Lots has happened and more about to happen.
The fiasco surrounding the Avril Lavigne concert last month left an impression, notably. Whether you were a fan of the performer or otherwise, it appears that all future shows we may be treated to seems to be on the line even more so than it was in the past.
I guess it would be a long while yet before ‘we’ would even entertain the idea of having concerts/festivals in celebration or conjunction of our National Day ala SINGfest, let alone allow performers to stage a gig on the day itself like Panic At The Disco did in Jakarta on theirs (17th August).
Fans of Weezer & Paramore… hold on tight for a couple more months.
Also, according to our sources, a band from California and another from New York are supposedly touring these parts soon (the latter we’ve had the opportunity to contact and were told they intend to do so but there are no dates as of yet), if not by the end of this year then in early 2009. Both bands have 3 letter initials, the one from Cali has received airplay on both radio & tv (although less frequently now) but the latter hasn’t had much if any to date but that doesn’t mean you don’t know them. That much we can tell you for now until more information is being revealed to us at a later time.
Notice how we’ve been saying that we’ve been working on this and that but nothing ever really happens? Yeah. We apologize, but we really are slaving away trying to bring those ideas to life, it’s just taking more time than we had anticipated and we have other obligations to fulfill but they WILL make its way on to the site shortly.
Contest coming soon in a couple of weeks and there are other plans in the pipeline as well. Keep checking back for updates!
