Hmmm... part 2

Recently, there's a big hoo-haa over the upcoming Sembawang Fest. Honestly, this is the best name for a music-related event since Swing Singapore. I sure ain't smoking what they were smoking when they conjured up that name.

Every dodgy gig organiser knows that in order to be dodgy, you need to cover your tracks well enough. Sembawang Fest was the brainchild of Malcolm Davies who is the owner of the Prince Of Wales backpacker hotel. Check out his site for the festival.

What really cheesed me off was that in his fucken shitty press release which I've received. It was slated to be a music festival celebrating Singapore music. Instead, all I see are Aussie acts which I've never even heard of in my life headlining the show. But of course, he changed his tune on his official site which didn't mention the local music slant at all.

Our local boys and girls are paid jackshit or not at all. Where is the fucken justification that when he actually said this on his site: We are firmly committed to our local acts which are at an international level.

Then why are some of my friends not offered payment for their performances at all? This guy is a fucker!

The only redeeming thing about him is that he sells Grand Ridge ale which rocks.
