Firebrands Studio Jam in Singapore

When we planned this year's tour with Singapore on the itinerary, we were very disappointed that our good friends the Firebrands were going to be on tour in the US at the same time, and that we wouldn't get to see them. Sadly for them, their US Tour was cancelled at the last minute due to visa issues or something equally frustrating. But the up-side was that we got to hang out with them. It was too late to organise any gigs together, but this time we were determined to have a jam with them live - so they invited us to their studio, which has a built-in projector!

Doctor Mix on the decks, eXe on vocals, Jachin on drums, Roman on guitar, Ghost on bass, VJzoo Jasper on camera/Resolume, VJzoo Kat on video desk/Resolume (and shooting photos).













This must be one of the most lush rehearsal studios on the planet. You may have gathered that from the fact that it has a built-in projector attached to an X-box :P

The Firebrands are such professionals, even this most intimate of spaces- the rehearsal room - was set up with every possible mod-con.

We had such a fun time finally getting to jam live with the guys - like a PnP on steroids.

You can listen to some of the Firebrands music at their MySpace, and buy their CD at their website.

To eXe, Jachin, Doctor Mix, Ghost and Roman - Thanks so much for your kind hospitality, guys. Firebrands roooooooock! Hope to get to play with you again soon - be it in Perth, Singapore, Dubai, the US... wherever :D

Perhaps Singapore might catch on to the Plug n Play AV franchise with music/visuals jams like this on a regular basis? We'd come up for that a couple of time a year once the cheap Tiger Airways flights start. Woo hoo!
