Orchard Road – Singapore&#39;s most famous road! – is more than just a shopping belt. Back in the 1960s, it was the home of tea dance venues like the famous Golden Venus. In the 1980s, shopping malls like Far East Plaza and Centrepoint were hubs for scores of teens. And for four years running, Orchard Road was the site of Singapore&#39;s biggest street party, Swing Singapore!Those are the stories we know. But there&#39;s more to this stretch of Singapore than meets the eye.In this special episode – in conjunction with <a href="https://www.sgheritagefest.gov.sg/" rel="nofollow">Singapore HeritageFest 2024</a> – we join guests <a href="https://www.instagram.com/shaifulrisanwork/" rel="nofollow">Shaiful Risan</a>, <a href="https://www.lilinwee.com/" rel="nofollow">Li Lin Wee</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lkkhiun" rel="nofollow">KK Liew</a> to learn more stories and recollections of Orchard Road, from breakdance battles in car parks to David Bowie&#39;s escalator escapade!Special thanks to the Singapore HeritageFest 2024 and KK Liew for arranging this!

Ep102: Orchard Road Special ft. Li Lin Wee, Shaiful Risan & KK Liew

When The Observatory&#39;s debut album, Time Of Rebirth, was released in 2004, it was an eye-opening (ear-opening?) experience for listeners. Filled with rhythms and grooves, along with a smattering of the experimentation that the band would go on to do, it was lauded by critics. It was even picked as an album of the year by the media - well, one media outlet. But now, 20 years later, does the album stand up to the test of time? Kevin and Chris share their observations about this classic Observatory offering.*Recorded in March 2024.******LINKS<a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/6MPxSpygdpS6heZntWsnsD?dlsi=23e89aac001a43dc&nd=1&si=Lh3fi5rSTnmaUQqMJXOqjQ" rel="nofollow">Shazza&#39;s music</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@shazza21" rel="nofollow">Shazza&#39;s vids</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/shazza.wav/" rel="nofollow">Follow Shazza and check out her gigs</a>Follow Lion City Rock <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thefastcolors/" rel="nofollow">Facebook</a> / <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thefastcolors/" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a> Listen to <a href="https://kevinmathews.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow">Kevin Mathews&#39; music</a>******Like, follow and subscribe to Lion City Rock on <a href="https://redcircle.com/shows/lion-city-rock?_gl=1%2Aye4ejb%2A_gcl_au%2AMTgxNDU0Njc4Mi4xNjk3ODE3NDM0%2A_ga%2AMTA4OTk2MDc5Ni4xNjQxODA5MjM3%2A_ga_KVZ47LYJWW%2AMTcwMDkxMzE1NC4zMy4xLjE3MDA5MTUyNjIuMC4wLjA." rel="nofollow">RedCircle</a>, <a href="https://spoti.fi/3mhNWvq" rel="nofollow">Spotify</a>, <a href="https://bit.ly/lioncityrockapple" rel="nofollow">Apple Podcasts</a> or wherever you get your podcasts.

