots!
