Today's competition went well.
a big thanks to Apathetic Geisha once again!! You guys rock!! it's a pity that Zombie Bar didn't provide keyboards, otherwise vanessa will be playing the Atreyu song. Apathetic Geisha, if you have any gigs coming up, just message us, we'll be there to support you!!
these 2 days, i really seen a lot of good bands! For today, i'm gonna have to highlight Crossbred. They are truly the kings of all guitar players. Amazing originals they have there, both guitars playing lead together and never out of timing. What really gives the audience a real big shock, was during the interval to their second song., the stage light went off and one of the guitarist's guitar LIT UP!! freaking wicked!!
and there's the other band, West Grand Boulevard!! They are like the fathers who brought me in to local scene about 2 years back(p.s it's a term, they are not old!!).
It's nice to see Jude, Eric, Bryan, Dharma, Jon performing. Jon's drumming was amazing. One of the best drummer i've ever seen. WGB songs are wicked especially when the whole band are made up of really talented musicians.
here's the results:
1st: West Grand Boulevard
2nd: Skyjuice(a band that plays bon jovi)
3rd: Crossbred
4th: Aviery
WGB and Skyjuice made it to the finals. Congras to them! Go WGB!!
p.s.Taking part in a competition is like taking O' levels.

Biography
You are what you make yourself out to be. Aviery knows that first hand. Perfectionism? Check. Professionalism? Double check. You don't need to hold yourself to the status quo, and the tried and tested ways of doing stuff, making music (especially in Singapore), copying trends. The modus operandi of the band has always been to make the fantasized real in our union of melody and heaviness, emotion and obsession.
We in Aviery are all influenced by different sub-genres of rock and metal and proudly wear our varying influences on our sleeves. There's a general love for intricate metallic guitar melodies that ride over hardcore vocals, but also soft passages of piano pop that hint at the musical openness of the band.
Aviery has not always been the latest incarnation it is right now. Started in 2004 by Frederick, Dawn, Hafyz and John as a four-piece band, we jammed covers by bands like hopesfall, thrice, and silverstein, while working on a few originals that more accurately reflected the band's style. In early 2005, John and Hafyz left to pursue other interests in what was a major turning point for the band stylistically. Firdaus, Sufrin, and Adel were added soon after and they contributed majorly to a new heavier sound that has come to define the Aviery you recognize now.
This, is the definition of fairytale.
This, is the rebirth of a broken band.
This, most of all,
is,
Aviery..