It&#39;s Christmas, baby! And guess who we have as our Lion City Rock holiday guest? It&#39;s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/itsrinesbaby/" rel="nofollow">RINES</a>, baby! This singer started spreading her wings in recent times with releases like &#39;Little Bird&#39;, &#39;When You Fall&#39; and &#39;Clown&#39;, but the relative newcomer is an ol&#39; sweet soul when it comes to music. She was bitten by the music bug years and years ago, running around her father&#39;s CD shop when she was young. By the time she started singing in pubs, RINES had already imbued a variety of musical styles - and her music reflects her many facets. She&#39;s definitely one to put on your playlist before the year is out!******LINKS<a href="https://www.instagram.com/itsrinesbaby/" rel="nofollow">Follow RINES</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/0jcR2IFFsEtMra80c9Zaei?si=tFik8wBiTI6GSxgP4w7Y7A" rel="nofollow">Listen to RINES&#39; music</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/0BiDoiYl1L6DdpACM9iICv?si=86e17aa3bbf9471a" rel="nofollow">Listen to 4Christmas</a> and <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/4jRNye808eii4PtTZKxO6D?si=F4bSTtVaRX62tvLBcRwEdg" rel="nofollow">Kevin Mathews&#39; music</a><a href="https://kevinmathews.bandcamp.com/album/are-friends-electronic" rel="nofollow">Listen to KayMac Music</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/49R6t6wBoPpSUyuiz3ffY0?si=mm2oOiB8Sayr38F10hTemg" rel="nofollow">Listen to Rondo Vitale</a>******Like, follow and subscribe to Lion City Rock on <a href="https://redcircle.com/shows/lion-city-rock?_gl=1%2Aye4ejb%2A_gcl_au%2AMTgxNDU0Njc4Mi4xNjk3ODE3NDM0%2A_ga%2AMTA4OTk2MDc5Ni4xNjQxODA5MjM3%2A_ga_KVZ47LYJWW%2AMTcwMDkxMzE1NC4zMy4xLjE3MDA5MTUyNjIuMC4wLjA." rel="nofollow">RedCircle</a>, <a href="https://spoti.fi/3mhNWvq" rel="nofollow">Spotify</a>, <a href="https://bit.ly/lioncityrockapple" rel="nofollow">Apple Podcasts</a> or wherever you get your podcasts.

He&#39;s one of the new breed of rappers that have inspired the young(er) generation of music fans in Singapore. In this special chat, he talks about his love for rap, and how one fateful gig changed his life forever.Kevin&#39;s and Chris&#39; rant and raves this week include, commercialising X&#39;mas, why they both could be stans of ABANGSAPAU and Kevin&#39;s new mix of an old Yuletide track, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/0BiDoiYl1L6DdpACM9iICv?si=86e17aa3bbf9471a" rel="nofollow">4Christmas</a>.******LINKS<a href="https://www.instagram.com/abangsapau/" rel="nofollow">Follow ABANGSAPAU</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/newmongrels.mi/" rel="nofollow">Follow New Mongrels</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/5Aisnyp1dEc7Hg7GvcaqUw?si=OvbTMIZlRn-cSO4d2GJ8eg" rel="nofollow">Listen to ABANGSAPAU&#39;s tracks</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/0BiDoiYl1L6DdpACM9iICv?si=86e17aa3bbf9471a" rel="nofollow">Listen to 4Christmas</a> and <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/4jRNye808eii4PtTZKxO6D?si=F4bSTtVaRX62tvLBcRwEdg" rel="nofollow">Kevin Mathews&#39; music</a><a href="https://kevinmathews.bandcamp.com/album/are-friends-electronic" rel="nofollow">Listen to KayMac Music</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/49R6t6wBoPpSUyuiz3ffY0?si=mm2oOiB8Sayr38F10hTemg" rel="nofollow">Listen to Rondo Vitale</a>******Like, follow and subscribe to Lion City Rock on <a href="https://redcircle.com/shows/lion-city-rock?_gl=1%2Aye4ejb%2A_gcl_au%2AMTgxNDU0Njc4Mi4xNjk3ODE3NDM0%2A_ga%2AMTA4OTk2MDc5Ni4xNjQxODA5MjM3%2A_ga_KVZ47LYJWW%2AMTcwMDkxMzE1NC4zMy4xLjE3MDA5MTUyNjIuMC4wLjA." rel="nofollow">RedCircle</a>, <a href="https://spoti.fi/3mhNWvq" rel="nofollow">Spotify</a>, <a href="https://bit.ly/lioncityrockapple" rel="nofollow">Apple Podcasts</a> or wherever you get your podcasts.

