“Remember what Bilbo used to say: It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.”

Word.

And to be swept off your feet, is that truly an unwelcoming experience, instead anticipate, shiver, for you are alive. Inhale. Take flight.

And we celebrate these heroes – traveling paths of love – commencing with JC Band on THURSDAY @ Cafe from 8:30pm onwards – celebrating their passion of Jazz, kicking some music our way.

And Darryl’s crew take center stage on FRIDAY @ Cafe from 9:30pm onwards. A bonded quintet with Andrew on guitar, Mr Shawn Letts on sax, Jase Sng on bass, the man himself with drums and Joshua Wan on keys – promises a smile to your face. Jah Jah, King of Kings, put together a touch of reggae with few drops of RnB, 10pm at lounge.

And mais bien sur, it’s a night with Ayaschool holding that steady beam, guiding you to home. It’s 9:30pm onwards on SATURDAY @ Cafe with truckloads of rhythms and improv – shake it up! And if you’re feeling the pull of the electronica God, head on up to Lounge where 44 Beats play some mean sets from house to break beats – with just a push over the edge to dance land. 9:30pm onwards. Where the pull is to analog, we offer you gritty rock and roll with Carnation and Pinholes churning out those drum solos and air guitars. 9pm onwards @ Space.

Peace Out, Ya’ll

Goooooood Morning, Singapore! It’s August and it is indeed a spellbinding month with the magic of Nature while she plays delightful havoc with the weather  bringing us sunny days as well as cool autumn periods, face upturned, reveling in the light drizzle on face and wind through hair.

And we serve you our little picker upper for the start of the work week: Omniform plays TONIGHT @ Blu Jaz and that means you’ll be basking in music glory brought to you by our 13 member group. 9pm onwards @ Cafe. But if you think the next 9 hours are a pain to get through – I’d recommend dropping by yr favorite cafe (like duh) @ 11 Bali Lane for a great lunch set, served to you by Aunty Betty for that extra comfort touch!

Swing Fling presents itself @ Cafe this first THURSDAY of the month, complete with tappers, swingers, flingers (not) and they beckon you over with open arms. Join Sing or Brian for a demo if you’ve not tried Lindy Hop before from 8:30pm but just join the Jitterbugs Dancers on the floor if you just need a dance jam!

Before you know it, the long weekend is upon us and Greg Lyons’ Quartet holds court with snazzy note and crisp playing, weaving soul and joy together through sensational jazz tunes. 9:30pm @ Cafe. If you’re hankering for a groovier beat, it will be hard pressed to find one better than GOOD TIMES - found at Lounge from 9:30pm with a great mix of funk tones and ragin’ hip hop just for you to get your moves on the dance floor. Mix it up with some tribal as we’ve got Lila Drums @ Space with some African drumming from 8pm onwards.

To round off OUR weekend-no one by Ayaschool deliver the punch to our sweet spot with a great concoction of music, heart, soul of joy and passion. It’s a deffo stupendous set of jazz, funk and a little of everything else. 9:30pm @ Cafe
