Now that elections excitement has died down, we return to regular progamming: It’s the first MONDAY of the month, so…. we have very talented musicians banding together to give you original compositions! We’re presenting, none other than … OMNIFORM! 9pm onwards @ Cafe
And if you’re craving for a little funk early on in the week – we have just the right group for you. ‘O Funk plays @ Space on TUESDAY from 8:30pm onwards – just what the doctor ordered -play that funky music,…er non-white boys…
And the Eddy Inuendo Jam Session is baaacckkk… featuring, well, Eddy on drums – the rest of them are youse and youse! Bring your instruments, bring your voice or just bring yourself to appreciate music in the making. 8:30pm on WEDNESDAY @ Cafe. And if you’re bursting to perform -here is another outlet – it’s STAND UP FOR SINGAPORE - an open mic night. Entry at SGD 10 per person and thick skin.

Bani Haykal has an itch and we’re happy to help him scratch it. Bani is presenting new materials (guitar along with other woodwind instruments like Clarinet, Xaphoon) and have interaction with listeners about music and the performance’s philosophy on THURSDAY from 8:30pm onwards @ Space
On FRIDAY - we have Jeremy Tordjman’s band @ Cafe from 9:30pm onwards! A different approach from what would be considered: traditional, he jams out something that he prefers to call “Fuzzy Jazz Groove†instead of fusion music. That is what you get with this Hot Spicy band. Neat harmonies, very worked themes, there are all the ingredients of a refreshing new project, made with the involvement of musicians that followed his trip and his idea of music. A show of a great class, a flawless quality and a freshness which reminds you that music can be simply a timeless moment to share. We have JEREMY TORDJMAN : Electric Guitar, GREG LYONS : Sax. DARREN MOORE : Drums. HIROAKI MAEKAWA : Bass!

We’ve got a new group to croon out those jazzy tunes – The Take Off Cafe – Smooth and chilled – 9:30pm onwards @ Cafe on FRIDAY .

They’ve brought back three of their fave selectors from Singapore and beyond. Topping the bill, we’ve got Darren Dubwise from Syndicate crew. Expect lots of BASS. In support, we’ve got Andrew M from Aussieland dropping some quality Hip-Hop. His crate runs deep, so expect a healthy mix of old school and new school beats.