The Axean Festival last month featured 50 music artistes taking the opportunity to strut their stuff for the audiences at the Goodman Arts Centre, but did it achieve its goals? We don&#39;t know, we didn&#39;t organise it.But we can tell you what we liked and didn&#39;t like. Especially since we have our favourite gig guy Bas Linders in this episode to share his views. Meanwhile, Chris and Kevin wonder if such events are a good idea – and what could be done to make them better. Should the bands get together and use this as a platform to tour regionally? Are crowds here interested in bands from our neighbouring countries? And how do you REALLY pronounce &#34;Axean&#34;?Special appearance: Rebel Moon&#39;s Lim Yu Beng as &#34;concertgoer who gives soundbite&#34;.******LINKS<a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/4jRNye808eii4PtTZKxO6D?si=F4bSTtVaRX62tvLBcRwEdg" rel="nofollow">Listen to Kevin Mathews&#39; music</a><a href="https://kevinmathews.bandcamp.com/album/are-friends-electronic" rel="nofollow">Listen to KayMac Music</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/49R6t6wBoPpSUyuiz3ffY0?si=mm2oOiB8Sayr38F10hTemg" rel="nofollow">Listen to Rondo Vitale</a>******Like, follow and subscribe to Lion City Rock on <a href="https://redcircle.com/shows/lion-city-rock?_gl=1%2Aye4ejb%2A_gcl_au%2AMTgxNDU0Njc4Mi4xNjk3ODE3NDM0%2A_ga%2AMTA4OTk2MDc5Ni4xNjQxODA5MjM3%2A_ga_KVZ47LYJWW%2AMTcwMDkxMzE1NC4zMy4xLjE3MDA5MTUyNjIuMC4wLjA." rel="nofollow">RedCircle</a>, <a href="https://spoti.fi/3mhNWvq" rel="nofollow">Spotify</a>, <a href="https://bit.ly/lioncityrockapple" rel="nofollow">Apple Podcasts</a> or wherever you get your podcasts.

THIS WEEK: It&#39;s the incredible tale of J.M3! Recorded in early October, we sat down with the Singapore hip-hop artiste who has been making waves not just in the Lion City but in the region and beyond. Her hit &#39;Hot Sauce&#39; has been featured in the US TV series, Kung Fu; &#39;Tap Out&#39; was in the movie, Joy Ride (starring Everything Everywhere All At Once actress Stephanie Hsu), and she has even got her music on video games!So how did J.M3 (aka Jamie) get her start? She shares how she went from dancing to rapping, why she chose that moniker and what drives her to succeed. This girl is going places, and it&#39;s not least thanks to Lennat Mak, erstwhile drummer of Obedient Wives Club (and featured voice!) who takes care of bizness for J.M3.(*bloopers: please forgive us - we called the video game Affyn, but the full name is Affyn - Buddy Arena. We also called her EP Athena 180 when it&#39;s actually 180 Athena)******LINKS<a href="https://www.instagram.com/jm3usic/" rel="nofollow">Follow J.M3</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@JM3USIC/videos" rel="nofollow">Watch J.M3&#39;s MVs</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/1iuvFwzMREPmNlzoX1h8gx?si=7_lrhKeFQ1i42pd9nWzwaw" rel="nofollow">Listen to J.M3&#39;s music</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/4jRNye808eii4PtTZKxO6D?si=F4bSTtVaRX62tvLBcRwEdg" rel="nofollow">Listen to Kevin Mathews&#39; music</a><a href="https://kevinmathews.bandcamp.com/album/are-friends-electronic" rel="nofollow">Listen to KayMac Music</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/49R6t6wBoPpSUyuiz3ffY0?si=mm2oOiB8Sayr38F10hTemg" rel="nofollow">Listen to Rondo Vitale</a>******Like, follow and subscribe to Lion City Rock on <a href="https://redcircle.com/shows/lion-city-rock" rel="nofollow">RedCircle</a>, <a href="https://spoti.fi/3mhNWvq" rel="nofollow">Spotify</a>, <a href="https://bit.ly/lioncityrockapple" rel="nofollow">Apple Podcasts</a> or wherever you get your podcasts.

Meet Aeriqah, a musician whose introspective tunes have captured the hearts of fans both in Singapore and overseas. How else can you explain her picking up the Best Duet (Viewers Choice) prize at this year&#39;s California Music Video Awards for her song &#39;Maybe&#39;, a duet featuring Umar Sirhan?From forming a circle of like-minded friends in the music scene - including the likes of RENE and Jean Seizure - to becoming one of the Lion City&#39;s rising stars, the singer-songwriter has grown into her own, with ballads reflecting her innermost thoughts and emotions.

