We&#39;re excited about this episode because one of our guests is a local music icon: Dr Liang Wern Fook, one of the key voices of xinyao (meaning &#34;Singapore songs&#34;) – which became a national musical and cultural movement.Alongside him is Wang Chenwei, who was the composer-in-residence for the Singapore Chinese Orchestra (SCO) and arranged Dr Liang&#39;s xinyao songs, which they performed and recorded on the album, Encounter, out now on streaming platforms.How did xinyao come about? What was the significance of xinyao? And did you know you could make a musical instrument using a coconut husk and a cockle shell?To find out the answers, you need to listen to this episode on the Lion City Rock podcast!Special thanks to the Singapore Chinese Orchestra; Pearl, Wen Li and Ryan of The Nutgraf; and Pok from The Substation (for his invaluable help)---LINKS<a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/6NfRWMCstCYL8BveQDq8WL?si=TRdHbVa5RLKHgzRjx3G8sQ" rel="nofollow">Listen to Encounter</a><a href="https://www.substation.org/indiepride" rel="nofollow">Buy tickets for Indie Pride</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/lioncityrock" rel="nofollow">Lion City Rock Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/lioncityrock/" rel="nofollow">Lion City Rock Instagram</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@LionCityRocksg" rel="nofollow">Lion City Rock YouTube</a><a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/lioncityrock" rel="nofollow">Buy us a kopi on Buy Me A Coffee</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0hEeVayaKAf9mDQXtScz4U?si=649f2ad4df844841" rel="nofollow">The Lion City Rock Playlist</a>

Who&#39;s the most important person when it comes to a live performance? No, not the singer. Not the band manager. Not even the guy who removes all the blue M&amp;Ms.If you&#39;re in a band about to do a show, the sound engineer or sound tech is the person you want on your side. They can make you sound great on the night. (And vice versa if you&#39;re being a turd to them.)Like our guest, Mark Jason. Mark has helmed the soundboard at pubs of past and present, including Balaclava, Wala Wala, and Blackbird. You&#39;ve also probably heard his handiwork at many events, including this year&#39;s BigO 40 festival and the SG50 show at the National Stadium. But why did he become a sound engineer? What were his most memorable gigs he&#39;s worked on? And what does a sound tech do, anyway?In this episode, he answers all those questions, and as a bonus, reveals how you can get on the good graces of your sound tech (note: adult beverages may be involved).*this episode was recorded in August 2025--&#34;Screen Scars&#34; performed by K. Mat.

What is it like being an experimental jazz singer-songwriter in the Lion City? How does one navigate a musical niche in a space like Singapore? How easy is it to explore out-of-the-box musical inspirations in a place where traditional forms seem to be favoured more?Namie Rasman, lead singer of Namie &amp; The Waves and a jazz singer in her own right, takes the hot seat to answer these questions and share her jazz odyssey.

What do echoes, money, dogs and time have in common? What&#39;s the dark side of tribute bands? And how much stroking is necessary before a podcast episode can actually begin?Laurence and Noel of Welcome To The Machine, a Pink Floyd tribute band from Singapore, answer those questions and more. Their new show, a complete performance of Pink Floyd&#39;s landmark album, The Wall, is a cross between a musical and a rock gig. But more importantly, it answers the age-old question: which one&#39;s Pink?--&#34;The Wall&#34;, &#34;Time&#34;, &#34;Comfortably Numb&#34; &amp; &#34;Coming Back To Life&#34; performed by Welcome To The Machine. ******LINKSWelcome To The Machine:  <a href="https://www.welcometothemachine.band/" rel="nofollow">Website</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wttm_band" rel="nofollow">/ Instag</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dominicchin.music/" rel="nofollow">ram</a> / <a href="https://www.facebook.com/welcometothemachinesingapore/" rel="nofollow">Facebook</a> / <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCee7RwPqnFeDO9Q-74WxN-g" rel="nofollow">YouTube</a><a href="https://www.welcometothemachine.band/" rel="nofollow">Get tickets for The Wall</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> What would you like us to talk about? Email us: <a href="mailto:lioncityrocksg@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">lioncityrocksg@gmail.com</a>Oh, and Kevin wrote a song for National Day too! <a href="https://m.soundcloud.com/k-mat-155749076/little-red-dot-remix?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwMDIG1leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHuxVYT22b1ugEBhNWB0-HCBWGBQLzjEfmZUKrdT-e4QKKihsxblg1lB3kjBX_aem_9I1JrbXA8WJMten1HISQXw&si=c615d88cd5e747e285c6b0d190c14dfd&utm_campaign=social_sharing&utm_medium=text&utm_source=clipboard" rel="nofollow">Listen here</a>Listen: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0hEeVayaKAf9mDQXtScz4U?si=87c0bc8923cc442e" rel="nofollow">The Lion City Rock Playlist</a>Read Kevin&#39;s <a href="https://kevinmathews.substack.com/" rel="nofollow">Power of Pop Substack</a> / <a href="https://bizarroworld11.substack.com/" rel="nofollow">Bizarro World</a>Read Chris&#39; <a href="https://lioncityrock.substack.com/p/full-sput-ahead" rel="nofollow">Full Sput Ahead!

