Aftermath of Chinatown gig!

WOOooooo.... Our Chinatown gig is over! It was damn fun.. We played 5 songs.. The most amazing thing was that we were able to hype up a large crowd of
"dynasty warriors" (our beloved senior citizen aundience)!


They were actually "HOI-ing" to Re Qing De Sha Mo....

There was also a National Arts Council Events Manager who approached us after the performance.. It appears we came off as a very energetic band who had very good rapport with the audience.. It was pretty comforting to hear that we could interact that well with the crowd. And we might just be collaborating with her in the future.. So we're looking forward to that!

Anyways we would like to thank everyone who came, Evelyn, Shuli, Jalyn, Jocelyn,Cynthia, Adwin's family, not forgetting Jessie! Thanks to all the crowd for their cheers and claps too!

NTU Hall 6 Gig

Wooots everyone.. It's been a long time since this blog's been updated.. Anyways we just had a gig at NTU Hall 6 Residence.. We were guest performers for the Singers In X-tion Competition.. And Ernest was a guest judge..

Our new song "Yi Qi LaLaLa"(Num Lai) was pretty cool, although could have worked on the lyrics better.. Overall the performance was great... And we recieved our 2nd plaque! Quite cool..
Hall Six was pretty family-like and the atmosphere was great.. Special thanks to Alvin who actually got us the gig.. He's a great compere, able to really make the audience laugh....
And also me, Adwin and Ernest went crazy over this overly "hot babe" who was a helper.. oh wells...
HAHAHAHA..


Anyways Updates on upcoming gigs! Next Saturday 28th Oct we have a gig at Chinatown area.. Performance is at night probably around 7 plus.. More details to come..
Also another gig at Park Hotel on 5th November, this should be a closed door gig which means you guys might not be able to support us... More details soon also..

Update! on Mid-Autumn Festival Celebrations at Phor Kak See Monastery

Hey all.. It's been a long time since we had a new post... but we just had an event and it was to celebrate the Mid-Autumn celebrations at Phor Kak See Monastery..

Prior to this event, BlackForest was enrolled into a Young Artist Club(YAC) in this temple and we have been learning vocals, dancing and theatre drama in this course.. We were all invited to perform at yesterday's event and Ernest sang 2 songs while me and Bal were in the hip hop dance item.... So let's get on with the event

Firstly, XiaoLing(YAC member) sang on stage together with a little girl, then introduced Ernest to play the guitar for SuTeck(YAC member). He then proceeded to sing 2 songs...... First was an oldie "Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin" and the feel was pretty good at the beginning... The only let down was that throughout the night the audio was quite terrible... But he tried this new Thai song that he stayed up till 3am to complete the lyrics in Mandarin.. It was great and full of "feel"..... Althogh things didn't turn out great, he did put in his 100%! 3 Cheers for Ernest! Hip Hip Hooray! X3

Alright now the dance item! We were all pretty hyped up doing back stage warm ups and playing ridiculously funny games to keep our spirits high... It then came to crunch time and we all gave a cheer nefore we went out to the stage... The dance was very very FUN... in fact, we all felt that the 2 1/2 minutes went by so quickly, we were all disappointed that it didn't last longer.. But overall, we all had fun at this event. A little something different from ur normal gig but FUN...

BlackForest would like to thank YAC for making it fun all this while and the friendship that we gained through this experience! Thanks Aster, Candice, Cherie, Clorine, Jason, Joey, Leah,Lilin, Michelle, SuTeck, XiaoLing and of course Wilson(dance instructor) and his CREW!

Although Adwin couldn't make it, we knew he was wishing us good luck and laughing his ASS off at Russell Peters.. Thanks Adwin..

No pics for now.. coming soon...
That's all for this post! Lengthy but fun! Cheers everyone!
