The Police In Singapore


We were so thrilled when Fiction Plane opened the set at 8pm sharp with 'Death Machine'. We were grinning at the anagram of Fiction Plane that read 'Infant Police'. How apt.

Joe Sumner rounded up the set with 'Two Sisters' to half polite applause and half wild cheers. That was the younger half in the audience who knew who he was with his individual talent. This half of the crowd loved Fiction Plane for what it meant in the alternative scene. That half also sprinted out after that set to grab their cd, band t-shirt and autographs.

Then, at 9pm, The Police commanded the stage with 'Message in A Bottle'. The crowd roared their appreciation and rose to their feet for the next 2 hours. It was unbelievable. The atmosphere was electrifying. Everyone stood up. Everyone was grooving to the music.

We were damn happy that we stayed in Singapore for the gig rather than hop over to Macau. The whole stadium rocked out. All 10,000 of us. It was an awesome gig.