Ep134: Shining On with WTTM

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2025/8/9/4/60b8bee8-aad9-4680-971b-e471a1903615_dominic_chin_2_-_9_8_25__11.54_am.mp3

Dominic Chin has been singing ever since he was in his teens. His first original song, &#34;You First Believed&#34; – a tribute to Singapore&#39;s founding father and first Prime Minister, went viral. Now, 11 years later, he&#39;s back with a new single, &#34;Needy&#34; and plans for a new album drop at the end of the year. In between, he&#39;s performed thousands of shows – on his own and with the MDC – as well as collabed with some of the coolest name in the scene, including Jean Seizure, lamin and Marian Carmel. Oh, and he&#39;s co-written a song for National Day, called For Singapore, along with RINES and Gail Belmonte.So what was that music journey like? How is songwriting helping cope with mental health?

Can you believe that it was 60 years ago when Naomi and The Boys released their megahit, &#34;Happy Happy Birthday Baby&#34;? That same year, the Lion City decided to make its way in the world by itself! Coincidence?

It&#39;s been a long time coming, but we finally did it! We have Leslie Low on the show! Sure, it took us the better part of three years – specifically three years, seven months and 3 days – but hey, who&#39;s counting?Leslie one of Singapore&#39;s finest songwriters, and if there ever is a Rock &#39;n&#39; Roll Hall Of Fame for Singapore musicians, he should be in it! So we got him to answer all our crucial questions: How did he get started all those years ago? What did author Don Bosco and Lion City icon Chris Ho do to shape his music journey? And who&#39;s going for his gig on 10 Aug, 5pm at the Esplanade Recital Studio?

DID YOU KNOW that Leslie Low&#39;s music journey kinda sorta began at the same time as one of Singapore&#39;s influential arts companies, The Substation? Well, we didn&#39;t – until we were asked to support this cool event on <a href="https://www.eventbrite.sg/e/passing-leslie-low-in-concert-for-the-substations-35th-year-tickets-1479521471549" rel="nofollow">10 Aug, 5pm at the Esplanade Recital Studio</a>.Passing is a lyrical and sonic journey through Leslie&#39;s indie-pop and soft rock reflections as an artist growing up, living in, and experiencing Singapore. He has handpicked personal favourites from his solo repertoire, and will be backed by Sean Lam (Concave Scream, Hanging Up the Moon) and Alexius Cai (Piblokto). This is part of The Substation&#39;s programme, Gathering Ground 2025, and follows recent collaborations to celebrate the music of Singaporean artists, many of whom began their formative years at the old Substation Garden or Guinness Theatre – including Leslie! <a href="https://www.eventbrite.sg/e/passing-leslie-low-in-concert-for-the-substations-35th-year-tickets-1479521471549" rel="nofollow">Get your tickets from Eventbrite here</a>&#34;Finer Life&#34; performed by The Fast Colors

Was there a better way to spend a Sunday than having your eardrums blasted and your face melted by some of the biggest bands of the 1990s? Well, if you&#39;re not into that sorta thing, then yes, probably. But for us at the Lion City Rock pod, Day 2 of the BigO 4-0 show brought the house down as six bands took the stage at The Blackbird!

As crowds throng the spaces to listen to political candidates wax lyrical about how they plan to improve Singapore, the LCR team look back on two days in April when crowds thronged The Blackbird Singapore to listen to veteran indie rockers who came together to wax lyrical about the 40th anniversary of BigO magazine, the pre-eminent champion of local indie music back in the late &#39;80s and throughout the 1990s.What made the grade? What were the big surprises? And who were the candidates - er, sorry, Lion City Rockers - who rocked our boat?

Ep129: BigO 4-0 (a review)

Where can you go to hear a live band play Steely Dan&#39;s &#34;Reelin&#39; In The Years&#34; or the 11-minute opus that is the live version of &#34;Sultans Of Swing&#34;, complete with sax solo? Well, The Blackbird at Gillman Barracks, that&#39;s where. The Blackbird&#39;s resident band, Reverie, plays songs that aren&#39;t always on your Spotify Top 10; instead, revelling in dishing out rarer tracks that you don&#39;t always hear on Singapore&#39;s live music circuit. But Reverie has a bigger stake in The Blackbird than you think: Singer &amp; guitarist Surath helms the venue, while multi-instrumentalist Joanna helps coordinate events held there, including the recent She Shines music event, and BigO&#39;s 40th anniversary show. With Blackbird&#39;s 2nd birthday coming up, the two of them share the highs and lows of being in a cover band and running a live music venue. -*audio quality inherent at source-&#34;Lion City Rock Theme&#34; performed by Kevin Mathews and Chris Toh. ******LINKSFollow The Blackbird: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theblackbird.sg/" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a> Read Kevin&#39;s <a href="https://kevinmathews.substack.com/p/digging-up-singapores-indie-roots" rel="nofollow">Digging Up Singapore&#39;s Indie Roots</a> on <a href="https://kevinmathews.substack.com/" rel="nofollow">Power of Pop Substack</a> / <a href="https://bizarroworld11.substack.com/" rel="nofollow">Bizarro World</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> Email us: <a href="mailto:lioncityrocksg@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">lioncityrocksg@gmail.com</a>Listen: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0hEeVayaKAf9mDQXtScz4U?si=87c0bc8923cc442e" rel="nofollow">The Lion City Rock Playlist</a>Read Chris&#39; <a href="https://lioncityrock.substack.com/p/full-sput-ahead" rel="nofollow">Full Sput Ahead!

Our featured guests on the podcast are none other than The Oddfellows!They helped spearhead the Singapore indie scene in the late 1980s and have garnered much acclaim and accolades through the years.