Ep87: Aeriqah

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2023/11/7/4/c9074358-f00c-49d3-9347-fa8a6d85b2f4_kiang_-_7_11_23__12.06_pm.mp3

Ti-i-i-ime seems to be on Lim Kiang&#39;s side. As a founding member of Straydogs, he was responsible for helping to shape the sound of Singapore&#39;s Sixties, thanks to songs like &#39;Freedom&#39;, &#39;Mum&#39;s Too Pampering&#39;, &#39;Cold Morning&#39; and &#39;Repent&#39;. The band captured the harder rhythms that earlier bands like The Quests and The Crescendos lacked. Now, nearly 60 years later, Lim Kiang shares what it&#39;s like to still rock out with Welcome To The Machine, arguably Asia&#39;s only Pink Floyd tribute band. Not bad for someone who picked up the bass not knowing anything more than four chords!******LINKS<a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/4chOeaBFwTk27Jlh34BGMc?si=2sFi0R-NTzuVIflb_df9kQ" rel="nofollow">Listen to Lim Kiang&#39;s album, Last Dog Standing</a><a href="https://theprojector.sg/films-and-events/rainbow/" rel="nofollow">Get tickets to see Welcome To The Machine&#39;s Dark Side of the Rainbow</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/4jRNye808eii4PtTZKxO6D?si=F4bSTtVaRX62tvLBcRwEdg" rel="nofollow">Listen to Kevin Mathews&#39; music</a><a href="https://kevinmathews.bandcamp.com/album/are-friends-electronic" rel="nofollow">Listen to KayMac Music</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/49R6t6wBoPpSUyuiz3ffY0?si=mm2oOiB8Sayr38F10hTemg" rel="nofollow">Listen to Rondo Vitale</a>******Like, follow and subscribe to Lion City Rock on <a href="https://redcircle.com/shows/lion-city-rock" rel="nofollow">RedCircle</a>, <a href="https://spoti.fi/3mhNWvq" rel="nofollow">Spotify</a>, <a href="https://bit.ly/lioncityrockapple" rel="nofollow">Apple Podcasts</a> or wherever you get your podcasts.

You&#39;d have to be living under a rock not to know about Shye. She&#39;s one of the hottest names in the Lion City these days and no wonder: In the past five years, Shye has released 4 EPs, 1 album, received a slew of awards, gigged around the world, and played support acts for some big names in music-dom (most recently for Grammy winner Daniel Caesar). And she&#39;s only barely 21! It seems like there&#39;s nothing she can do that can&#39;t be done. In this episode, she talks about...... that billboard in Times Square (that&#39;s New York!)... whether she is really shy (spoilers: yes)... what she really thinks of her fansCatch her next gig at <a href="https://axeanfestival.com/" rel="nofollow">the Axean Festival 2023</a>******LINKS<a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/1aqEk77J220IxgnGsgEz9T?si=DLtL8Ep1TNmxFhgUuC1sQg" rel="nofollow">Listen to Shye&#39;s new EP, 9Lives</a><a href="https://axeanfestival.com/" rel="nofollow">Get tickets and line-up for the Axean Festival 2023</a>Listen to Kevin Mathews&#39; music:<a href="https://kevinmathews.bandcamp.com/album/are-friends-electronic" rel="nofollow">KayMac</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/49R6t6wBoPpSUyuiz3ffY0?si=mm2oOiB8Sayr38F10hTemg" rel="nofollow">Rondo Vitale</a><a href="https://kevinmathews.bandcamp.com/album/time-flies" rel="nofollow">Kevin&#39;s Time Flies album</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/6MhVFaieSJOFHTCNmD1cJR?si=iWzYRoR4S0uDalzkMGtqhw" rel="nofollow">New remixes for My One And Only</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/06I66HoQKrqaQrb10x6xnS?si=LDffZe4pSDSyRWUt-nIdRQ" rel="nofollow">The Watchmen: Alpha</a>******Like, follow and subscribe to Lion City Rock on <a href="https://redcircle.com/shows/lion-city-rock" rel="nofollow">RedCircle</a>, <a href="https://spoti.fi/3mhNWvq" rel="nofollow">Spotify</a>, <a href="https://bit.ly/lioncityrockapple" rel="nofollow">Apple Podcasts</a> or wherever you get your podcasts.
