Get ready for the midweek laughs as Jonathan Atheron hosts Stand Up Singapore – our first Wednesdays of the month, encourages aspiring comedians to trudge up to Space and try their hand at impressing our audience. So if you’re feeling in the mood for an open mic night – come on up. Entry from 8pm and at SGD 10 per pax.

We have a special guests coming into town – Singapore boy Charlie Lim returns with his new EP and he plays @ Space this Friday from 9pm onwards. It’s great sound and in his words on his music : “I can’t put a finger on it without pigeonholing, so the best way I found to deal with the situation is to cook up some story about being the love child of John Mayer and Jackie Chan. Minus the paparazzi and kung fu poses.”

And we’ll be welcoming Ayaschool with open arms this Saturday, complete with one of the biggest, most beautiful voices around: Alemay, Casey S on bass and Muhd Noor on drums – we’re going R&B kids – get your groove on and head on down to Cafe. 9:30pm onwards!

Now as you know, we have a new kid on the block – Piedra Negra - serving addictive Mexican food down Haji Lane, off Beach Road. SynQ is doing a welcome to the new Semester party on 2nd Flr  this Saturday-and it’s a range of music: from lo-fi, chillout, electro, trance with a touch of  raggaeton and b-boy based hip-hop. 9pm onwards yo.

Peace Out!

If you’re feeling for some rock and indie, Mark Chee and friends are there to entertain. 9:30pm onwards @ Space
