Baybeats 2006
It was fantastic to see the new bands, the new sounds, the new crowd. There's always a sense of nostralgia when you see all the people you used to know. I was thinking to myself, this used to be MY scene and MY crowd. But now not anymore. But thats ok. It was fun while it lasted.

A Vacant Affair
First of all, let me say that the sound coming from the stage was amazing. High energy, deep bass, crystal clear highs. I haven't heard a band sound this good in a long time. But AVA were something different today. Was it the intense soaring vocals? The showmanship of Aaron and Joshua? Or Maha(oops) Rudi with the killer effects? Heck... Even Shen sounded good for once on his gay pink bass. Many have not seen Matthew as passionate as this and were amazed as AVA did what they did best on stage. Rocking out the crowd and having fun at the same time. AVA proved once again that they represent one of Singapore's best in the post-hardcore genre. With the release of their 5-song EP, I think its safe to say that much much more can be expected from Wake Me Up's newest addition.
